Description
In this episode we are covering It Comes at Night (2017), a psychological horror film written and directed by Trey Edward Shults. Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly disease, the story follows Paul (Joel Edgerton), his wife Sarah (Carmen Ejogo), and their son Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) as they isolate themselves in a remote house to avoid infection. Their fragile sense of security is disrupted when another family seeks refuge, leading to escalating tension and mistrust.
We explore the film’s themes of fear, grief, and the breakdown of trust, highlighting its atmospheric tension and strong performances. The narrative’s ambiguity and focus on internal horrors over external threats have sparked diverse reactions, with some praising its cerebral approach and others critiquing its lack of clear resolution.
Join us as we dissect It Comes at Night, examining how it subverts traditional horror tropes to deliver a haunting exploration of human nature under duress.
