Critical reception
Zoe Aiano in a review for the East European Film Bulletin wrote that "Despite its imperfections, Twilight is a masterpiece of world-building and tone that draws you in with its ominous allusions and the archetypal but effective use of remote village tropes to play on our darkest fears."
