Review of It Comes at Night

This is absolutely not what I expected, which was a film with supernatural themes. I was not disappointed however. It was far more realistic and all the more disturbing for it. I cared for all of the characters. There were no bad guys here, just depictions of people with families on the edge, trying to survive with the threat of a horrible death lurking literally at the door, I found the 17 year old boy's character especially well done. To be a teen growing up in such a world while dealing internally with that fearful horror along with hormones and curiosity and even the simple love of a pet dog would certainly give cause for the kind of nightmares he was having. A tense, bleak nightmarish thriller/horror all told.
