In theaters everywhere on June 9, 2017, is A24’s It Comes At Night, in which Joel Edgerton plays a man who learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within.
We have two clips from the film, both pushing in on the paranoia and unsettling nature of the film. In one, Edgerton welcomes a family, while one of the kids hides his face in foreboding fear, while the other gives us a glimpse at a “cute” conversation about sweets that turns uncomfortably sexy.
“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.”
Riley Keough, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbot, and Kelvin Harrison, Jr., also star.
The infectious fervor is spreading after the world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival, which held a secret screening of Trey Edward Shults’ film. Out very own Kalyn Corrigan was on hand, raving in her review, calling it a “haunting post-apocalyptic fever dream.”
