Reviews

While 'A Scream in the Night' has its moments of suspense and intrigue, the overall consensus among critics is that it falls short in delivering a truly captivating mystery. The film's pacing has been criticized as slow, with some viewers finding it challenging to stay engaged throughout. Despite Lon Chaney Jr.'s solid performance, the plot lacks depth and fails to build a strong connection with the audience. The atmospheric elements and shadowy cinematography have been praised for creating a moody ambiance, but these aspects alone are not enough to elevate the movie. Ultimately, 'A Scream in the Night' earns mixed reviews, with its vintage charm overshadowed by a lackluster execution. IMDb rating: 4.3/10
