CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

clairekammenzind But.. I still don't know what comes at night. That really of bothers me, considering it's the title of the film. I know it's labeled a mystery/horror, but it left a bit too much mystery. I would like to have known if the whole family was actually sick before Paul killed them or just the kid? And I kind of wanted to see the sick kid.. even if that's a little macabre. The ending was a little bit of a let down as well with them just sickly, staring blankly at one another; but there you have it. I honestly really dug the movie and would've given it a higher rating if it wasn't for my exigent need to know what comes at night.

micheline-470-569696 Unlike other people I love onions. On pizza, in salads, with salmon and horseradish and many more. And I love surprises. Especially in movies. However, if it looks like a candy apple and is classified as a candy apple... I want it to taste like candy apple. I don't like onions as a surprise. You do neither? Don't expect this movie to be candy apple that its trailer promised.You know, allt hrough the movie I thought I had figured out the "secret hints" at a plot twist I was confident that one of my speculations would turn out to be correct... like......everything was just Travis' (the son's) hallucinations while being terribly sick... or ...Will and Kim (the visitors) had sinister intentions/ a dark secret/ a troubled past which would be unravelled by someone of the family (Paul/ Sarah/ Travis)... or ...Will and Kim were just stool pigeons and there were going to be more people out there in the woods coming after the family's belongings and supplies... or ...Andrew had been kidnapped by Will and Kim (hence his sleepwalk and Kim's strange reaction to it) and they tried to hide that he wasn't their son... or ...It's all about Paul's schizophrenic paranoia and its impact on all his family, the whole virus-apocalypse thing never actually happened - or at least not to that zombie-like extent... or ...Travis or his mom would wreak havoc after Paul killed Andrew... or ...the "thing that comes at night" had nothing to do at all with a virus but with human's evolution... ...but... in the end...NOTHING.I loved the cast and their performances. The plot was something we've heard of sooo many times already... but could have become a new and different approach to the virus topic thing - which honestly would have been awesome!The movie builds up suspense to an extent I haven't been experiencing for a long time. And I love that it is playing with the viewers munds and imagination rather than overuse cheap shock moments with exaggerated sound effects every few minutes. I also don't mind endings that aren't actually endings, I like finals that leave you with questions and lead to discussions.However, in this movie all the suspense, the presumptions, alleged innuendos and questions blow up during the whole movie only to eventually erupt into a dissapointing unsatisfying ending.To those who claim it's an allegory on humanity or today's society or whatever: I can understand that point of view too. I also like movies with some deeper meaning. However, does this mean a lack of logic and omitting any answers and explanations are requirements for a movie with superior importance nowadays? And does this mean that all the people who gave bad reviews lack profoundness? Just because they expected something else from a movie that's considered to be a horror movie? I don't think so. I'm a fan of a clever, thought-provoking plot that goes beyond the usual shocker flick. This wasn't one of them. This was a wannabe philosophical mystery something that makes me ask why they would call it "horror" movie in the first place? If you don't know how to connect pensiveness and fright, at least don't classify it into such a strong genre like horror (with a heavy with meaning title) and make the viewers expect something that never really happens.

bward-20 This movie had all the elements to be good....but wasn't. I kept waiting for some small explanations and back story but no. I wouldn't watch this even if we're free on Netflix.

Wizard-8 From the description of the movie on Netflix - and the title of the movie itself - I was expecting "It Comes at Night" to be a full blooded horror movie. But in actual fact, it really isn't. Though there are a few creepy sequences, the movie is more of a straight drama, a kind of post-apocalypse movie that spends most of its time running at a fairly sober level. Actually, the movie being different than what I expected didn't bother me at all. What did bother me was that there are some key features of the movie that don't have enough explanation at all. For example, the part where the dog goes crazy and runs off, and a later scene about a door being open mysteriously. The movie definitely has some strengths - it does not spoon-feed its audience about the plot setup, instead making you learn little by little what happened. There are some tense moments, dramatic and/or creepy. And I wasn't bored at any moment. But the many unexplained questions that come up ultimately make this a (near) miss. Still, if the filmmakers attempt to make another movie, I will give it a look, since there were some good things in this film, and they may have learned from their mistakes here.
