There’s suspense baked right into the title of It Comes At Night, the upcoming feature from Trey Edward Shults, director of last year’s self-assured debut Krisha.
The general public will get a clue as to the true nature of It Comes At Night on June 9 (this film counts as Shults’ personal birthday present to me, just a fun fact), but curious parties can try to glean hints from the new poster below as well.
At least we recognize Joel Edgerton but what’s been made abundantly clear is that Shults has cooked up something distinctive and terrifying even in miniature.
The trailer plays details of plot and character pretty close to the vest, privileging mood and tone to create an atmosphere of terror instead.
