Critics Consensus: Hold the Dark's unsettling aesthetic offers more of what filmgoers expect from director Jeremy Saulnier - and is often enough to prop up shaky narrative underpinnings.

The film never coheres outside of those flashes, ultimately delivering a disappointing, confusing, but undeniably fascinating experience.
It makes for intriguing and often gripping viewing, but delivers a more confounding experience than is necessary.
A bold, mesmerizing and journey into a land of shadows and mystery that will leave a deep and unnerving impression.
Its determined ambition and atmospheric skill keeps Saulnier firmly in the category of directors to watch.
Suddenly, what seemed like a man-vs-nature survivalist tale morphs into something that's part Arctic Noir and part violent art-horror.
If Hold The Dark lacks the sheer razor-wire tension of Saulnier's earlier crime-horror corkers, it still knows how to make the carnage count-to force us to experience, on a gut level, every casualty.
I found the story fairly involving, even though it did not make much sense to me. It has a fine sense of place, and there is a lot of suspense because the murders seem so random and sudden you don't know who is going to die next.
Even when Saulnier fails to wake up the monster his movie hides, Hold the Dark delivers a decent thriller event. [Full review in Spanish].
The director has made conflict in rural American outposts his own, but needs to perhaps turn on the lights at some point.
Ambitious pulp fiction thriller.
It's a shame that the masses won't get to see this on the big screen, but those looking to access a meditative campfire tale will be more than thrilled.
Hold the Dark is a frustrating disappointment that shows flashes of what we've come to expect from Saulnier while also failing to live up to the standard he's set.
