Clevercell Very disappointing...

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

beaudy The film showcases something more terrifying and crippling then monsters, zombies, vampires or the like. Paranoia and distrust, combined with constant stress in extreme conditions will wear any human down to the point they become monsters capable of the unimaginable. This is not an original idea, but it's well executed just the same.The performances are convincing. Writers and director trust the audience to understand how strenuous the situation the characters find themselves in without going into the why's and how's the world is in the place it's at. This is likely a key problem for many of today's young "critics" growing up in a film industry dominated by the Marvel universe and the Walking Dead. They have to actually SEE the IT that comes at night. They just don't get what IT is or why it would be so terrifying...or if they do, it's not what they expected...so it's rated a 1. If it's not your cup of tea, can you not use another #? No one of intelligence reads reviews rated 1.I say give the film a look.

Jack Bonar (Daedsikcaj) Wanna know what comes at night? Do you really wanna know?ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! The "monster" of the film is nothing more than the paranoia and distrust of others that exists in a post apocalyptic world where most people are dead from a very deadly disease.Wanna know what I thought was coming at night? ANYTHING!!! The trailers for this movie that were out before it's release, and look on YouTube or read the reviews here (I'm betting someone else mentions this) showed a series of scenes that gave the impression that this was a creature feature, monster movie, whatever. It could have been aliens, demons, cannibals, whatever... from what I was shown I was sold a completely different film than what I got. Add to that the fact that THE TITLE GIVES THE SAME IDEA to people and fed in to the misleading trailers and you walk away feeling ripped off plain and simple.If it had been marketed as a film along the lines of The Road or a darker less religious (maybe even atheistic with how devoid of any hope the film is in the world it creates) Book of Eli and I totally would have walked away liking it. In a world where society has collapsed it does a great job of showing just how untrusting, un-neighborly, cruel and selfish (more so the 2nd family than the central) people can really be when they cast aside the rules we live by. I just don't see what explanation the filmmaker could possibly have for going with this title, and by doing so, it makes it impossible for him to avoid suspicion and claim innocence regarding the misleading, false-advertising trailers. Sorry, can't blame that one on the studio, your title fed right into the deception.And btw, if that's the intent and you think audiences ENJOY being tricked, ask Trey Parker how that kind of crap works and if he has any regrets over the early years of South Park. We don't like being the butt of the joke or somebody's lab rat. Making sure to check the directors name so I never watch anything else of theirs like ever. I'm sure they would know from reading all this what exactly I would suggest that they go and do to themselves.

jonahcybarra-82318 It Comes at Night is a perfect example of marketing done wrong for a movie. When this film's trailers and posters came out, I was immediately intrigued and believed that it was a horror film. Although I ended up not seeing it in theaters, I watched it for the first time last night and was shocked by the difference in genre from what I had been imagining in my head. The trailers would have you believe that it is a horror movie when in reality, although there is a horror element to it, the film is more so a suspense than anything. Bad marketing aside, this film is a technological masterpiece, sporting beautiful shots, careful uses of lighting, and a real feeling of isolation and intensity that is felt throughout the entirety of the film. This film for the first half of it had me completely hooked and I was fascinated by the world they appeared to be building, wanting to know more. However all of this buildup led to an ending that felt not only as though it was rushed, it was also confusing and took me looking it up to understand it. The major question posed by this film, whether one should trust those whom aren't family during tense or dangerous times, is a deep question that I have found myself contemplating over since watching this film. Joel Edgerton helps to carry this film and does a good job of performing tasks and dealing with extreme circumstances in relatable, realistic ways. Even something as seemingly insignificant as missing shots when shooting at people or in high-pressure situations helped to drive home the natural feel of his character. One of the largest questions about this movie was the title (Ignoring the insane amount of jokes made) and what it could possibly mean. My opinion is that it is a reference to the son's visions he experiences at night and how they morph from simply being visions to seemingly merge with real life. An interesting and engaging plot idea that kept me tense throughout the whole film but fails somewhat to deliver on its own tension, this a movie that film students should watch if simply to appreciate and learn from the technical aspects of It Comes at Night.

jimbo-53-186511 In the midst of an outbreak of a deadly plague, a man and his family keep themselves locked away in their house and follow a very strict protocol (involving keeping doors locked at all times and only venturing outside when absolutely necessary). When a stranger arrives at their house offering to trade food for water the family decide that it may be better for both families to pool their resources and agree to let the other family stay, but can they be trusted?Director Trey Edward Shults does a commendable job in terms of creating atmosphere and tension (particularly at the start of the film). The isolated setting is used to good effect and the mistrust that exists between the families is a fairly solid base in terms of creating paranoia. Unfortunately, this is really where the praise for this film ends...I think it's fair to say that Shults does a much better job as a director than he does as a writer; not a lot is explained here and much of the dialogue is either uninteresting or does very little to drive anything forward. There is no explanation of how this plague began or how people get infected? What you're left with then is a bit of atmosphere, a bit of tension and paranoia, but nothing to glue everything together and with very little in the way of a story it does make it difficult to become involved with this film - it also doesn't help that the film feels a tad repetitive at times as well.Shults is a fairly new director and I can see some potential here; as I say some of the technical aspects are quite good and he also gets some good performances out of his actors. However, if he chooses to write and direct on his next project he could do with putting a bit more thought into his next script.
