- Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave the film a thumbs up, saying "It is a movie in which the villains are loss, grief, pain, fear and distrust — very human emotions — and it has no traditional brain-eaters." He added that "it is one of the most terrifying films in years".

When I left my screening of Trey Edward Shults’ It Comes at Night, I could feel my whole body shaking - from the moment I got up from my theater seat, through the entire ride home, until I went to sleep a couple hours later. Described as a post-apocalyptic horror film, the truly astonishing feat of It Comes at Night is that while none of it necessarily scared me like The Witch or The Conjuring did, its images still managed to stay imprinted on the insides of my eyelids, ready for me to revisit whenever I closed my eyes. It Comes at Night left me haunted on a very human level.
The movie fulfills the promise of Shults’ last outing, Krisha, a micro-budget drama set within a claustrophobic environment, that was also about the tension threatening to tear a family apart from each other. But unlike Krisha, Shults translates that similar kind of story into a film that feels more like a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller crossed with a paranoid horror story about monsters lurking in the woods. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to either genre, but it combines the two to devastating effect, with a dreamlike narrative and style that lets its tone and paranoia seep into you long before the film’s plot even sets itself into motion.
On that note, It Comes at Night is best experienced by going in knowing and seeing as little as possible, which means avoiding detail-heavy plot synopses and trailers. For context’s sake, I’ll say that the film takes place sometime after a mysterious, infectious disease has apparently begun taking out a majority of humanity. It follows a family living in a boarded-up house in the woods, led by Joel Edgerton’s Paul and Carmen Ejogo’s Sarah, who cross paths with another family, led by Christopher Abbott’s Will and Riley Keough’s Kim. As their lives continue to intertwine, the threat of each family being wiped out by the disease only increases, and as such, the paranoia from both sides spreads faster than the plague they’re trying to avoid catching in the first place.
It Comes at Night is a film about family. Two to be specific, with each trying to stay together, with no desire to tear the other one apart. But the battle to stay alive, more often than not, will have deadly implications for everyone involved. This is no new idea for the dystopian genre to explore, but few manage to touch on it with as much of an ...
