I'm all for minimalist movies. I enjoy a good story. I can forgive budget constraints.
What i cannot forgive is a title that specifically promises something that the movie does NOT deliver.
'It Comes At Night' Naturally you would expect the immanent arrival of something,... ANYTHING.
Well guess what?... (Spoiler Alert!)
It doesn't. NOTHING comes. Nothing happens. At all.
This movie should have been called 'Paranoia' People were worried about something. That's ALL. That is the active ingredient in this film. Worrying about something that never happens.
I'm getting awfully annoyed with this latest trend of movies where nothing occurs, yet it is conveyed in such a pompous manner that the film-makers substitute a plot for the 'feeling' of where the plot should be.
Its literally the equivalent of writing a best-selling novel, labeling it as an advanced 'post-modern' masterpiece and leaving all of the pages blank.
Watching paint dry is a superior viewing experience because you are at least subjected to a linear resolution, and at the very least there is a result at the end.
