A haunting apocalyptic horror lurks in the shadows of streaming

Get the Full StoryYou may think you ve seen every variation of the post-apocalyptic horror genre under the sun, and there s a distinct chance that sentiment isn t too far wide of the mark, but It Comes at Night managed to put an eerily atmospheric and unflinching fresh coat of paint on a premise that s becoming increasingly harder to reinvent.

What makes it even more impressive is that writer and director Trey Edward Shults was only 28 years old when his second feature released to rave reviews in June 2017, where it would go on to earn 20 million at the box office on a budget of under 5 million, notching an 87 percent Rotten Tomatoes score in the process.
