"The logic is of the natural occurrence of dreaming, not as a concept but as an understood source of potential pleasure and possible pain. Of a journey that makes sense to the dreamer on a deeply sensory level, and not in a structural one. For this, the movie rocks."                        - Moviegoing with Bill

"Nyctophobia is an artistic creation. Like an artist, writer/director Jeong uses imagery to visually evoke emotions and ideas, aiming to connect with the audience."    - Film Threat

"Jeong’s intoxicating filmmaking style allows for the film that captivates at each turn, and while it’s arthouse vibe for sure won’t be to everyone’s taste, there is no denying a level of ingenuity and invention on display here."     - UK Film Review

"Jeong places a lot of faith in her audience to carry through some of the more abstract concepts of the film. It’s a slow-burn in the truest sense that eschews all manner of cheap thrills we have gotten used to from modern-day horror and leans into the psychological aspect with vigor."    - Take 2 Indie Review

"Nyctophobia is a nerve-racking psychological thriller that does not go for genre formulas or a traditional setting. Instead, it’s an interpretation of something real, a condition widely recognized as chronic but seldom explored in its conception and expression."                    - Movie blogger

"Deftly making creative use of animation and visual effects to enhance the fantastical and at times harrowing dreamscape of her central character’s mind, Jeong proves herself an original and innovative filmmaker adding an excitingly fresh perspective to the cinematic landscape."​    - Universal Cinema

"Jeong’s refusal to spoon-feed meaning is admirable. Nyctophobia trusts its viewers to sit with ambiguity, and while the pacing is slow and intentionally disorienting, the film remains visually engaging throughout."    - CineDump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
