Review of It Comes at Night (2017) by Pizzawizard — 21 Jun 2017
I really really liked this movie and I was pretty shocked to realize that others hated it so much. When I got home I watched the trailers and now I understand the frustration around it: this was an incredibly poorly marketed movie that sets you up to expect a horror movie.
This isn't a horror movie though, it is a small post apocalyptic suspense. The movie focuses on tension, questions, and paranoia. I have seen many people complain about the many loose ends in the film but the question marks are SO important to why this movie works.
If you are making a movie that explores the paranoia between characters, you can't give the audience all of the answers, answers eliminate suspicion and skepticism. I'd recommend this movie for people who wanted to like Walking Dead but couldn't get over the **** writing/acting.
It's basically a really good and smart episode of that show.
