Release and reception

According to the book The Naked Truth: Why Hollywood Doesn't Make X-Rated Movies by Kevin S. Sandler, In the Cold of Night was initially assigned an X rating by the Motion Picture Association of America just prior to their adoption of the NC-17 rating.[1]

Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com called the film "ridiculous", and wrote that it "isn't nearly as fun as a could be, laboring through an uninteresting story with an uncomfortably dim protagonist."[2] Rob Hunter of Film School Rejects also referred to the film as "ridiculous", and wrote that "it does overstay its welcome, though, as some elements are dragged out too long, but it's a small price to pay for the softcore fun and stellar B-movie cast."[3]

Home media

In March 2019, the film was restored in 4K and released on DVD and Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome.[2][3][4]
