Reviews
Critics have had mixed feelings about 'Night Alarm,' with some praising its atmosphere and performances while others note its shortcomings. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has yet to achieve a large audience score, reflective of its niche appeal in the crime thriller genre. IMDb users have rated it 5.8/10, indicating that while it may not be a groundbreaking classic, it holds a certain charm for fans of early 20th-century cinema. A review from Films of the Golden Age states, 'Bruce Cabot gives a solid performance that elevates the material, even when the plot occasionally falters.' Similarly, a critic from Turner Classic Movies (TCM) remarked, 'The film's noir elements are evident, though it sometimes veers into melodrama, but it’s an engaging watch for genre enthusiasts.' While Night Alarm may not have soared to critical acclaim, its intriguing premise and strong lead performance have helped it maintain a degree of respect within classic film circles.
