Review of It Comes at Night (2017) by Saucyninja007 — 17 Jun 2017
An excellent movie that was unfortunately marketed as something else. Tense, emotional, atmospheric, with terrific acting all around by the cast. All the negative reviews are by people that wanted a movie with monsters and jump scares where everything was spoonfed to them.
These people should be hating on the marketing team behind this film's trailer, not the film itself. This movie is about the second coming of bubonic plague. The monster here is fear, human nature, desperation, and the inevitability of death.
Nobody knows what is happening or why, which honestly makes it that more terrifying. If you are like me you aren't scared by movies about ghosts or monsters that yell "BOO" and jump at the screen.
Instead you are scared by the true horrors that the real world offers. That is what this film is about. The people complaining about this film's ending (which I won't spoil) clearly missed the entire point of it.
They deserve to be disappointed. Maybe next time they will research a movie before seeing it instead of only going off of today's highly unreliable trailers.
