Ah independent horrors, you could get an outstanding cult hit or a dud, It Comes At Night is in the cult hit area, directed by Trey Edward Schulz director of a little independent movie known as Krisha (which by the way is an outstanding movie)

The marketing for this film was minimal no one and I mean no one had a clue what this was going to be about, the teaser didn’t provide us with anything https://youtu.be/tNE8oUtDaWk you can check that out here, then the movie hit us with an official trailer, which again didn’t provide us with anything. Then we got the film, what starts off as an isolated claustrophobic horror quickly descends in to a 28 days later esque type movie which is amazing, the film has a few jump scares and the plot is easy to follow, a few strangers end up secluded in a cabin in the woods only to become infected with an unknown virus, think Cabin Fever if Eli Roth didn’t add the gore and disgusting parts.

For a film that is relatively unknown it quickly shows that it can become a big independent horror flick, however A24 have only gone and released another small independent horror film… okay it’s more of a romantic horror without all the jump scares, A Ghost Story it’s titled, just watch the trailer and decide for yourselves because this film will be an acquired taste I guarantee it.

Any I’m digressing quite a bit, It Comes At Night is an amazing horror that you need to see final score 10/10 it’s dark it’s creepy it’s an amazing film all round definitely check this one out but until next time catch you later
