When I left my screening of Trey Edward Shults’ It Comes at Night, I could feel my whole body shaking - from the moment I got up from my theater seat, through the entire ride home, until I went to sleep a couple hours later. Described as a post-apocalyptic horror film, the truly astonishing feat of It Comes at Night is that while none of it necessarily scared me like The Witch or The Conjuring did, its images still managed to stay imprinted on the insides of my eyelids, ready for me to revisit whenever I closed my eyes. It Comes at Night left me haunted on a very human level.
The movie fulfills the promise of Shults’ last outing, Krisha, a micro-budget drama set within a claustrophobic environment, that was also about the tension threatening to tear a family apart from from each other. But unlike Krisha, Shults translates that similar kind of story into a film that feels more like a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller crossed with a paranoid horror story about monsters lurking in the woods. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to either genre, but it combines the two to devastating effect, with a dreamlike narrative and style that lets its tone and paranoia seep into you long before the film’s plot even sets itself into motion.
