Imagine working hard all your life and moving into your dream woodland lodge in a beautiful part of the world and then a location scout shows up one day and is like "I'm working on a film called Haunted Hill Horror: Blood in the Woods Log Cabin of Doom" and I think your place would be perfect."

IT COMES AT NIGHT (2017)

😿Dog Dies

A simple yet complex tale about family during an apocalyptic sickness. You can take it at face value or dig deeper, It Comes at Night gives you the option to do either or. Simply disturbing in part due to human nature and how hard we fight for our kin even if it may not be “right” (hello, Pet Sematary).

⭐⭐⭐.5

Family of three (mom, dad, son) living in woods (was a family of four but they had to off the grandpa ‘cause he was “sick”). Stranger breaks in during the night, they find out he has a family (wife and son), they bring the family to their home (big mistake). First family's dog goes missing, comes back that night but he is “sick.” Second family's son let him in while sleepwalking and the first family's son (Travis) sent him back to bed. So basically everyone has been contaminated, right? Either way the second family’s kid gets “sick” and the first family takes the second family out, it is brutal. Travis is shell shocked and comes down sick the next day (just like his vivid nightmares predicted).The movie ends as it starts with the first family going down a member due to sickness, this time Travis. We close on a shot of just the mom and dad, no talking.

We do the hard things during the hard times. It comes at night. Begging the question, what is it? We know from the title that it comes at night but we learn very quickly that the “it” in question might also come during the day too. What “it” is may be up for interpretation but for me the “it” was terror, usually in the form of nightmares for our main character Travis. As anyone who suffers from frequent nightmares will tell you, they plague the nights and don’t let go, sometimes the sufferer feels safer sleeping in the day because if they have a nightmare then they would wake to the sunshine instead of darkness. I think the terror came at night. And Travis’ fears were right.

It Comes At Night, 2017, Dir. Trey Edward Shults

Plot: paranoia and mistrust brew as two families shelter together from a highly contagious and fatal virus.

Is it Good?

Dude, yes. A24 delivers again.

Is it Fun?

Nope! It's delightful but TENSE and HEAVY. Not so much that I would struggle to rewatch it though.

Is it Scary?

Sure! Definitely more on the psychological and horrific end of the spectrum, but not shit-your-pants scary. Scary in the sense that the characters and circumstances feel very real.

horror sub-genres • survival horror

a survival horror storyline usually involves the investigation and confrontation of horrific forces and the character’s fight to stay alive.
