What to Know

Critics Consensus

It Comes at Night makes lethally effective use of its bare-bones trappings while proving once again that what's left unseen can be just as horrifying as anything on the screen.

4/5
It Comes at Night is a powerful, slow-burning horror, a distressing and nihilistic examination of human nature that lingers in the mind long after the shocking denouement. Go to Full Review
K. Austin Collins The Ringer 08/10/2017
The movie has its flaws. But one of Shults's main triumphs is to get us to believe in the danger of the outside world as fiercely as his characters do. Go to Full Review
Jason Anderson Sight & Sound 07/19/2017
Shults's adoption of a more vicious mode sharpens his already discomfiting take on families in states of extreme duress in his debut feature Krisha. Go to Full Review

"It Comes at Night" is tightly comprised of excruciating moral challenges that escalate with time. Go to Full Review
Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It 02/22/2023
Writer/director Trey Edward Shults builds so much tension with such vague storytelling, and I loved every bit of the ambiguity and metaphorical message it provides. Go to Full Review

Bernardo S @pulgadagua 5h "Quando uma ameaça sobrenatural corrompe o mundo" Essa é a frase que me despertou o interesse em assistir ao filme, eu mesmo já conhecia mas ainda não havia degustado. Após assistir podemos concordar que o filme não tem nada de sobrenatural é apenas um terror psicológico medíocre. Sabe onde li essa frase nada haver com a história do filme? Na sinopse do prime vídeo. Me vendendo um tijolo dentro de uma caixa de iphone. See more Corey S @corecom Jan 13 Dark and suspenseful. Very much so a movie where the monster(s) aren't the scariest thing in the movie, but the people are. A classic "the people are the monsters" type of movie. It lulls into a sense of comfort for a short bit where things seem alright, but the tension remains until it comes to an ugly head. There is no satisfying ending, though that seems to be part of the point. A good watch and would maybe give it a re-watch for fun. See more a b @TheVoiceOfReason Dec 23 Great cinematography, however this is a very slow movie! I remember watching this movie in cinemas 8yrs ago, and still remember the disappointment. The last 15mins the plot gets interesting but the ending undelivered hugely! See more Augustus S @augustus8206 Dec 5 watched this with my friend. i thought it was decent, and i liked the one shot camera pans. the acting was good. but we found ourselves mighty confused, especially with that ending. See more sjohnston267 Nov 6 I'd almost describe it as a slow burn but that would indicate that the ending is exciting but it just kind of fizzles out pretty much. See more Alyssa R @MidwestAly Oct 12 Things build up and turn out to be a whole bunch of nothing. They could have done a lot with the premise but it fell wayyyy short. See more Read all reviews
