It Comes at Night (2017)
The Monster Is Not Under The Bed. It Is In The Bed
The most terrifying monster is not out there, lurking in the darkness. That particular beast is hiding in the human heart. That monster is especially powerful at night, when a person is alone with his thoughts. The monster feeds on fear. It feeds on mistrust. The more it feeds, the stronger it becomes. A heart full of fear and anxiety will take command of the brain and make a person believe it is possible to escape death. What will a person not do to escape death when death comes calling? This is not a film for viewers seeking simple escape from reality. This film pushes the viewer's face deep into an ugly and inescapable reality. Reality is a scary place.
In these reviews, I've read complaints of "unanswered questions." I must disagree. All questions are answered; many, in the first scene. The viewer must be willing to pay attention to details in the photography and dialogue, remember, and analyze. I understand many people do not enjoy this kind of experience. This is their prerogative and it is not my privilege to judge. I will say that this is the reason Stephen King makes more money than Cormac McCarthy.
If the viewer is the kind of person who read Hemingway's "The Killers," and was left confused, I suggest this person watch the super hero film in the next theater. Should the viewer be the kind of person who read "The Killers," understood, and was pleased, this viewer will be delighted with this fine, lean, and sharp film.
Who Killed Johnny (2013)
Spoiler
SPOILER ALERT: I watched this 90 minute film for 50 minutes before turning it off because there was absolutely no story. None. Did I mention this is a SPOILER? Nothing happened until a body suddenly appeared in the street and the lame, undeveloped characters hauled it into their lavish Beverly Hill home for some reason. SPOILER ALERT, if you haven't noticed. The only consistency is that the characters, like the director and writer, are young, spoiled, Swiss, and complaining to one another that they cannot write a film. This is an incredible irony, because they failed to write a film in real life. Is this some incredibly funny joke that only Europeans understand?
