Translated from swedish: Those who expect a classic horror film will likely head home disappointed with half their popcorn tub left on the theater floor. "It Comes at Night" is as stripped-down and unadorned as its soberly beautiful and eerie poster. It is elegant and controlled, but perhaps a bit tame.

Translated from swedish: "It Comes at Night" An all-encompassing frugality, with exposition as well as story and visual scare tactics, may disappoint those who expect horror in the traditional sense. But as a study of human nature under extreme conditions and a display of the greatest possible discomfort with the least possible means, this is a true thriller.

Translated from swedish: Shults has managed to create an almost complete, nerve-wracking story, which surprises with partly well-known details and components, but which is a well-crafted and well-thought-out psychological drama that you must not miss.

Translated from swedish: In the intricate family dynamics, Edgerton stands out as an overprotective and rather stern paternal figure - which was to be expected - as well as Ejogo who may appear somewhat more passive, but is no less focused as a mother. However, in the large ensemble, it is ultimately Harrison Jr. who impresses the most in his portrayal of Travis's teenage turmoil.

Translated from swedish: It's as if the film is ashamed of its own lack of originality and therefore sets up half-baked smoke signals to the right and left. This is most obvious in a clichéd, unoriginal script, where every scene feels like it was taken from a template in a screenwriting course, and the skilled but predictably monotonous and imaginatively bland acting.

Translated from swedish: Shultz works with an efficient and tight script, but perhaps it is too tight. It feels like some scenes are missing, and even though all the main characters feel well-developed, the film would have benefited from an extra half-hour of build-up scenes, or a few more scenes in the forest where the alleged disease is ravaging.

Translated from swedish: It is an incredibly well-made and thrilling nail-biter film with incredibly skilled actors, and it has something to say about what people can do when they have no choice.

Translated from swedish: "It Comes at Night" is not bad without monsters and wildly staring strangers, that's a plus. But it is also quite quickly forgotten.
