It Comes At Night | Ratings & Reviews

"Edgerton gives another masterly minimalist performance, and Ejogo and Harrison are preternaturally alert."

VultureVulture

"The movie is a close-quarters psychological thriller built artfully and honestly, from the ground up, with more of a nod to early John Carpenter than mid-period Danny Boyle."

VarietyVariety

"Trey Edward Shults's nerve-shredding domestic thriller joins the rarified company of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel The Road and the handful of intimate post-apocalyptic scenarios that puncture through to our deepest fears."

Time OutTime Out

"This modest science-fiction thriller brings the hands-on vigour of independent filmmaking to a high-concept premise, but the results are insubstantial and impersonal."

The New YorkerThe New Yorker

"Mr. Shults doesn't jolt the audience with false scares or showy plot twists. He builds up the dread with ruthless efficiency and minimal gimmickry, relying on and refreshing some of the oldest techniques in the book."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"As he did in "Krisha," Shults avoids the conventional trap of exposition, relying instead on his striking command of the medium to evoke the inner life of a family under extraordinarily bleak circumstances."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"The film confirms that Shults, working again with DP Drew Daniels, has a sure and fluent grasp of cinematic storytelling, his stripped-down narrative pulsing with dread and emotion."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A slow-burn family drama with thriller moments and a tone more in keeping with apocalyptic feel-bad flick, The Road."
