In the film, Girls star Christopher Abbott is relieved to find safe haven in the forests of Woodstock, NY when he comes across survivalist Joel Edgerton. Very quickly he learns that his family are in more danger than ever before.

After the film's recent screening at Oregon's Overlook Film Festival over the weekend, Edgerton described the horror movie as an allegory for the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment across the globe.

"For me, the film is about refugees and immigration and otherness," Edgerton said (via Entertainment Weekly). "I thought that was really interesting to explore in the horror realm."

It remains to be seen whether It Comes At Night will scare up a mass audience like other surprise horror hits The Babadook, The Witch or Get Out, but the first reviews are definitely encouraging:

"It Comes At Night has solidified director Trey Edward Shults as a major genre figure, and given A24 another masterpiece to tout. It's as self-assured and personal a piece of horror as you've seen in a long time, and the kind of exciting film you attend film festivals to see in the first place."

Uproxx:

"The film, like its director, offers no answers, nor does it need to. It's an unnerving, masterful piece of horror filmmaking, creating a sense of suspense about what's out in the woods and when and if it will come for Paul (Joel Edgerton) and the others. But it's the way it explores how its characters prepare to face what's in the dark that makes it hit home."
