It Comes at Night

About This Movie

So, 'It Comes at Night' is one of those films that leans heavily on atmosphere rather than jump scares, you know? It's got this ominous tone that really hangs in the air. The story unfolds slowly, letting the tension build as you get to know this family in their isolated home. You'll notice the performances are raw and believable, especially from the lead, who just carries that weight of protectiveness and fear. Practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the dread without being flashy. There's this constant question of trust and survival that makes it really resonate. It’s unsettling in a way that stays with you, almost like a ghost in the back of your mind after the credits roll.

Atmospheric tension builds throughout · Focus on character dynamics and fear · Not your typical horror film
