Twitter is trying to figure out whether this is the scariest movie of 2017 or not
If you’re feeling like the actual world is a scary place right now, maybe you’re interested in some escapism through movies. If that’s the case, you might want to steer clear of It Comes At Night, a horror film that’s brought out some intense debate on Twitter — because, of course!
There are so many mixed, but very strong, feelings about the film. From being terrified and shocked to saying it’s the worst movie ever, this film seems to be pretty divisive. Here’s a quick summary of what it’s about:
"Secure within a desolate home with his vigilant, protective, and heavily armed parents (Joel Edgerton and Carmen Ejogo), 17-year-old Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) navigates fear, grief, and paranoia amid scarce resources as a desperate young couple (Christopher Abbott and Riley Keough) seeks refuge in his family home with their young child."
Ok, so now let’s check in on the very intense Twitter discussions about the film because no one can seem to agree on anything. Some people seem to think it’s a great horror film… false
It Comes at Night is a masterclass in tension and paranoia. A haunting but brilliant experience. Thank you Trey Edward Shults…. #Film

I saw this last night. It comes at Night takes risks and delivers a slow burn horror experience I will never forget. Easily 10 out of 10. https://t.co/46CVZq6j11

…while others feel almost exactly the opposite and aren’t afraid to tell everyone about it. false
Wow…
It Comes at Night SUCKS.
A dramatically inert, thematically thin, suspense-free, perfunctory movie.
The Mummy is better.
Wow…

Word of advice to anyone wanting to see a scary movie, do not go and see it comes at night. Piss poor excuse for a movie. Horrible ending.

It comes at night was the worst movie I've ever seen, and it was not scary whatsoever.

So the reviews are…mixed. If you’re intrigued, watch the trailer (if you dare).
