On Rotten Tomatoes, while there is no official critic score due to limited reviews, user feedback reflects a divided audience response, with many praising the tense atmosphere but criticizing the pacing and character development. Some reviewers appreciated the film's ambition in creating a claustrophobic horror setting and the effective use of suspenseful moments. However, others felt that the plot was predictable and the characters lacked depth. For example, user reviews on IMDb frequently mention that the movie delivers an adequate horror experience but falls short in delivering a unique or memorable story. Metacritic does not have sufficient data for this title to provide an official score or consensus. Overall, Strangers Within is seen as an average indie horror that might appeal to genre enthusiasts but may not satisfy viewers seeking a fresh or sophisticated horror thriller.
