It Comes at Night:Film Review – how far will you go to protect your family
This is an intense horror drama where the suspense builds slowly.
The action is mainly set in one house isolated in the woods, the only entry / exit is through the eerie blood red door. All we know is there's been some kind of pandemic and the plague is spread by any physical contact, everyone needs to maintain some very special precautions to stay safe. The scenes are dark with atmospheric lanterns lighting the interiors and causing a claustrophobic feeling.
The film is a slow burner during the character building sections, where two families are thrown together, each are struggling to survive.
This is a complex emotional survival drama, not the usual jump-scare.
The title is little misleading though, there wasn't any single monster to threaten the families at night.
BIG SPOILER (Don't look down >>> DON'T!)
> EVERYONE DIES IN THE END.
8/10.
