Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Dec 13, 2024
Keeping the violence — and the villain — mainly in the shadows, the filmmakers build to a climax that’s frustratingly dumb and drawn-out. Go to Full Review
Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Jan 16, 2026
"Like so many average thrillers, ‘The Man in the White Van’ commits more to narrative structure than a singular message that will keep audiences thinking after the fact." Go to Full Review
Matt Glasby Radio Times Oct 15, 2025
2/5
Neither true crime, nor true horror, the film ends up splitting the difference, with unsatisfying results. Go to Full Review
Heather Sloan Gray MovieJawn Oct 6, 2025
The tension builds not through gore (the film’s PG-13 rating keeps explicit violence off-screen) but through slow roll of a van’s tires on gravel, a distant engine humming at dusk, and an expansive field that suddenly seems too exposed. Go to Full Review

4/10

Wolfe is personable and committed, Bassinger nails the ‘70s vibe, and Skai Jackson is likable and credible as Annie’s best friend Patty. Go to Full Review
