It Comes at Night

It Comes at Night (2017)
Starring Joel Edgerton, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbott, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., and Riley Keough
Directed by Trey Edward Shults
Written by Trey Edward Shults
***This film is currently streaming via Amazon Prime***

Summary (in 500 words or less):  A contagious outbreak has seemingly wreaked havoc across the United States.  Paul (Joel Edgerton), his wife Sarah (Carmen Ejogo), and their teenage son Travis (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.) have holed themselves up in a secluded house in the woods, venturing outside only when absolutely necessary.  When a stranger (Christopher Abbott) attempts to enter their house, Paul immediately doubts his intentions, but he eventually is won over and invites the stranger's wife (Riley Keough) and young son to stay with them.  Unfortunately, this kind gesture may end up being something Paul and Sarah will regret.



The RyMickey Rating: C
