I'll tell you why so serious

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

TONIGHT SHE COMES is an indie horror that attempts to emulate the genuine nastiness of the EVIL DEAD remake but doesn't come close. The usual bunch of friends (read: cannon fodder) head off to the stereotypical cabin in the woods to look for a missing girl, but all they find are the usual saucy shenanigans. Eventually the girl shows up, starkers, and a demonic possession plot kicks in. This is a film that suffers from run-of-the-mill predictability and lame character work. It attempts to out-do the EVIL DEAD and has some truly grotesque bad taste moments but scary it isn't - just stupid.

Tonight She Comes is a terrible, but kinda enjoyable mess. It's extremely stupid: The writing is atrocious, the plot is non- existent, character motivation and logic is thrown right out the window and the tone is just all over the place. At times the movie is quite self aware but other times it's just awkward. Occasionally there's a beautiful glimmer of wonderful schlock with some decently revolting, but mainly disgusting gore that's actually quite fun. The acting goes from serviceable to pretty goddamn awful, though Larissa White, who plays Ashley, deserves a shout-out for being one of the better parts of the film, on multiple fronts. The film definitely has the potential to be a so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasure, if you can tolerate its nonsensical story, awkward humour, embarrassing writing and the cringey characters.

With a promising opening scene "Tonight She Comes" gets your hopes up but when the cast is introduced you know you're in for quite a turkey.. The characters are also extremely badly written and do the most stupid things possible when they are in peril. They are horny, clueless and we do not care for them at all. The director tries to mix horror with comedy but fails completely. Worse, the story goes downhill fast and the promising gore melts like snow for the sun. Compared to classics like "Cabin Fever", "It Follows" or even "Evil Dead" this is simply awful. It reminds you of the (way better) "Shallow Ground" but the second half is really a turn-off with lots of dialogue and the dull story doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Even the obvious "John Carpenter inspired" score can't save this mess. Yes, the musical score is the only upside here..

Pretty much the same as any horror movie coming out these days - terrible. You might get the impression that you are about to see a 80s style slasher until this takes a somewhat unusual twist. This will go down well with horror enthusiasts but anyone not overly enamored by the genre will probably stop watching halfway (or less) through. One redeeming feature is the perfect naked body of Dal Nicole which truly is the star of the show.
