It Comes at Night

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• “It Comes at Night is a film of tense gradations, a chamber piece set at the twilight of humanity.”

  Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out · 100

• “With his fine cast and his gracefully restrained screenplay, Shults makes horror recognizable.”

  Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter · 100

• “It Comes at Night is pretty terrifying to sit through, but it may be even scarier after it’s over, when you sift through what you’ve seen and try to piece together what it may have meant.”

  A.O. Scott, The New York Times · 100

• “Once again, Shults has delivered a top-notch psychological thriller, but It Comes at Night builds an unnerving atmosphere around unspecified sci-fi circumstances.”

  Eric Kohn, IndieWire · 91

• “Never afraid to show off its bloody fangs, yet careful to cut beyond the skin before its savage, stirring final strike, It Comes At Night is a remarkable, terror-filled invasion.”
