It Comes At Night - Official Trailer 5/1/17

Oh this is Shults' new film? I was interested and excited before, but that has doubled now. Krisha was in my top 10 last year.
 
That's such a great poster. I remember passing by it at the movie theater and immediately wanting to see it just because of how nice it looked.
 
Didn't care for the trailer. Very samey. However, the talent behind it makes it interesting.

The real offender here is "we"

It follows
We are the night
We go on
We are still here
We are what we are
They look like people
What we become
You are not alone
I am not a serial killer
We need to talk about Kevin
We are the flesh
What we do in shadows

I love this trend, then, cause a lot of those are great movies.
 
That was fantastic. I can't wait to watch it.
 
Doesn't look like my local, 1 hour/30 mile away, theater is gonna be showing this. Guess I'll just buy tickets for The Mummy instead...
Not really.

Friend who saw it at a screening said it's pretty good, but isn't really the movie that is advertised in the trailer.

Not surprised. That seems to be a common trend these days with some of the A24/Annapurna/lower budget films that people tend to consider horror films (see: The Witch, The Babadook).

I just watched the director's debut film, Krisha, a few days ago. And while I liked it, I felt like that, too, was painted as a film with more sinister content than it actually had. Or maybe that was just my interpretation of it based off the poster and some of the reviews I had read.
 
looks awesome, some Thing vibes are very welcome.
 
Opening next week here too. Excited for this now that I mistakenly read the premise (trying to go in fresh)
 
I saw this film last month.

It's got some great performances, and it's a very pretty film. I will say nothing about the narrative...but it will do well with critics.
 
I've read some spoilers about this and it seems they are marketing this as a very different type of movie than it actually is.
 
Pleasantly surprised to see this playing near me this Thurday, haven't been to a theater in ages, think this will tip me towards going. Need a good horror movie theater experience, been too long.
 
Looks like RT still sitting at 88%.

Saw this Thursday. Great performances, sound design and cinematography. The movie is full of tension and dread. I think there were 1-2 cheap jump scares, but the rest of the movie was very tense, but not that scary unfortunately.

Huge spoilers:
The movie is mis-marketed. Nothing comes at night except additional paranoia. There is a sickness, people are infected, the paranoia about whos infected and who isn't is present in the day but amplified at night, like most fears. As a creature feature fan I was hoping for SOMETHING out there, but still enjoyed the film.
 
This not being a horror movie makes me more interested in this. A haunting, dreadful, and tense thriller is way harder to do than just being scary IMO
 
Just got out of it. Really liked it. Tense as hell.

Spoiler:
So I think...Travis opened the door? Right? There was that sequence where he exits the house at night looking for the dog. I initially thought that was a dream/hallucination from the sickness, but I'm thinking it may have actually happened. Travis himself may have even thought it was a dream. It's kind of the only way to explain the door being open in the first place.
 
That is not what I was expecting. Really liked it I guess though. What I can say is that that was one of the most fucked up bleak movies I have seen in a while.

Movie really comes down (for me) to show not just how people act and think in situations of duress but...
There is a scene early on that focuses on a painting in the house. It's (medeivial?) depiction of a feild focused on battle and torture. For some reason I had a real existential type feeling towards the end climax and just thought back to that scene. Not only is what happened messed up but it's also a bad part of being human and dealing with the aftermath and the act
.
 
man fuck this movie

not tense at all just boring

noticed a couple walkouts and a general air of puzzlement when the movie ended
 
I assume it's like The Witch/VVitch then? A really slow burn, etc? Looking forward to it regardless.
 
Really enjoyed this movie. I recently read about how the director made this movie about losing his father recently and I could totally feel that in the film. It's just so sad, scared, and alone. The kid who played Travis was fantastic.

purely visual it's not that bad outside of 2 or 3 scenes, still wouldn't recommend it as a movie to see at 10am with your gf like I did though lol

even though she felt down for a bit after it, I loved it, one of my favorites of the past ~year and a half easily, the only movie I've seen this year that I'd rank above it would be Get Out. And even then this makes a better case as a straight drama.

Shot beautifully, great acting, good writing, gut-wrenching moments, both genuine tense moments and normal more jumpy scares. So fucking good ugh

I also just love A24 in general (even if some of their movies were only eh to me - American Honey and Under the Skin being the notable bad apples I've seen)

Excited for A Ghost Story and Good Time next


Also man, I liked The Witch alright (enjoyed It Follows more) but fading to black pretty much every time some serious shit happened really messed with the pacing of that movie.


Edit: For what it's worth this has scared me more than any movie I can think of in theaters recently and I watch a ton of thrillers/horrors.
 
Is this thread where we are discussing the film? No OT?

I feel like I missed something important. Maybe I'm confused because at some point it becomes muddled which scenes are dreams and which are reality.

How did the dog get into the house? The red door only leads into another interior room. Was the other family infected? Are to assume that the son went looking for the dog, but blamed the door being open on the child? What am I to make of the son's infatuation for the visitor's wife? Why was the son so horrified by the dead tree he saw after chasing the dog? What did he see up or hear up in the branches?

Response to plot spoilers
you didn't miss anything, a lot was kept intentionally vague to avoid dramatic irony, or, you the viewer seeing more than the characters were. The point of it all was to make you experience the events with the same info the characters had. The infatuation was just a 17 yo boy seeing a woman who isn't his mom finally.
 
Saw it thursday night and i really loved it. Others in the theater we complaining out loud how it blows but I'm not surprised as a lot of people think crappy movies like Annabelle are what horror is supposed to be, cheap jump scares.

Ohhh, okay. I thought the final sequence of disconnected shots was supposed to result in some kind of revelation or twist. So we aren't really supposed to know what happened? But we can definitely conclude that the son got sick and died? The final shot seemed pretty definitive, though I guess that could be a bad dream too.

The VVitch Effect: due to a high Rotten Tomatoes score, a bunch of people that really weren't meant as an intended audience for this film end up seeing it anyway and being monumentally disappointed and annoyed by vagueness and slow pacing.

I thought it was interesting the whole way through, since you're never really quite sure where the film is headed. Though maybe this was just my personal experience since I never watched more than the first teaser trailer. I'm actually a little surprised at how much the first full-length trailer gave away. I'm glad I went into the film mostly blind and unspoiled. If you had seen the more story-focused trailer, you would probably be tapping your foot and waiting for the story beats in the trailer to play out.

It Follows was exactly what it said on the tin.

The Witch on the other hand...

Upon initial reveal it was pandering towards the straight up Horror genre. The trailers kept dropping shit quotes just like The Witch.

“Scariest movie since The Blair Witch Project!”
 
Saw the movie tonight and loved it. Unfortunately some fat fuck kept belching loudly through the movie and talking to his obnoxious family.

And yeah, at the end people were bitching. "That's it? Well that's a stupid movie."

I'll eventually learn to stop going to theaters.

Same response to my theater with Cabin in the Woods.

I had a terrible crowd tonight too. It's like they walked in with the intent to provide commentary for everyone
