It Comes at Night

Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic corner of a near-future America, a father has established a fragile domestic peace with his wife and teenage son, living in a cabin in the woods. They are shutting themselves away from the outside world due to a highly infectious disease that has plagued humans. When an intruder breaks into the property, the father captures him and ties him up, worried he may be carrying the disease. Instead, he is just looking for food and shelter for his own family, and the two groups form an uneasy alliance, until things get really unsettling. This tense, claustrophobic thriller is influenced by classic zombie films and is a compelling calling card for a distinctive new director in American film.
