I feel compelled to write this review after reading some of the others posted here.
There are a lot of people that were expecting one film, but ended up seeing something completely different.
The trailer is the main problem here, it sells the film as monster film. Indeed the films title 'It Comes At Night' certainly implies that there is an 'It' that comes. Rather, the 'It' should be better understood as doubt and fear as, for most of at least, night time is when you have the time to dwell on things said during the day.
I really enjoyed this film. Everything about this film gave me a real sense of paranoia towards the characters. I really wasn't sure what was going to happen. The acting from all was superb, and the use of sound was, at some times, really frightening.
Don't go to see this film though if you are expecting an out and out monster movie as you will be very disappointed. But if you want to see a well acted film that draws you in, keeps you hooked and stays with you after you have walked out, go to watch this.
