Upon finishing It Comes at Night, I knew it would be the type of film that completely divides audiences. It's a film that was always going to be misinterpreted to be something else by many audiences and it's not a film that neatly checks off many genre conventions or clichés. Even its horror label will be disputed by some. What I got most out of the film was its relentless and unnerving sense of anxiety, paranoia, and fear that runs throughout the whole thing. It's not an easy atmosphere to build constantly throughout a 90 minute-runtime, but Trey Edward Shults actually accomplishes it. This is a fantastic piece of psychological horror and mystery, one to be celebrated.
