It Comes at Night | June 9, 2017 | A24 | Teaser in First Post

[CoolioD1]

oh what's this? another A24 film i'd like to see that, a week before its US opening, doesn't have a UK release date.

[baumer]

The last time critics jerked off over a horror movie I got the absolutely horrible babadook. I don't trust critics opinions at the best of times but even less for horror movies.

[baumer]

Now having said all that I really hope this movie is good. I won't be there more than likely opening weekend to see it.

funny enough, I still haven't seen the Babadook   if it shows up on my on demand or something, I may catch it.  Otherwise, it will just have to wait longer

[filmlover]

I feel like this should've stayed in its original late August spot where it would've stood more of a chance of standing out in the crowd.

I'll definitely let you know what I think whenever I get a chance to see it.  Just don't know when that would be  

[Hiccup23]

I am there opening weekend. The trailers have me hooked.

That's some ass-kicking trailers for a horror movie. The movie title and the poster are also brilliiant. But then it's easier for a horror movie trailers to receive good reactions. I do hope this could break out like Get Out.

[Hiccup23]

I don't think this is gonna be a mega break out like Get Out but I think it will surprise. I am seeing a $15-$20 million opening weekend.

 

$18M/58M

 

I think this will be the Shallows of 2017.

[JohnnyGossamer]

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Really excited, plan on seeing this sometime next weekend.

It was one of the best genre movies in recent years. I see a ton of pushback against it since people expected a horror and that movie doesn't work well as one. If you want an interesting story that decently smart on a low budget and then it's easier to appreciate.

 

Also yeah I assume you will hate this one too. It's not a typical horror.

Babadook isn't horror.  It's not scary, no one dies and no one is in peril.  Babadook is the kind of horror film that critics love and audiences give the finger to.

@baumer didn't you love IT FOLLOWS and GET OUT?

So, no one is in Peril, it's not scary, no one dies, not sure how this could even be labeled "horror"???? What about Thriller/Suspense???

 

Because critics have a very different understanding of horror than I do.

Do you consider Rosemary's Baby in the realm of horror? I've always felt that it's a pretty big umbrella for that genre. Only one person dies in Rosemary's Baby and she commits suicide and we only see the aftermath.

 

And, she does strange her dog to death in a fit a rage in Babadook. But, yeah, no one dies.
