The plot of It Comes at Night is reminiscent with her post-apocalyptic theme quickly to a series like The Walking Dead. Trey Edward Shults’ fantastic film about a mysterious plague or disease couldn’t be further from brutal zombie action.
The horror masterpiece, which you can watch today in the late program of Tele 5 at 00:00, is above all a genre reference deeply haunting drama about the moments when we suddenly can’t even trust our closest family anymore.
It Comes at Night blends nightmarish horror and intense drama
In the story of the film, a kind of plague has spread through the world that turns the sick into a kind of zombies. To protect himself and his family, family man Paul (Joel Edgerton) has teamed up with his wife Sarah (Carmen Ejogo) and son Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) retired to a cabin in the woods. One day, when the young couple Kim (Riley Keough) and Will (Christopher Abbott) show up with their young son, their trust in one another is put to the test.

The only problem with It Comes at Night is actually the trailer, which gives a rather misleading impression of the film in advance. Don’t expect zombies or monsters. Instead, stands above all Feeling of oppressive paranoiawhich slowly drives the characters insane.
Next to surreal nightmare sequences It Comes at Night unleashes the ultimate form of horror, where far from insane serial killers, monsters, ghosts or any other being, humanity is damned because it is thrown back on nothing but itself.
Until the film at one unforgettably harrowing climax arrives, director Trey Edward Shults paints the picture of a hell that the characters have created themselves and where even those you actually love can cause their own death. There is hardly a worse idea.
