Paul Believed He Had To Kill Will And His Family To Protect His Own
In It Comes At Night's ending, Paul — believing Andrew is sick — forces Will and his family out of the cabin. A fight breaks out that ends with Sarah (Carmen Ejogo) shooting Will and Paul shooting Andrew and Will's wife Kim (Riley Keough). Later, a visibly infected Travis lies in bed and is comforted by his mother. The horror film closes with a scene showing a devastated Paul and Sarah seated at a table, presumably having put Travis out of his misery and succumbing to the virus themselves. On...
The Visions Travis Has Are Probably Fever Dreams
Until the ending, Travis experiences several surreal and terrifying nightmares. While these may seem complex and nonsensical, they act as the film's biggest form of foreshadowing. One of the first nightmares that Travis has involves seeing Will with hugely dilated pupils, basically meaning that Will has the mysterious sickness. This, along with his dream about Kim dripping bile into his mouth, foreshadows the events in It Comes At Night's ending. If Will and his family are the ones who are si...
The Movie Reveals Very Little About Its Zombies
It Comes At Night's ending doesn’t give away who infected who, nor does the movie offer much information about the virus or what it does to people, which necessitates the infected being killed. Similarly, the audience never discovers the “It” of the title or why it comes at night. The ambiguous ending is by design, probably why It Comes At Night left critics so divided. Director Trey Edward Shults explained in an interview that his goal was to leave the ending with some unanswered questions(v...
It Comes At Night Is About The Fine Line Between Self-Preservation And Paranoia
In the end, Paul's paranoia and mistrust reveal the movie's true meaning. Ultimately, it's a film about self-preservation, how strict Darwinism hardens those against trust, and how paranoia leads to false, if not detrimental, assumptions. It is a "survival of the fittest" mentality, and when this adage is applied, it strips humanity along with it. It Comes At Night's changing aspect ratiomarks Travis' slow descent from being numbered among the "fittest" and his subsequent death. When one take...
The Original Ending Was Another Giant Dream Sequence
It might come as a surprise to know that It Comes At Night's ending was almost very different. The original ending was much more twisted with Trey Edward Shults wanting to end things with a nightmare sequence. However, he chose to change that ending, and actor Joel Edgerton agreed completely with the new direction the movie took (via Cinema Blend). This ending would see Travis in another fever dream, battling the demons he came across in his house. Trey Shults said that the main story was wha...

Jun 9, 2017 · It is a movie in which the villains are loss, grief, pain, fear, and distrust—very human emotions—and it is has no traditional undead brain-eaters. There are no zombies in the streets, boogeymen in the basement or witches in the woods—and yet it is one of the most terrifying films in years.
