Alas, there's just not enough gristle and gore on the bone of this story to make for a memorably haunting viewer experience." He concluded: "Despite the star performance by Winona Ryder and an intriguing setup, 'Gone in the Night' is destined to fade quickly from our memories." Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote: "What at first looks like a standard missing-person suspense tale turns out to have a more complicated agenda - but it is so haphazardly advanced and clumsily articulated, the film itself seems to be fumbling around for a cohering structure or mood." Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "depressingly slack and indecisive, neither leaning hard enough into its B-movie preposterousness nor taking the time to build any real, sustained suspense." References Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a score of 2.5/4, writing: "the twist here is so creatively perverted and strange and bizarre that David Cronenberg might approve. The website's consensus reads, " Gone in the Night has a handful of interesting ideas, but they're largely undone by some deeply questionable storytelling choices." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 20 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 48% of 61 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.5/10. In the United States and Canada, the film earned $123,833 from 136 theaters in its opening weekend. Shortly after, Vertical Entertainment acquired distribution rights to the film. The film, then titled The Cow, had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 13, 2022.
In September 2021, it was announced Winona Ryder, Dermot Mulroney, John Gallagher Jr., Owen Teague and Brianne Tju had joined the cast of the film, with Eli Horowitz directing from a screenplay he wrote alongside Matthew Derby.
