When me and my girlfriend sat down to watch this we were very excited. As we had good things about this movie. All I can say without spoiling it, nothing really happens and was a waste of an hour and a half. Plus its honestly just artsy rubbish.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Short answer: This is the worst good movie ever.

The performances were really good. The cinematography was really good. The setting was believable, and with the movie being only an hour and thirty minutes, the story carried itself efficiently without ever feeling like it dragged on. All these elements should make for a quality film, right?

Hell no.

Let's get one thing out of the way first-this movie was so mis-advertised that it makes you sick. You walk in expecting a horror movie and you get a psychological thriller. But even if you somehow were expecting a psychological thriller, it STILL doesn't deliver based upon all the glaring plotholes and dead-end twists leading to nothing. Stupid stuff happens left and right, like introducing a love triangle into the story but it going absolutely nowhere. The idea of actual monsters is flirted with but leads to nothing. A supernatural 3rd party is tossed in for mystery but nothing comes of that either. For christ's sake, they don't even explain why they don't go out at night. The film's most frustrating element is definitely the ending, not so much because of how it ends, but because of the other countless number of ways it could have that would have been much more interesting. It sets itself up perfectly for all sorts of horrifying scenarios but does absolutely nothing with them in the name of retaining this artsy, psychological horror vibe and hoping the audience will be pretentious enough to worship it's blue-balls inducing conclusion.… Expand

Just like many of you, I came here before going to see this movie. And was excited to see that it had high reviews. Let me be the first to tell you, THIS MOVIE IS A JOKE!!!! The entire audience after the film ended ubruptly with no explanation, started booing and complaining about how awful it was. The trailer is blatantly false advertising a storyline that is not present in the actual movie. To be quite frank, there is no plot to the movie at all. I kid you not, don't even waste your time with this film. Anyone saying "it's creative" is clearly disillusioned by a low budget film with a lazy director that even stated that he had to scrap his initial ending because screeners said that one was too confusing. It's a joke. Save your money people.… Expand

I have used Metacritic reviews for the past several years to pick what movies I want to go see. This movie was rated high by the professionals, but it is a waste of money. It is dark, anticlimactic and overall a disappointment.

Seriously one of the worst horror movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Think like The Village meets The Happening, but it somehow manages to be worse than both of those movies.

It doesn’t know what it’s doing and this is clear from the very beginning. I started off the movie with questions, but I figured along the way or at least by the end they’d be answered, but nope, never were, all I got along the way were more questions. It doesn’t know what genre it wants to be. As the title and trailer imply, this is supposed to be a horror film, but it never feels like it. I get it, horror is kinda a misunderstood genre and some of them may not be scary but this in no way ever feels even remotely horror. My sister described it as a “pilgrim western.” While that descrip is kinda funny, I have to say I kinda agree. The characters have no development so therefore we’re left with no choice but to not care for any of the characters here or whether or not they live or die. To me this is the main flaw here because a movie focusing on characters must have good character development! Instead they’re one-dimensional, unrelatable, and you feel distant from them. I guess it’s all just because this is a film equivalent of a flatline. There’s no beginning or end to the film, it’s just a constant hum til the end. You can see the ending coming from a mile away from the dream sequences. Idk. I can’t really recommend this. It’s worse than most b-grade horror movies (because they at least add in unintentional humor). It’s also among my least favorite movies ever made.

Just a lot of nothing happens here and it’s nothing but a boring waste of time and you leave knowing just as much as you did coming into the movie: nothing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen . And I am an extremely kind critic. I know the effort that the actors, and crew go through to make a film so I keep that in mind with any criticism I level at them. This movie is a "0/10" in my opinion due to the horrible writing. The actors did very well with what they were given but the story line was so empty and way too mysterious to make any sense. We have no idea what the disease was or it's origin. We don't know what's happening in the rest of America or the world. We don't have any context to root the events in the movie. We can reasonably assume it's in America in a rural town but that's it. In an attempt to set up a mystery, the writers completely destroyed any hope of the audience understanding what was going on (not that there was much to understand). At the end of the movie, everyone at the matinee I was at was saying "WTF" out loud at the end. Also, the cheap attempt at shock when the child is shot felt completely devoid of meaning. It just felt crude and empty. Have I used the word "empty" enough in this review? Jesus Christ, stay away from this movie !
A24 is stating to build a reputation for marketing horrible films.… Expand

Movie description in a nutshell. This is not a horror movie, basically it's not even a real movie. It's more like a rambling author. So very disappointing. No rising action, climax, or falling action, which equals no story.

I was not expecting a scare jump movie, however it does not even have a complete story! The acting is good. However, nobody give those character a **** by the end of the movie: they are who they are at the very beginning, and no character development. Lots of random hints threw to the audience and when audience thought the explanation is coming, it ends. Most Reviewer said: hey this is good, audience felt bad because the environment they created for the movie actually make they felt bad. No it is no like that, audience felt bad because all the hints they think will comes to a conclusion does not, so they felt bad because they thought they are being twisted and fooled like a joke.

It appears now days if we made a movie complete non-sense, describing some Psychological behaviors with human in some small tiny can. It is a guaranteed success. Oh god, American, are we in 1980s? A big Fat 0.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Film about a family in a post-apocalyptic time where a disease has decimated the population....maybe.... blah blah blah and their experience after meeting up with another family .
Extremely grim.
It starts out decently and ramps up your expectations for awhile but then doesn't go anywhere at all really.
It's pretty short,under an hour and a half and it just abruptly ends like they ran out of financing.
It's supposed to be artsy slice of life social commentary in a Lord of the Flies way i suppose but
isn't satisfying in that respect either.
It has creepy bits but then the payoffs for these bits are something just pedestrian.
There's no mysticism at all even though they try to trick you into thinking there might be using one character's dreams.
You never find out what the disease is or see a wider view of than this little 1 house microcosm where the action occurs.
I don't watch the shows but i assume this is what the Walking Dead must be like only without the dead and shot in only 2 rooms.
Sad film.… Expand

Around the halfway point things go downhill, all the way down to an ending that left the entire movie theater audibly upset. When they flashed to credits, there was a chorus of "what?!" "really?!" "are you kidding me?!". Some people even wanted their money back. It seems the creators didn't know what they wanted to say for the second half, and used their money to pay off movie critics instead of make the movie better. It seems that they thought they could pull something off, which could've been done well by other creators admittedly, but they were simply not good enough to do it.… Expand

Viene de Noche (2017)

Sinopsis: Dos familias se alían para combatir contra una presencia maligna que los asedia desde el exterior de la vivienda después de que un misterioso apocalipsis ha diezmado a la población mundial. Opinión:Viene de Noche (2017)

Sinopsis:

Dos familias se alían para combatir contra una presencia maligna que los asedia desde el exterior de la vivienda después de que un misterioso apocalipsis ha diezmado a la población mundial.

Opinión:

Sinceramente me tomó 3 intentos ver esta película sin quedarme dormido, la primera media hora se ve prometedora, pero pasan y pasan los minutos y nunca llega a ocurrir algo, no hay nada, absolutamente nada, aquí se promete mucho y nada se cumple, no hay tensión ni presión psicológica, solo son dos familias tratando de vivir en un mundo que fue asediado y diezmado por una especie de virus, pero no, no hay nada paranormal ni criminal ni científico.

Lo único que viene de noche es la hora de dormir para las personas como yo, y para otros sería la hora de irse de fiesta.

Si padeces de insomnio, esta película es mejor que media dosis de Diazepam.

Valoración:

1.5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐… Expand

One of the first rules that a great movie must have is a universe where it follows its own rules. The viewer has to know these rules and they have to be consistent. This movie failed in this regard and that is why the movie failed. The best way to understand this is to take a great movie and dissect it with this rule in mind. The Sixth Sense is a Great movie. It sets up a universe with a rule, gives you hints throughout, and stays true to its rule. It Comes at Night fails because it never sets up the rules about the universe the characters live in. For example, can we know something more about the disease, how you catch it, how you know someone is sick, can the door be unlocked from the inside without the key, etc. Without the rules and more logical and consistent clues, the movie does not really come together where the movie goer can figure things out. It falls flat and is inconsistent and incoherent. If everyone has diff theories about what really happened in the movie it is not a good thing. Its okay for people to have a different idea about what a movie meant, but people should be given a fair chance to figure a movie out. Again the Sixth Sense is a great example of the movie maker getting it right.… Expand
