It Comes at Night
dir. Trey Edward Shults · 2017
A family barricades themselves in their home, haunted by an unseen threat that looms outside. As they welcome another family seeking refuge, the atmosphere thickens with suspicion and dread, revealing the darkness that lurks within each character. Watching it feels like being trapped in a pressure cooker, where every glance and whispered word carries the weight of impending doom.
Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, the tenuous domestic order he has established with his wife and son is put to the ultimate test with the arrival of a desperate young family seeking refuge. Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul.
