Review of It Comes at Night (2017) by Domicibulkova — 15 Jun 2017

This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen . And I am an extremely kind critic. I know the effort that the actors, and crew go through to make a film so I keep that in mind with any criticism I level at them. This movie is a "0/10" in my opinion due to the horrible writing. The actors did very well with what they were given but the story line was so empty and way too mysterious to make any sense. We have no idea what the disease was or it's origin. We don't know what's happening in the rest of America or the world. We don't have any context to root the events in the movie. We can reasonably assume it's in America in a rural town but that's it. In an attempt to set up a mystery, the writers completely destroyed any hope of the audience understanding what was going on (not that there was much to understand). At the end of the movie, everyone at the matinee I was at was saying "WTF" out loud at the end. Also, the cheap attempt at shock when the child is shot felt completely devoid of meaning. It just felt crude and empty. Have I used the word "empty" enough in this review? Jesus Christ, stay away from this movie !
