‘It Comes at Night’ Gets More Plot Details and New Images
Sorry for the nightmares the above image may cause. You can see it again below!
We’ve been mighty curious about A24’s Trey Edward Shults-directed horror film It Comes at Night ever since the eerie teaser dropped back in February; for the last couple months, plot details have been so scant that we really had no idea what to expect. But EW just got the scoop on some more details today that clarify the plot, along with a couple brand spankin’ new images.
The site notes that the film, starring Joel Edgerton, will center on “a civilization-destroying pandemic,” with the main characters (a father, mother and teenage son) holed up in a remote house in the woods. “When an intruder arrives, pleading for help, they are forced to choose between kindness and potential infection. And this is one killer sickness.”
Makeup artist Jessie Eden told the site that real life illnesses such as the Bubonic plague and the Ebola virus were used as reference for the fictional contagion, which is particularly nasty.
But it’s not all about gross-out visuals. Edgerton promised that It Comes at Night will be an intelligent horror film, rather than what he referred to as “blood porn.”
Check out the new images below!
In the film…
A man (Edgerton) 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.
Riley Keough, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbot, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. also star.

Criterion’s Complete Kubrick Box Set Will Include Kubrick’s International Version of ‘The Shining’
Criterion Collection has announced the upcoming release of The Complete Kubrick Box Set, a 4K + Blu-ray collection that features EVERY SINGLE MOVIE KUBRICK DIRECTED.
“Tracing his evolution from independent maverick to Hollywood rebel to visionary transnational auteur whose every film from the mid-1960s on became a manifesto of a radically new sensibility,” Criterion previews, “The Complete Kubrick brings together the entirety of a body of work that opened popular cinema up to new realms of moral profundity and metaphysical mystery.”
Criterion continues, “Collected for the first time are Kubrick’s thirteen features and three shorts, all restored in 4K, with their original soundtracks alongside the 5.1 mixes, restored and remastered; over twenty-five hours of interviews, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes materials; and deluxe packaging illustrated with rare photographs, artwork, and documents annotated by Kubrick himself, all housed in a singular box inspired by the director’s legendary archive.”
Included in The Complete Kubrick is of course the 1980 horror masterpiece The Shining, but we’re getting more than just the version of the film we’re all deeply familiar with…
Kubrick’s international version of The Shining will also be included in the set, along with a new 4K restoration of Vivian Kubrick’s behind-the-scenes documentary!
The international version of The Shining was cut together by Kubrick for the film’s release outside the United States, and it’s a trimmed down version of the film that runs 115 minutes rather than the standard 144 minutes. Kubrick cut a full 29 minutes out of The Shining in the wake of the film’s U.S. release, and you can watch this video for a rundown of all the changes.
This version of the movie has been released on home video outside the United States, but Criterion’s Complete Kubrick set marks the first time it’s been available on U.S. home video.
The Complete Kubrick will release October 20, 2026. Pre-order yours today.
