CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

pdcmagno 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.

jstathus I don't think this really falls under the Horror OR Mystery category. It's nothing. Suspense, maybe at best? The beginning and some parts here and there were promising, but the rest really was...nothing. You wait, and wait, and guess what? NOTHING. There is really no point to the movie at all. There is no discernible sequence of events. The whole movie just feels like bits and pieces stuck together. A LOT is missing though. I understand that some movies have unresolved endings. Sometimes it works. This is definitely NOT one of those times. The ending isn't unresolved, the whole movie is. Absolutely no back story at all. People in cities started getting "sick". That's literally all you learn through the entire movie. What comes at night? Is it some sort of virus? Zombies perhaps? Hell, I would take aliens even. An entire movie about not leaving your house only works if you have even the slightest idea of WHY you aren't leaving your house. Just so disappointing. So glad I didn't spend money to see this in theatres or rent it.

failsafegamers One of the biggest things I see with other reviews of this movies is that people seem upset that there is no payoff to the title of the film. The title It Comes At Night makes it seem almost as if there is some grand greater monster or enemy that comes in the night. In reality the title is about the creeping fear of paranoia that comes in the night and not some scary monsters or zombies or anything like that. This movie is very slow moving at times, it is an incredible slow burn about a family that is stuck in some kind of disease driven apocalypse. It is never expressed how it started, how it is transferred, or what it exactly does. This will either be something you like or hate, personally I love the feeling of putting us right in the story of the end of the world, in a world that already far beyond hope of saving.It Comes At Night isn't a movie about saving the world or being brought back from the brink of death, in fact it cements itself hard in the other direction. We never know anything about this virus or if there is a cute, we spend the movie with a family that is just trying to survive instead. Where other films in the genre might focus on hope and finding a cute It Comes At Night stands out as not trying to tell that story. Rather it focuses on the intense paranoia of a single family just doing their best. I thought the performances were great, as it is a very slow character driven movie, the acting really is what holds everything together. You're able to relate and really understand this feeling of being anxious and paranoid, especially with the son. I appreciate that this movie doesn't sit down and explain every little thing to you, it shows you character through actions instead of just telling you. Overall I would absolutely recommend this if you are looking for something with a tense, slow build. If you want a zombie or action flick with a monster, this is most likely not the choice for you.

perica-43151 The movie is a good work, that is very atmospheric. It does not deal with cheap thrills, really it is a reflection of horror of losing members of your own family, of illness, and the director dealt with his own loss of father to cancer by filming this. So, while not really a master piece, and a bit abstract for average horror lovers, it is a pretty solid work of art, worthy of your time if you are into exploring these kind of issues in a serious way. It is abstract enough, you can see how people in the middle ages felt when dealing with the plague, or indeed in the case of any future apocalyptic pandemic. Film about atmosphere, not really about cheap thrills.
