I'm a huge slowburn fan, I watched Hereditary 3 times, Midsommar 2 times, and a bunch of others. I was very excited when I heard of his film, although i'll admit I hyped it up a but too much. I think the main reason this movie was hated was that it was mismarketed, meaning people went into the film expecting some epic and tense new horror, and got a slow, apocalyptic instead. But I feel like nobody is actually critiquing the film for what it is, they are only giving the film a bad review because of what it isn't is. what I mean by that is all of the one star reviews never bring up qualities of the film, like it's acting. The only real complaint about this film I have seen people write is that it wasn't what they wanted, and that it hadn't lived up to the hype. So i'll try my best not to write a review not complaining how it "wasn't as the trailer made it look" and actually list my negatives nd positives, let's begin. I thought the film was superbly acted, brilliant performances all around, mainly carrying the movie. It was a joy to watch the actors give it their all. I thought the film mainly succeeded in it's slowburn style and I was still failry gripped throughout, although some parts not so much as the film did decide to drag them on a fair bit. Some of my negatives may be it's ending, like I know, arthouse films are like that. But I feel like they could've made it a bit less ambiguous, without spoiling the story, but still making the viewer guess instead of them going "ugh that ending makes no sense", so quite a big negative there. But you get the idea so i'll write my verdict and grade Verdict: While it may be too slow at parts, It Comes At Night maintains suspense and has some powerhouse performances, worth watching for A24 fans. Grade: B
