Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
clairekammenzind But.. I still don't know what comes at night. That really of bothers me, considering it's the title of the film. I know it's labeled a mystery/horror, but it left a bit too much mystery. I would like to have known if the whole family was actually sick before Paul killed them or just the kid? And I kind of wanted to see the sick kid.. even if that's a little macabre. The ending was a little bit of a let down as well with them just sickly, staring blankly at one another; but there you have it. I honestly really dug the movie and would've given it a higher rating if it wasn't for my exigent need to know what comes at night.
Mario Dati (ThePiousPatriot) Terrible movie. Absolutely nothing happens, and absolutely nothing comes at night, in the morning, for dinner. Nothing..... Just nothing.
micheline-470-569696 Unlike other people I love onions. On pizza, in salads, with salmon and horseradish and many more. And I love surprises. Especially in movies. However, if it looks like a candy apple and is classified as a candy apple... I want it to taste like candy apple. I don't like onions as a surprise. You do neither? Don't expect this movie to be candy apple that its trailer promised.You know, allt hrough the movie I thought I had figured out the "secret hints" at a plot twist I was confident that one of my speculations would turn out to be correct... like......everything was just Travis' (the son's) hallucinations while being terribly sick... or ...Will and Kim (the visitors) had sinister intentions/ a dark secret/ a troubled past which would be unravelled by someone of the family (Paul/ Sarah/ Travis)... or ...Will and Kim were just stool pigeons and there were going to be more people out there in the woods coming after the family's belongings and supplies... or ...Andrew had been kidnapped by Will and Kim (hence his sleepwalk and Kim's strange reaction to it) and they tried to hide that he wasn't their son... or ...It's all about Paul's schizophrenic paranoia and its impact on all his family, the whole virus-apocalypse thing never actually happened - or at least not to that zombie-like extent... or ...Travis or his mom would wreak havoc after Paul killed Andrew... or ...the "thing that comes at night" had nothing to do at all with a virus but with human's evolution... ...but... in the end...NOTHING.I loved the cast and their performances. The plot was something we've heard of sooo many times already... but could have become a new and different approach to the virus topic thing - which honestly would have been awesome!The movie builds up suspense to an extent I haven't been experiencing for a long time. And I love that it is playing with the viewers munds and imagination rather than overuse cheap shock moments with exaggerated sound effects every few minutes. I also don't mind endings that aren't actually endings, I like finals that leave you with questions and lead to discussions.However, in this movie all the suspense, the presumptions, alleged innuendos and questions blow up during the whole movie only to eventually erupt into a dissapointing unsatisfying ending.To those who claim it's an allegory on humanity or today's society or whatever: I can understand that point of view too. I also like movies with some deeper meaning. However, does this mean a lack of logic and omitting any answers and explanations are requirements for a movie with superior importance nowadays? And does this mean that all the people who gave bad reviews lack profoundness? Just because they expected something else from a movie that's considered to be a horror movie? I don't think so. I'm a fan of a clever, thought-provoking plot that goes beyond the usual shocker flick. This wasn't one of them. This was a wannabe philosophical mystery something that makes me ask why they would call it "horror" movie in the first place? If you don't know how to connect pensiveness and fright, at least don't classify it into such a strong genre like horror (with a heavy with meaning title) and make the viewers expect something that never really happens.
paulclaassen Despite the title sounding very sinister, the film is anything but what it implies. Too little information is given about the 'disease' and the rest of the world. The absence of CGI is refreshing, though, and makes it that much more realistic. Great character bonding, too.But what comes at night? The sick? The sickness? What? Nothing came at night...
