positive · AI labelView post →Riley Keough - 📽️ It Comes at Night (Trey Edward Shults, 2017) As a horror-mystery, Shults’ movie was wildly divisive. But most people would agree the cast is one of its top strengths. The always immersed Keough is best in show, and her tense talk with Kelvin Harrison Jr. is the film’s high point.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've come around on It Comes At Night. I still don't think it was the movie it advertised, it's still a very good movie. I think I just needed to get over the discord. But that's what happens when you market in the A24 unmarketable market. #FrightClub
positive · AI labelView post →It Comes at Night (2017) Anyone familiar with this dark film that stars Joel Edgerton? My guests to discuss that film year next season: Matthew Anderson and Saleah Blancaflor #movies #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Just remembered the movie IT COMES AT NIGHT, which means I also remembered the best thing about it: a one-star Letterboxd review that read simply “no it fucking doesnt”.
positive · AI labelView post →im watching It Comes at Night for the first time. what the fuck is this movie oh my god
neutral · AI labelView post →#100HorrorMoviesIn92Days number 107. #Hooptober post-apocalyptic film 2 of 2. A surprisingly good double feature with It Comes At Night.
positive · AI labelView post →Not a lot of movie watching this week. It’s been interesting. Finally getting to this one. #100HorrorMoviesin92Days 74/100 It Comes at Night (2017)
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the ambiguous ending of It Comes At Night! We are going to be recording an #podcast episode on the film soon. How do you interpret the ending? And what would you rate the film overall? Comment and maybe we'll share your answer in an episode!! #filmsky #horrorsky #horrormovie
positive · AI labelView post →Now Watching: It Comes At Night I'm in the mood for forest horror/suspense. I haven't seen this movie since it was in theaters. I really enjoyed this movie and it gave me my first ever twitter troll.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve just been reminded of the ‘horror film’ IT COMES AT NIGHT which critics called ‘the scariest film ever made’ and when I saw it many years ago I thought it was one of the most boring things I’d ever seen! The whole film I thought there’d be a creature or something but no, there was nothing!
negative · AI labelView post →I did not like It Comes At Night. Boring, redundant, other movies have done what this one does to much higher success. It's a delve into the psychology of trust between two families that find each other during a crisis event, but it's so short and predictable it's not even worth a full length film
negative · AI labelView post →One of my favorite horror movies: It Comes At Night The film is ultimately quiet and slow - and it gave me an appreciation for that slow moving emotionally crushing kind of story.
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching: It Comes at Night (2017). Following up on another horror movie recommendation
neutral · AI labelView post →I would chuck in an honourable mention here for It Comes At Night, for psychological horror: not a tremendous movie and definitely not a fun one but it was absolutely the most unsettling, creepy and bleak movie I’ve seen in the cinema.
neutral · AI labelView post →Plan a horror fest using only your first name. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Rosemary's Baby It Comes At Night Midsommar Skinamarink Obsession Nope (S was perhaps the most I struggled trying to pick ONE film omg)
neutral · AI labelView post →i love deceptive marketing for horror movies lol. "The Woods"? Blair Witch sequel. "It Comes At Night"? Nothing comes. (amazing film btw) "The Mummy"? Actually Evil Dead.
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite film for each year of the 21st century. 2017: It Comes at Night #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Watching It Comes at Night, cannot believe this movie is pre-Covid. Extreme lockdown vibes.
neutral · AI labelView post →October 7th #31daysofhorror Today’s film is #ItComesAtNight This one is available on HBO Max. Review in the comments. Also… That’s what she said
neutral · AI labelView post →Guess I needed some more horror in my life so I watched It Comes At Night. For a movie released in 2017 it sure captured the isolation and distrust and fear of Covid. Cannot recommend, sadly, because they killed the dog.
negative · AI labelView post →It Comes at Night isn't one of my favorites but I love that it's this kind of film. The aspect ratio gets tighter as the film goes on, pushing the audience away from intruding on the family. I haven't seen it since theaters, should probably rewatch.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Black Phillip Friday! Fun fact: Charlie, the goat who played Black Phillip, was so unruly that he actually hurt Ralph Ineson. Truly committed to the role! 🐐 He only appeared in one other film - It Comes at Night (2017), also from A24. #BlackFriday #TheWitch screenrant.com/witch-movie-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie #81 It Comes at Night (2017) As a mysterious disease decimated the population, 2 untrusting families try to work together. Not bad. The title is a bit odd, as it has nothing to really do with the movie. But it's interesting, good performances, & definitely gut wrenching.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie #18: Trey Edward Shults' #ItComesAtNight: This is a damn effective deep seated type of horror drama, that while not flawless, still shines through performances and atmosphere, and sure as shit didn't deserve it's D on Cinemascore. My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished "It Comes at Night", what a FANTASTIC horror movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Next up for "Domestic Dysfunction" day, my first rewatch of a new favorite I discovered last year that honestly blew my mind when I saw it, IT COMES AT NIGHT. Really interested to see how it hits on rewatch. #VundaHalloweenathon #31DayHorrorChallenge #31DaysofHorror #MutantFam #Filmsky #Moviesky 🎥👻🎬

neutral · AI labelView post →Wife and I just watched It Comes At Night. Good movie, bad horror movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I hear you. I love It Comes At Night and I am always legitimately surprised by how many people dislike the movie. It's probably the first time I have ever felt so isolated in my appreciation for a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →IT COMES AT NIGHT is one of those movies where I feel like the only person in the world that thinks that movie is a flat out masterpiece. Thematically the questions and critiques it poses about human nature combined with the incredible humanness of the film itself, especially in act 2 UGH 🤌
positive · AI labelView post →I think part of my disappointment with the movie Lamb was the way it was advertised, but It Comes At Night was also poorly advertised. Lamb just sucked. The pacing was horrendous.
neutral · AI labelView post →I left the theater fuming after IT COMES AT NIGHT, but I don't think that's a terrible movie. The way it was marketed was really misleading, and I was not in the right head space for the film it turned out to be.
neutral · AI labelView post →#TheDeathofRobinHood Trailer: Jackman looks like he's really acting the hell out of the movie, but I am not so sure if I'm too keen on an overtly cynical take on the tale... unless A24 pulling another It Comes At Night, and hiding it being being a more nuanced movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Short of a film doing it for artistic reasons, like Hunger Games 2, It Comes At Night, Oz the Great and Powerful, or Grand Budapest Hotel, changing the AR of a film comes across as amateurish and disorganized. Same for frame rate. Spider-verse did it artistically with good reason. But this?
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what is a dreadful movie to watch? It Comes At Night. Bleak shit.
negative · AI labelView post →This might not quite be what you mean but I really loved the film It Comes At Night. Post-apocalyptic movie about two families feuding but there's Something out there too, its just never seen

neutral · AI labelView post →Day 5- It Comes At Night (2017) I should've loved this movie, but the characters were kinda generic. I've seen these exact dynamics in a dozen post apocalyptic settings. But the acting and cinematography elevates film a good bit, along with an absolutely harrowing ending that left me speechless.
neutral · AI labelView post →“It Comes at Night” is a film I think people intentionally misunderstand because it’s not a monster movie
neutral · AI labelView post →19. It Comes at Night. Truly love a contagion film in which the villains are paranoia, grief, and isolation. Something something COVID something.
positive · AI labelView post →#5SecondReview: It Comes At Night An intense A24 psychological thriller about two families trying to coexist in a plague-ridden apocalypse. Ending is a bit artsy and took a bit of figuring out (clues come throughout the film), but I think I got there in the end.
positive · AI labelView post →It Comes at Night is a good movie, but it has the worst title ever. What comes at night?! It's a movie about a disease! Nothing comes at night!
neutral · AI labelView post →I would watch a horror movie of that dream! once I had a dream that was blatantly just my brain trying to improve on the movie It Comes At Night
neutral · AI labelView post →Halloween is one of my favorites ever. It Comes at Night, watched it once, it was a tense movie, not something I'd watch again. The Blob, I remember watching it when I was a child, I'm more familiar with the 80s version.
neutral · AI labelView post →‘It Comes At Night’ is such a banger title - the actual film on the other hand…
negative · AI labelView post →Was it, "It Comes At Night?" Only film I've ever been to when after the lights went up a segment of the audience went to the desk and asked for their money back. They got it, too.
negative · AI labelView post →Spree is such a good film. Impressive in how un-nerving it is. It Comes at Night is really good too.
positive · AI labelView post →using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films. my picks: M - Monkey Man (2024) O - Once Upon A Time In Mexico (2003) V - V For Vendetta (2005) I - It Comes At Night (2017) E - Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay so I just watched It Comes At Night and I’m so fucking confused. I either missed something or this was the most boring ass movie
negative · AI labelView post →It Comes at Night is a misunderstood great movie that should be appreciated more. I know it not for everyone, in the post pandemic world, it works well from the direction, cast, tension, themes, cinematography, editing, production design, and tone that makes this movie. 8/10.
