It Comes At Night - in which a small family is trying to survive
after the apocalypse, and it is hard to make friends. Okay, first of
all, really scary. The husband and wife have a son, and there used to be
a grandfather the son could hang out with, but he got sick and died and
had to be burned. Horribly and sadly. So, they've got a nice, fortified
compound, but it gets broken into one night by some guy. The husband
ties the guy up to see if he's sick, and he isn't, so upon interrogation
the guy reveals that he has a wife and child a few miles away, and they
are out of water, but they have livestock to trade. He also says a few
suspicious things, but we let that slide because he does seem sincere on
some other points. So, the two men go to retrieve the wife and child,
leaving the wife and teenage son Travis at home with the dog. The
husbands get ambushed by guys with guns, and the guy hesitates to shoot
one of their attackers and then hesitates when asked if he knew them.
That's when I would have shot him. But, being nicer than me, the husband
goes and gets this guy's family and they all start to live together and
everything is not so horrible for a while. Then, while Travis and his
dad are out foraging, the dog runs away to attack something, and comes
home a few days later really sick. It is so sad. Travis is devastated,
as am I. Okay, then things continue to deteriorate from there, and the
little boy opens the quarantine door by accident/sleepwalking, and
Travis helps him back to bed before he realizes the entire story, so the
main character of the movie gets sick as well. Like, every night Travis
has been having these slow and nauseating nightmares, and sometimes he
gets sick in them, and its terrifying. So, the guy and his wife and
child try to leave, but they're definitely gonna come back when they
need stuff, so there is a fight and the sick child gets shot, but only
the mom is really upset about it, because I am mad at him for getting
Travis sick, and he was kinda dead already. Then Travis dies, and I
guess he gets to see his Grandpa and dog again in heaven, which will be
nice. They don't show any of that.
