Critics Consensus

It Comes at Night makes lethally effective use of its bare-bones trappings while proving once again that what's left unseen can be just as horrifying as anything on the screen.

It Comes at Night is a powerful, slow-burning horror, a distressing and nihilistic examination of human nature that lingers in the mind long after the shocking denouement.

The movie has its flaws. But one of Shults's main triumphs is to get us to believe in the danger of the outside world as fiercely as his characters do.

Shults's adoption of a more vicious mode sharpens his already discomfiting take on families in states of extreme duress in his debut feature Krisha.

"It Comes at Night" is tightly comprised of excruciating moral challenges that escalate with time.

Writer/director Trey Edward Shults builds so much tension with such vague storytelling, and I loved every bit of the ambiguity and metaphorical message it provides.

Slow moving, but probably realistic for an apocalypse. I feel like the title was misleading, so it was a bit of a let down from my expectations.

What horror? There is nothing horrifying in this movie. The title is misleading as well- there is nothing that comes out at night to haunt or hunt this family of 3. Just a mild thriller show at best.
