Fantastic!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
First hour of the movie is very intense. But the ending is unexpected in a disappointing way. The directing may be good but the story is trash.
Terrible movie. Absolutely nothing happens, and absolutely nothing comes at night, in the morning, for dinner. Nothing..... Just nothing.
Don't..........................................................
From the description of the movie on Netflix - and the title of the movie itself - I was expecting "It Comes at Night" to be a full blooded horror movie. But in actual fact, it really isn't. Though there are a few creepy sequences, the movie is more of a straight drama, a kind of post-apocalypse movie that spends most of its time running at a fairly sober level. Actually, the movie being different than what I expected didn't bother me at all. What did bother me was that there are some key features of the movie that don't have enough explanation at all. For example, the part where the dog goes crazy and runs off, and a later scene about a door being open mysteriously. The movie definitely has some strengths - it does not spoon-feed its audience about the plot setup, instead making you learn little by little what happened. There are some tense moments, dramatic and/or creepy. And I wasn't bored at any moment. But the many unexplained questions that come up ultimately make this a (near) miss. Still, if the filmmakers attempt to make another movie, I will give it a look, since there were some good things in this film, and they may have learned from their mistakes here.
