The horror genre appears to be healthier than ever, and 2017 has plenty of scary movies to look forward to. And it’s the independent/arthouse fright flicks that are increasingly providing some of the best big screen terror out there, which is why “It Comes At Night” is one we can’t wait to see.
“Krisha” director Trey Edward Shults is behind the camera for this one, which stars a pretty great cast in Joel Edgerton, Riley Keough, Christopher Abbott, and Carmen Ejogo, about a man protecting his family from an evil outside his door. Here’s the official synopsis:
Imagine the end of the world— Now imagine something worse.
Award-winning filmmaker Trey Edward Shults follows his incredible debut feature Krisha with It Comes At Night, a horror film following a man (Joel Edgerton) as he is learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within.
Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, the tenuous domestic order he has established with his wife and son is put to the ultimate test with the arrival of a desperate young family seeking refuge.
Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul.
“It Comes At Night” opens on August 25th.
