Evander Ski then the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions?
Videokidmaker Its a pharase. Doesn't instantly mean it applies vice versa
I like what you said. Facts B.
Honestly this movie reminded me of Lovecrafts, The Colour Out of Space! People in the woods becoming sick or going insane! Horror movies that include the fear of the unknown leaving things up to the viewers interpretation are the best!!
They are doing a movie of that story with Nic Cage
My theory is that the people in charge of this movie had no clue how to advertise it so they sold it to the horror audience when it's not really a horror film
Emilio Rossi yeah they mite as well get a good opening day or 2 untill word of mouth gets around.
They needed to make that money back some how lol
It's a psychological horror, not a slasher flick
Psychological thriller please...
there doesn't have to be a killer or a monster to be a horror flick
This is a horror film. Just because it doesn't give you a jump scare every 30 seconds doesn't mean it isn't horror.
You said it was about trust but.. The way you explained it, it didn't really seem so. As in a sense, they were doomed the moment the kid opened that door. And after that was just the slow burn. Both kids got infected by day so they were all doomed. Trust didn't matter by that point. It just would have had everyone die more peacefully. If anything it sounds like more about how no matter how much you control everything, you can't. And being kind only sealed their fate. If they never took in that family, the kid would have never opened the door, got infected, got their son infected, and then doom everyone.
I know, I'm really late to the party, but I just rewatched this film, and actually there is something in the scene, when the dog is barking into the wood. But it's not what he is barking at. Behind the tree on the right to the dog is a person hiding. But so far I can't find out who or what this person is
Grandfather dies , dog gets sick , Travis sleeps right next to dog, Travis gets sick starts sleep walking and having nightmares, then will and his fam comes , dog is crazy runs off , dog jumps threw window maybe? , everyone sick and paranoid the end
Ppl were so pissed when the credits came up
Very thankful for this explainer, as I watched this movie and I was very frustrated when no definitive “it” came at night.
It would be even scarier if the red door creaked open end at the end of the movie and you see Sarah and Paul looking behind them in fear then end.
2:15 Someone is very happy to see me
🤣🤣🤣
The mom just voluntarily removed her mask outside for reasons that can’t be explained. I guess maybe because by the. She figured Travis had also been infected... but in that case, why’s everyone even still bothering to fight if they knew they’d all be dead in a day. And why didn’t they quarantine Travis and Andrew respectively upon learning of the open door? Instead, Travis’ mom was kissing all on him when he came back to the room with them... little bit of nonsense toward the end of the movie but overall, mad suspenseful
Can u do an ending explained for Memento?
Notification Squad member Sami has entered. wooo I live and love this type of series of videos!
are there more out there... and If they are, are they as chill as foundflix?
Pam Rodriguez I dont believe any other UA-camr makes these types of videos. I kinda like it like that though. it makes this series unique. I hope that helped.
Thanks, Sam. I dunno, I love what he does and I'm always craving for more.
Where gonna hit 1 mill congrats
Plz do “Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark”, for an Ending Explained video.
My family watched the movie. Last night and we still dont get the ending.
I kind of feel like he was actually sick the whole time, and nightmares and sleepwalking was the side effect they don't know about. so the physical signs are separate from the mental signs.
Daniel Bacon I agree. I think it is very possible Andrew was never even sick, because we never see his eyes to confirm it. It is all left up to the viewers interpretation.
Dawn Granquist Whether Andrew infected Travis or whether Travis infected Andrew is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that Paul killed an entire family because he THOUGHT that one of them MIGHT be infected. As one of the trailers said, "fear turns men into monsters."
EY3FUL I totally agree.
EY3FUL yes but all will had to do was show Paul Andrews eyes.
TheEagleCorpse Lol that would give us an answer though... and what's the fun in answers hehe
In my opinion, everything is explained in the movie if you can pick up on the hints. This is not a zombie virus where people eat each other. It is very clear they do not know exactly how the virus works, as the father stated it took less than a day for the grandfather to show symptoms. However, the virus doesn't just infect and kill you in a day. It probably takes weeks. The first onset of symptoms was paranoia, hallucinations, and sleep walking. The final stages was boils, black eyes, and black tar. The tar is likely evident that the body was dying on the inside because people do cough up a black tar like substance whenever they have a serious liver problem, this could also be an excuse for why the eyes turn black. The reason for burning the body is not because they're trying to keep the dead from rising, but rather kill the virus. This technique has been done for thousands of years when there is plague outbreak. The grandfather caught the illness first, then gave it to the dog, then the dog gave it to Travis. The whole family was sick, but they did not know because they didn't know what all the symptoms were. The family they took in probably caught the virus from them. This seems apparent when the mother of Andrew stated he didn't sleep walk. But he did, when he moved into the house. The dog never saw anything, he was hallucinating. The question is, how did the dog get injured and get into the room? There is a room before the red door. If you notice in one scene, the two mothers take boards down off of a window. It wouldn't make sense to pull the boards down in the main house, but what about the room before the main house? As stated in the movie, humans will do anything when paranoid. Seeing paranoia is a symptom, it probably influenced the dog to jump through the window and he cut himself. Now, who opened the door? There is a point where the father stated only he and his wife had a key to the door. Travis more than likely got one of the keys and opened the door while sleep wallking. Or it could have been one of the parents as they would not know they were sleep walking. Unfortunately, they were all going to die anyways because they were already infected.
I thought the same. Man I love these types of movies. You have to think to understand them properly.
this is the only theory that makes sense so far. but what is 'it' that comes at night then?
Sum Yung Gai The director straight admitted he chose the title because it sounds cool. However, if you want to tie it into the movie, that's when the sleep walking happens. Once that starts at night, you're infected.
Sum Yung Gai “It” is the virus.
This is my favorite theory. I agree with you.
for the longest time i literally thought an actual monster was going to come out and at one point i whispered to my friend “omg its in the house :0” and im still embarrassed ab it to this day
You’re not wrong for thinking that tho, they made this movie as vague as possible
@@chr_s76 honestly the plot had so many holes
@@splash4890 The plot doesn't has holes. It's just not the kind of story you thought it would be.
See you didn't get it you were right the .onster was Inside literally they were human though.
Your not wrong. When the dog was barking there literally was a guy standing behind the tree. They we’re basically being stalked by the infected people outside their house. The entire movie there were infected watching their home from a distance.
Red door is slightly open. Boi that door was at a 90 degree angle to the door frame that was more than slightly
eaterofgrayons aye, how did no one else point that out lmao
Thanks, I was thinking the same.
i think the boy opened it up more
when the dog returns home = the scene he is describing, the door is actually slightly open. the picture shown to which you are referring is a different part of the film.
Yes, that is the joke.
watching this movie in quarantine from covid-19 makes this movie 10x scarier lol
Shut the fuck up. You sound stupid.
@rent a shill lol ok white knight.

@@boscopooda7169 Wow dude you probably shouldn't talk to women
@@anthonydecarolis2912 so I can only say nice things to women? Thats sexist. I treat everyone with equality.
Moral of the story: don't let any outsiders into your home during the apocalypse.
True, even in 28 weeks later the family had a whole hoard of zombies on them because they were following the boy the family let inside their home.
@@gk0809 Sleepwalkers you mean?
I thought that was common sense but i guess not
Hey we friends. Hey let's kill each other. Pew pew oh ma gah we ill too. Die we too weeeeei
Thats definitely not the moral, the one that was infected was travis. If anything the moral should be dont go into a strangers house during an apocalypse
i think by "it" they mean the disease. You know you have the disease if you get those nightmares that Andrew and Travis had. The fear is that the sickness starts at night, when the nightmares come.
Good thought there. My thought was that the nightmares just started out as that: nightmares. But, as the son’s fear grew, the nightmares began to blend into reality. Soon, the son couldn’t tell the difference. We, the audience, were the only ones who could piece together reality and dreams. Notice how the red door was closed and then finally opened? That’s where the son had completely lost the difference between his nightmares and reality. Now this could have been said in the video already but I haven’t listened to it just yet. I say this was a brilliant movie.
My theory was that the "it" is paranoia and fear but i that makes more sense(the only thing that would have made this make more sense is if where Will and Kim attempt to leave the house was during the night because you can clearly see when they go outside its day)
I agree that the "it" is the sickness, but I think it's a little more literal than metaphorical, as both families weren't doomed until the night Andrew opened the door to allow an infected Stanley back into the house.
Good theroy
@@kosaba11 andrew wasnt tall enough to reach the door handle. It was Travis the whole time. The dog was looking sick as fuk in the beginning of tge movie already as the grandpa infected it and it spread to Travis
I disagree I think Travis was infected this entire time, hear me out, he cant sleep at night very well and he has fever dreams, Travis mentioned that his grandpa ''BUD'' was unable to sleep too and would sleepwalk during the last week of his life and often forget where he was or what he was doing,. When Paul ask if Andrew sleepwalks both his mother and father deny it offensively Strongly suggesting that sleepingwalking is a symptom of the sickness that and Andrew also mentioned he cannot renmber what happened, MEMORY loss is also a symptom. Travis infected Andew how did Travis got infected? Stanley, Stanley was his grandfather's dog and continued sleeping on his bed most likely got infected that way and infected Travis. The dog probally had fever dreams as well and got paranoid and THATS why it run into the woods, Some of Travis fever dreams are NOT fever dreams they are in fact scenes of what really happened, Travis opened the red door as it was established that Andew was far to small to unlock it anyway, Travis had contact with the dying Stanley and then went back into the house and most likely forgot about it. (the sickness probally works as a parasite, that can mess with its host brain in order to make more people sick) in the end who opened the red door wasnt't important anymore because all of them were infected and the sickness just worked slower or faster at some people. What ''comes '' at night? pure and simple the Symptoms of the infection: Fever Dreams, Memory Loss and Sleep walking
Faust Girl I like it
Damnn!!! Like a boss!!
thanks I also like to mention since I re-watched the movie that Andrew and his mother were also infected early on, in once scene Travis cant sleep and he sees Andrew's mother in the kitchen she mentions that she cant sleep lately either and has weird dreams, she probably ended up infecting her own son
Faust Girl Not bad
Faust Girl I like you're theory, and I also thought Travis was infected the whole time. The only thin is how was he able to open the door with his dad being the only one that had a key for that door and always had it around his neck?
So, we're not gonna talk about the aspect ratio changing in Travis' dreams and it also changing to dream state when Paul shoots Will's wife? The aspect ratio switches back to normal on the credits.
If you watch Chris Stuckmann review of the movie and he mentions this in his review
It might be Travis starts hallucinating as part of the disease and his father never actually shoots her
Great content man. Hopefully one day you can do UA-cam full time.
infamousdrifter1 does he have another job or something
Probably hoarding collectible items. Look behind him.
Carson Weaver 😂😂😂
infamousdrifter1 iiii
Is that a gift or a curse?
The problem is the trailer misleads you by making it look like a supernatural horror film than a psychological suspense film.
anarbitur the director went to ... the Hello games school of misleading market. Sure the set up is nice but in the end the film did nothing new in the horro/suspense genre. It just a boring film that has a nice set up that did nothing
silenjoker 45 Holy fuck I got cancer reading that comment.
+silenjoker 45 if you can't speak english, don't bother speaking it. Reading that gave me an aneurysm .

+silenjoker 45 better
Fun fact: during the shot of the dog barking into the woods, if you look to the thick tree just right of centre frame you can glimpse a persons shoulder/arm hanging out the right side, that finally pulls back behind the tree just before the shots end. Was probably just a member of the crew provoking the dog to bark, but pretty cool they left it in there. Super creepy once you notice it.
Great observation
Time stamp?
Dat was the first thing I noticed!
I can’t spot it
There was also a dude sitting on a tree stump when they were driving right before they got attacked
I see a red door and want to paint it black....

I saw this yesterday with my boyfriend and after watching this I just felt kind of empty. Not scared but just bummed out.
EDIT: I'm not saying the film is bad, not at all. Its a great film.
Same !😑
I was hella depressed
Had a truly weak storyline... I kept watching hoping it would get better
Timothy States I don't think that's what they meant by empty
nah, not me I was happy that they all died :)
Wait, so was it all Andrew's fault they died?
BACON BROS NATION yep
It's the dog's fault but Andrew may just cause another one sometimes down the road.
BACON BROS NATION it's pretty debatable. Travis had a nightmare before he woke up and walked Andrew to bed. It regarded him going outside with a gun and finding Stanley. Maybe it wasn't fully a nightmare?
There is debate that Travis opened it because before he passed away there was a dream of him opening the door at night. There's also another dream that he sees Stanley outside at night. I think that these dreams are just him sleepwalking.
Owen_newO I agree with you I think travis found the dog when he went out with the gun at night I don't think it was a nightmare
*"ending explained"* explains entire movie
Justin Miller yep that's how it usually is . When it comes to his explanation videos
yeah, i really hope he see's this comment. i like his content, but he REALLY needs to hold back on explaining the entire movies, start to finish and literally just do what the tittle suggests.
uracunt there are so so many people that watch his videos without watching the movies. if he does that it may alienate some of his audience.
imissmyoldchannel You do realize you just made his point for him right, also any films this guy does ending explained on are already released for people to watch anyway so people have had ample time to watch them.
If they want a simple how does a film end they can go ask on a forum site or google it but explaining the ending to a film suggests he has to reference certain points in the film. Its a catch 22 situation between both arguments.
Regardless of that though it is a shame he cannot do this stuff on current cinema releases as it would make it easier to decide if its worth going to the cinema to see some films.
Justin Miller
How would you explain the ending of the film without referencing certain points in the film itself, its not a "How the film ended" video its an "Ending Explained" video so he has to do a build up so people know what he is talking about.
watching this in the middle of corona virus epidemic really puts things into perspective
Webbs Kruiser watch contagion
It's pandemic dude and it sucks...
Ok edgelord
Yeah, touching your face after interacting with a potential vector point can be a death sentence.
Having lived through almost a year of pandemic, the lack of CDC guidelines being followed here had me screaming.
Right after they all sit at the table to talk about the incident with the dog getting in they all interact with food and water, go back to their rooms touching everything along the way without disinfecting, they proceeding to touch their mouths, eyes, each other's faces, and the mother repeatedly giving travis kisses and touching his face, all before anyone "washes up."
Its just like real life right! Sickness spread due to dumb kids who cant keep their grimy hands out their noses
who watches these so they save money and just listen to him summerize the movie instead of watching it

This is my super long explanation of how I interpreted the film!
I actually have my own different interpretation of the movie. I do agree that the film is truly about how these characters deal with the shitty post apocalyptic world. However, I believe the film is mostly shown from the perspective of Travis. If you pay close attention to the “nightmares” Travis has the aspect ratio is slightly smaller separating itself from other scenes. I believe that these are actually not all dream sequences. In a brief scene between Travis and Kim, Travis isn’t able to recall how long it’s been since he was able to sleep. I believe that Travis has insomnia and loss of time. He isn’t able to separate reality from his nightmares. These scenes with the red lantern are all what he perceives. Some of which are fantasy and some reality. The sequence where Travis is outside looking for the dog is something he doesn’t know if it’s real or not. I believe that this truly did happen and he is the one who opened the red door, not Andrew. This leads to Andrew and Will’s family becoming infected. The final 15 or so minutes all have an even smaller aspect ratio after you see Travis struggling to understand what is going on between the two families outside and the screams and gunshots he hears. His subconscious guilt of not truly knowing whether or not he is the cause of the chaos is the reasoning behind the aspect ratio shrinking even more. When it comes to the IT in the title I believe IT is the fear, guilt and confusion Travis has when it comes to the night time. He has no control over himself every night whether it’s because he sleep walks or he loses the time he spends wondering around at night mistaking it with nightmares. This would also follow the theme of how these characters react within this world. Paul was a school teacher who became very paranoid and overly protective as you said. Will isn’t afraid to lie and keep secrets to protect his family and Travis essentially loses his mind being driven insane by his fears. That’s what I picked up from the film on first and second viewing. I absolutely loved this film and wish there were more like it.
Also one more thing. I do think there is something out in the woods because in a scene with Paul and Travis, Travis is drawing these monsters in the woods. Maybe he has seen them in his nightmares aka his wondering at night and is drawing what he saw.
Anyways if you or anyone else actually read this entire thing thanks! Spent some time on this. Keep up the great content!
Brad Stowell I never thought about that I really like your interpretation! I'm gonna see it again soon so now maybe with this in mind I'll catch something new. I'll let you know when I see it. I do disagree with you on the drawings though I just saw some guys in gas masks lol
thumbs up dude, I also think there was something the woods...the dog's barking cut right off...didnt he say he saw something/heard..also how did the dog show up in the kind of 'quarantine' area they have
1sheldon Travis would have brought the dog back once he found him in the woods
Brad Stowell I don't remember if it was the same sequence but when Travis was looking for the dog, and discovers something terrifying (that we the viewers didn't see) maybe he ran all the way back and left the door open? This could definitely be all wrong if I'm getting him chasing the barking and this scene mixed up but that's just my guess
Potatoe My Tomato Yeah that could also fit in. That’s what I love about this movie. We could be completely wrong with this theory but it sure is fun thinking about it in this way.
We know Travis' entire family is infected, including even the dog. We do not know when or how, we do not know the vectors or incubation period. They may even all be infected at the beginning of the movie before Will even shows up.
If you look at Travis', his dad's, and the dog's behavoir we may have to assume that erratic behavior is a symptom including paranoia, hysteria, hallucinations and, with Travis, night terrors, i.e. the IT that comes at night.
There is no evidence of zombies or monsters other than the imaginings of Travis' family, again including the dog barking and running after nothing apparently.
To me the most important question is Who let the dog into the house? Will asks the obvious question as to whether Travis opened the red door, but perhaps prudently does not ask the next obvious question Who opened the outer door?
Will knows and we know the outer door is always locked and only the father or mother would have the only key. Will bristles when asked about Andrew's sleepwalking because he sees the wheels turning in the father's mind, whose attitude appears to be best shoot and burn then ask question later. And I think it is dawning on Will that only Travis, but more likely the father or mother could have let the dog in, and that he has brought his family into a house of infected that have lost touch with reality, maybe something he has seen before at the last place they stayed. Hence, his decision to get out of dodge, but knowing in their madness that the family would rather kill them then let them leave.
I think the real twist is we saw Travis and his family as the protagonists, the ones trying to survive the horrors of this new world, but really they were already infected, it was Will and his family who had a chance to make it, but unfortunately got caught in the downward spiral of Travis and his family.
This movie has an unfortunate name.
John Miller it actually fits if you think of the title as more of a metaphor. IT could refer to the fear and paranoia, whatever brought the dog back or even the nightmares. But I do agree that this movie was marketed misleadingly. Shame too. I don't think its a bad movie at all, but a lot of people are going to be dissatisfied because of this
u 2 are on a completely separate wavelength
It Comes At Night basically means bad dreams.
Daniël Dekkers He meant in the sense that I as well come at night.
To me, the "IT" is Travis's nightmares. They come at night as he sleeps. His fear
is no one gonna ask how Will said his ‘brother’ died, but then later when he’s having a drink with Paul he mentions he’s an only child and when confronted he said it was just his brother in law. there had to be more to it. aswell as the other survivors they encountered when they went to go get Will’s family, they had to have belonged to another group or family who must’ve gone looking for them when they didn’t come back.
MY question as well!!!
EXACTLY!!!
I see it as Will was telling the truth. As an only child he became part of his “brother” family at early childhood and may have even seen the day his wife was born. When his “brother and sister” moved he chased after her then married her. I think Will realized how akward the story sounded.
Are you saying that the Family that attacked Paul and Will actually knew Will and his family and went out searching for Will while he was looking for water? Interesting theory
He was always telling the truth but yet intimated by a man of zero tolerance especially with his family in the house that explains y he was packed up and leaving instead of killing them the chance he got while having a gun himself the host family hid no idea at all
am I only here that didnt watch the movie and it's getting spoilers in order to make sure if the movie is good or not?
Yes, you're the only one
You two are the only ones
Canal SDR literally no one else is here for that. A million people and you're the one single person out of everyone in the entire world who comes here to see the movie without watching it. None of the hundreds of comments saying the same exact thing matter, it's only you that matters.
Canal SDR me too.
I just watch this cause then i dont have to watch the movie. And its less scary then if i would have watched it alone
What I don't understand is why the hell didn't they board the grandfathers room up. If he is coughing up the black tar substance...wouldn't it be safer to close the room off to everyone?...
And leave a dying HUMAN alone in a room for hours?
Yes.....
Ya lets just let him kill everyone because we dont want to leave him a in a room for his last couple hours, wtf
Because the movie would've ended in 10 mins if they thought with common sense. Lol xP
Well its called being human. Who would do that to a family member that raised you all their life. Thats like your parents boarding you into your room now cause they want to cut down on bills and just say you moved away. Happy thoughts on that 💁
It reminds me of the four horsemen. Pestilence - The epidemic. Famine - lack of food and water. War - The confrontational way that things go down. And at the end. Death.
Eyerish .B Neat
Well put.
That's deep
I mean that one painting near to the beginning showed a legion of what looks to be undead (not in the zombie type way) slaughtering people and destroying what looks like holy ground. Almost as if it’s demons possessing dead bodies of who ever is effected. So this maybe have something to do with the biblical apocalypse. I don’t know though, could be bs.
And we’re going through that now...
When i watch these i feel like i watched the full movie hehe no regrets !🙌🙌 keep it up 💓
wow you were here !
@Super Duck nah this movie was boring as hell. He pretty much pointed out every plot point and important scene.
@Super Duck and i agree. Except in the case of this movie. I just watched it a couple hours ago, and felt nothing for these characters. I'd say the only thing he missed showing in this video is the nightmares the son had. It was a boring plot and the characters were pretty forgettable.
@Super Duck Oh most definitely, I wouldn't watch a summary of Endgame, or Benjamin Button and expect to truly understand the meaning and depth of everything that went down. I'm not shitting on independent movies at all but there are many like these that try too hard to be symbolic or mysterious and it turns into a snooze fest. There are good independent horrors like The Void, and then there's shit like this.
Trust me you didn't miss anything, I promise that basically the
I have another potential theory...
Travis says he's been having trouble sleeping for some time now, and frequently gets up at night and wanders around the house. What if the dream he had where he goes outside because he hears Stanley barking and then is horrified by what he sees isn't a dream? What if he actually leaves the house, finds Stanley in some stage of half sleep, and brings him back into the house?
This would make Travis the one who brings the sickness into the house, and then he has contact with Andrew who was sleeping in Bub's room, getting him sick as well. Andrew is younger so maybe the symptoms show up in him first.
I think this theory has some potential because Will and Kim say that Andrew is barely tall enough to even unlock the red door. Even if he did, how would Stanley come inside? And how was the outside door even opened, I thought Paul was the only one to have the keys?
I think the fact that Will and Kim were adamant Andrew didn't open the door, and that he doesn't sleepwalk might hold some merit, because even until the end Will tried as hard as possible to not hurt them in anyway (he lowered his gun first). The sketchiest thing I saw from them was when Will said he had a brother, but later said it was a brother in law. A awkward thing to say, but it might've been true.
So basically I think Travis was the one sleepwalking and let the sickness in.
I do agree with this Travis was having nightmares his grandfather got him sick
I think Travis was really sick and he was getting paranoid so wills family was paranoid that Paul’s family was sick so they wanted to leave and Paul thought they wanted to leave cause the kid was sick …so in the end the paranoia got to both families (the it ) …but will ended up being sick
I have a very odd theory about this movie. I think that at the start of the film Travis is infected. Now Paul says that Grandpa had symptoms after 1 day of potentially being infected, however I think there is a big period of the disease giving you neurological symptoms. Essentially his dreams and insomnia are a way of showing his psychological breakdown, on top of that I think he said he was having the nightmares more recently. By the time Andrew is sleepwalking it is showing that he is in fact infected as well, he even said he had a bad dream or something. The physical effects of the disease are towards the end but there is a long period of signs showing you are sick before that. Andrew wasn't breaking out at the end of the movie, his parents didn't want him to see Will pulling a gun on someone or the possible violence.
ironwolf113 I agree. I am feeling the same way. It is possible that when Will tells his son Andrew to close his eyes, it was to prevent him from seeing the scary scene of Will holding a gun against Paul. Especially since Andrew was only a little boy. Not once do we actually ever see Andrew's eyes, so it is possible that he was never infected after all. Perhaps Paul, his wife & son Travis were actually the ones infected first. I think there are different ways to interpret the film.
I agree that Andrew probably wasn't sick. Kim was holding him right up to her chest and hugging him. If he was sick and she wasn't then why would she risk infection like that? We are able to see Kim's eyes and she appears healthy. Also why would they demand half of the supplies if they knew at least 2 of them were going to die within a day?
Owen_newO Very good points. And then when Will cracked open the door, after Paul insisted he let him in to see Andrew, Will could see Paul dressed up with the gas mask on, and most likely knew what Paul was planning to do to them, if he thought they were infected.
ironwolf113 It is possible that Travis was actually the one that opened the red door & not Andrew. Also, even if it turned out Andrew was infected, he started having nightmares & sleepwalking just like Travis. Which again shows that it is possible Travis was already infected, since he'd had nightmares & was sleepwalking throughout the film.
ironwolf113 I had something similar, that the dog started out with it. The dog was the grandpas, we know this because Travis says "I'll take care of you now." Or something like that. The dog runs off because he sees a hallucination and runs after it. Travis has all the beginning symptoms, nightmares, sleepwalking, etc.
Man I think we have far different meanings to “ending explained” as I sit and listen to you recap the entire damn movie I just watched.
Facts lmao
Exactly...
Ikr he’s the best!
Thomas Laine I love how he does it
^ No, that’s not at all what the commenters above were saying. They were pointing out how this video says “ending explained,” yet FoundFlix’s dumb fuckass gave a recap of the entire movie.
movie about Ebola
WHAT DID YOU JUS SAY ABOUT MY PEOPLE? WE WUZ KINGS ND SHIET.
sasukefangirl4lyfe someone is triggered
Why did u say that Name!?
Nu it's da black death
Christian Benitez this ait medieval times
So, the Last of Us without monsters. Got it.
jayc21 I was thinking the same thing.
jayc21 yep basically that cause when I saw the trailer I'm like finally a zombie movie but when I watched it I left the movies like what the heck that movie was a piece of crap there was barely no zombie action scenes
jayc21 First thing I thought lol
jayc21 lol I kept calling Paul by Joel because it reminded me of the Last of Us. Funny enough, the actor's name who plays Paul is Joel! (In case anyone forgot, Joel is the name of the main character in last of us)
jayc21 yeah I thought of that too when I saw the entire movie.
Travis’ last dream when he goes out to find Stanley and gets attacked was real. He sleepwalks, finds Stanley and runs back to the house when something infects him. He doesn’t close the red door behind him and goes to bed. He wakes up again to find Andrew in Bud’s bedroom having a nightmare. When they take care of Stanley, Travis realises what he has done and feels guilty over giving the virus to Andrew and comes to the conclusion quickly from hearing the family from the attic. I think Travis infected Andrew and his guilt/denial caused what happened later.
mehdi I was looking for someone to mention the sleepwalking
But how did Andrew end up in the other room? This was suggesting, I believe, that Andrew had the virus because he was sleepwalking and ended up in the other room. He already had it before Travis gave it to him. Though, I think you're right that Travis already had it, but it wasn't necessarily him that gave it to Andrew. I think the dog gave it to Andrew? Maybe?
Not sure how much sense it makes since the kid showed signs of sickness WAY earlier than Travis did
I thought Travis opened the door because he sleepwalked
Which is one of the symptoms.
It's worth noting that the two men who attacked Will and Paul while they were driving looked very much like father and son. There was a semi-long shot of their faces in the "tree trunk" grave-one looked about 60, the other around 30-with similar features. Why would Shults (the director/writer) focus on this?
A lot of people think this movie is all about fear, paranoia and survival, and yes, this movie certainly had those elements but I think all of that stems from the relationship between father and son (Shults wrote this while grieving his father's death). We will do anything for our child to the detriment of others. Our "love" for our own kids is actually decaying society as a whole.
Maybe Travis' worst nightmare was to become like his father. The red door could mean death but it could also be symbolic for innocence. You open and pass through it and you're infected. There's no return. Where did all the killings happen? Outside the red door.
Anyway, I thought this was a well-crafted film. It lost a little momentum around the 1/3 mark but picked up again. It's not for everybody but I will be thinking about it for weeks.
"It lost a little momentum"? Yet when a movie is constantly having momentum its "moving too fast" no matter what theres always little things people will nitpick about
At 49:22 in the movie when the dog is barking, there is an arm and a hand showing to the right of the large tree to the right of the dogs ear. The arm even moves out of sight behind the tree, and when the same tree is shown again there is no one there. We looked all over and no one has talked about this please someone explain
For the life of me I can't see it lol
Jordy Morgan same that tree far away ash
Jordy Morgan oh i see it now, the tree to the right of the dog, the arm is parallel to the tree and has on a blue sleeve, it’s just barely sticking out, it could be a filming mistake
@@999.sawyer4 You really think so? My dad said they probably fucked up lol but I'm thinking it was intentional but I hear no one talking about that scene. Why would they have someone behind the tree though in the first place? To command the dog to bark? It looked very ominous to me so I don't think it was an accident.
@@jordymorgan3681 I think it's the closest tree to the dog on the right? There is definitely someone behind the tree. Not to mention when the dog runs away and Travis chases his dog, he stops because he hears a really weird noise coming from the forest. Maybe there really is something evil out there. Why else would they show that to us? Just to creep us out? I liked this movie I just feel like it has really lazy writing and doesn't explain anything on purpose to leave it up to our imaginations.
Thats the painting of the black plauge
Still not convinced there is no creature, well yeah there is none poping up, but i feel there is something thats not told, in the scene where they drive in the forest Will and Paul you can clearly see a silhouette of a man sitting, what about the scene where Travis is drawing some form of aliens or goverment people and where he stops and looks at the tree for a moment clearly sees something there. The story is up for the viewer too decide and thats what makes it a great movie.
I know it likely wasnt intended but its sorta cool to think of the "monster" as one of the Four Horsemen. Namely Pestilence. Wandering the world spreading the disease even further, or simply enjoying the fruits of his labor.
I though I was the only one who saw the man sitting looking like the thinking man
HealThy Self was it in the scene where Paul kills the man by the road?
There's no one sitting there. It's a damn tree dude.
There is a scene where you can see someone running through the woods though.
I thought I was the only one who spotted that! Freaky! Went back and looked again and it did look like something sitting there
Glad to know what to expect with this corona virus
Yup
Albino Neko stop overeating please
Xuân Bách Đỗ They were joking dude
the little kid didn´t open the door, that is the obvious answer.
found flix I love your channel!
ayyy my boy
He never touched up on the part where will slipped up about his "brother"
Still confused too but my guest would be that it refers to some contact from Will's family with another scavenger group or something, that could have ended up badly ? Maybe the group that attacked them on their way ? Overall I think that this was a way to implemente the seed of distrust between both groups. Whatever Will did, it was problematic enough that had to lie about it, so he couldn't be trusted.
I think it was to show audience that he was lying about it and that Paul could see it so the arrangement was never going to work.
I think it was just too show the seeds of mistrust. I sometimes call my half brother my brother or my sister in law my sister. Just depends. Also hard to explain it without sounding like you're trying too hard to explain it.
If the film makers had explained that it was a post-apocalyptic paranoia film about a plague i probably would have watched it. but the vague trailer was off putting.
Well said, I concur
Agreed, I definitely thought this was a zombie movie.
I saw this movie as a bleak exercise into what happens when your actions are driven by fear, the toll it takes, and the things you would do that you would never do under normal circumstances. The monster you can become when driven by fear.
I love how much money I save by "watching" movies through this channel
Well of course the experience is gonna be pretty different.
@Young Beige if taxation was lower, I could afford to go to the cinema.
I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed this film...yes, they don't explain what exactly comes at night but that's what makes it amazing. It's up to you to decide.
BaconJesus they did in the trailer, it's fear and a bunch of other stuff
BaconJesus What a cheap excuse..."oh look at me I'm so deep and metaphorical, someone interpret me"
Aseril Nah its not really cheap since you can pick up the clues that are heavily implied throughout the movie.
Aseril they said the same thing about 2001 and The Shining and look how far that got
But that's bullshit, I could've just stayed home and had a daydream if I wanted to concoct a story out of my own imagination. The point of a movie is that it does the work for you or at least steer you in a direction. There's such thing as being *too* vague, and this movie was it.
Moral of the story, Cocaine is a hell of a drug...🚬💊💉⚗....
plot twist there all on a bad trip
Sooooo he talks about the WHOLE movie but doesn't EXPLAIN THE ENDING lol :D
Black goo? this is clearly a pre-quel to Prometheus. What is it with black goo anyway? First we see it in the X-Files, then Prometheus and now this...why not white goo...oops..never mind, let's keep this G-rated.
Who else watches these just because they're too big a sissy to actually watch the movie?
Gerg Fank they watch these because maybe they don't understand the ending and can't watch again till later.
Faith Reed true but it ends up explaining the entire movie and I like it.
Gerg Fank true but I hate spoilers I just sometimes like it when it's explained.
Gerg Fank or lazy.
Gerg Fank me lol
"The door slightly open" The door was way more than slightly open
He picked a clip from the wrong scene. The actual scene has door slightly open
Love this movie. I was afraid it was going to be some stupid zombie movie. I love psychological thrillers. I'm OK with the story leaving it up to interpretation, as long as they build the characters so that you feel some sort of empathy. Not like the void which leaves everything up to interpretation and gives you no reason to give a shit about the characters.
I watched the movie and Sarah kills Will, not Paul
Everything else is accurate
WELL DONE, FOUNDFLIX
There was a scene that shows how the 17 years old dude is drawing creatures in woods. Hmmmm...
Those were people in gas masks not creatures lol
I watched this with my mom a couple months ago, and it all seemed surreal, i felt this un-ending emptiness afterwards though.
Mournful emptiness?Do you dislike thinking of the movie even now?
Maybe I missed this further down in the comments but how the hell could andrew have opened the door if Paul was the only one with the key (a point that was very well made early on in the film)?
blcaligraphy The door was already open. but thats the thing. how the dog get inside and how did the door open?
kaysoft marie There was a scene in the movie where the two mothers took boards off of a window. Out of paranoia, one of the symptoms, the dog jumped through the window and cut himself. Also, a symptom is sleep walking. Since everyone was likely infected, Paul could have opened the door but did not know because he was sleep walking.
Just watched this thought-provoking movie. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm not so convinced Andrew was sick. Yes, his dad told him to keep his eyes covered; but you would tell your young son to close his eyes too, if you felt a violent altercation was about to ensue. But on that note, I'm also not so sure everyone, including the dog, wasn't already sick anyway. We know that no one actually knows how the illness works, so you can't rule out that possibility. Still, to your theory's credit, Andrew was crying a lot when Travis was eavesdropping, which the sickness would explain.
I think proof that Andrew was sick: the memory loss, him being in another room with no explanation, and finally when he was saying "get out" over and over again. I think he was having his version of the nightmares that Travis was experiencing. So, when Will was saying Andrew had a bad dream, it was that and a symptom of infection as well.
Moral of the story: No one like Travis
Great explanation.
I was assuming that Travis was the one infected to begin with.
I thought that like in his dream he did go out to search for his dog and became infected.
But your explanation makes more sense thinking back on it
Or, Travis was the one infected. He did share a room with his grandfather and the dog.
Think about it: We don't know much about the disease or really how long it takes to really start showing symptoms. My guess is that one can be infected and not show symptoms for a while and others will show them right away. I would think someone with a weaker immune system or older one, like the grandfather, would show them much quicker than would Travis and Andrew whose immune systems are stronger.
As far as "it" that would be referring to one of the symptoms which we are led to think is sleepwalking. Think about this: Travis is the one having the "nightmares" and dream sequences. Now, while anyone can say that is a normal reaction to the events going on around him and is a normal coping mechanism, they could also be a significant symptom given that the sleepwalking occurs at night which explains the "it" comes at night as being an indicator that someone is infected and wasn't there some talk about the grandfather walking in his sleep?
They even made a deal of it when Andrew was found in Travis's room and kept asking the other family if he walks in his sleep and I know from having a small child his age that at times they will not so much walk in their sleep but do things that kids that age normally will do because that is what they are told such as going to the bathroom. It's unclear as to whether or not what facilities are available and where they are located and a kid his age would have been told to get up at night and would not really understand the totality of the situation they are in because of his age. Plus, Travis and Andrew did develop a little bond and it is not uncommon for a kid Andrew's age to want to be closer to the one closest to his age which would be Travis and it is not that uncommon that Andrew would want to be with Travis. To me, all of the adults are ignoring some basic things and reasoning here.
As for Will "lying" about his brother, Will never said his "brother" was his biological brother. In fact, it really was/is not that uncommon for only children to "adopt" friends and others as brothers or sisters and didn't Kim say they had been together since they were Travis's age about 16? That makes sense that he would think of her family as his, so that can explain that part of it, so we really do not know if Will was just intentionally lying to Paul. As an only child, I have done this myself as all my old friends I consider life my family.
Also, explain to me how the hell Andrew would have been able to reach up to unlock everything? Also explain how the hell he would know HOW to unlock everything? Didn't Travis go out looking for his dog without his parents knowing about it? Could it be possible that he was sleepwalking or went out to look, forgot or didn't lock up, Andrew woke up and went to the other room, Travis didn't see him then Travis wakes up, goes out to look, sees Andrew while not paying much attention to the door, puts him back in bed then goes out again and notices that the door was open? None of that makes any sense that a small child would have the logical cranial functioning to wake up, get a chair or stool, somehow figure out how to unlock all those locks (which he would need a key for) go put the chair/stool back where he got it without waking anyone up, then just to fake out everyone go in another room and fall asleep? Hell, this kid is wasting his talents then and should be working for the CIA if he can do all of that. No, Travis either fucked up and didn't remember or was too afraid to tell his already paranoid parents what happened or he was infected and didn't realize it and opened the door himself and didn't remember.
Regardless your review and evaluation does not make much sense considering that Will and his family did not kill Paul's and did not want to rob or take anything from them. It would be one thing is they, bit by bit took the keys, got food and hid it and supplies and hid it without anyone finding it out, which seems unlikely given Paul is super paranoid at this point and would obviously hear them, and have them sneak away. Besides, didn't Paul say that from now on only he and Will should go outside? Yes, the lines are on IMDB. So, Paul could have given him the gun and we just not see it. AND, Will and Kim just wanted to leave. They didn't want anything except a couple day's rations, they did not want the vehicle, they just wanted to leave, so it makes no sense for Paul to have killed the family and NO, Will did not pick the fight here, no one picked the fight because you are ignoring the most obvious and scariest thing about this film: the fact that Paul and his family have been living on total fear and paranoia for a while and for so long that they have become the "monsters."
It was unnecessary for Paul to kill the other family period. It was the complete fear and paranoia that was the "it" that accompanied the movie because after Will's family are dead, what happens? Travis becomes infected and Paul and Sarah are left with the guilt that they killed another family when all along it was probably Travis who was sleepwalking and was the one who left the door opened which led up to the final act of murder and Paul and Sarah are left to think about it and live with it. This does not make Travis the bad guy here because what happens at night is that his dreams are very lucid and he starts sleepwalking which we are led to believe are a part of the affliction or disease and that it only occurs at night and possibly is something nocturnal. The nocturnal element is something that has not been discussed either as there is something known as "sun-downing" where a person's cognitive reasoning and capabilities deteriorate as the sun goes down, probably due to the conversion of serotonin into melatonin or an abnormal metabolite of serotonin into something else that is close to melatonin.
I loved the movie! I was constantly on edge and appreciated the fact that the infection wasn't a major focus of the story for once. It was used to drive the paranoia, but the movie doesn't waste time in focusing as to what the infection does or what it is. Really refreshing to see a focus on the characters rather than the infection for once.
This actually helped out a lot. I was confused when I saw the movie. Thanks!
Water idea is pointless. They simple use dirty water source and best way to purification it is steaming (heavy metals etc) or filtering. They dont simple boil it cus theres still dirt inside.
That's why you filter and then boil.
HartianX seriously, have these people never gone camping. in a post apocalypse world, i would definitely do both steps
Minority Man I mean they probably haven't as it's a rather niche hobby and even for those who do, most don't camp long enough that they'd have to rely on natural water sources rather than what ever water they bring with them.
The boiling is for the bacteria, ya have to filter first
Does anyone else just look at the pop figures and movies in the back?
I do
I took it that Andrew was not infected and they were trying to leave because they knew that Travis was infected, probably from retrieving his dog (so Travis was the one who opened the door). The whole movie was spent building distrust for Will and his family and the viewer naturally sides with Paul's family having been introduced to them first. It is never shown that Andrew was actually sick, only implied. Will's family tries to leave making you think that they are trying to protect the sick Andrew, things get out of had and then Paul murders them only to have it revealed that it was Travis who was sick and Paul murdered 3 healthy people who were trying to escape them.
Yes. This is definitely the correct interpretation.
"It" to me is the sons dreams. His dreams come at night. The dreams reflect the stages of infection which takes longer than the dad says.
Am I the only one who thinks Will looks like Kit Harrington?
I thought that too lmao
He looks like Kit and that guy from prometheus who got infected and banged that chick
Tyler Jaynes omg he does!
Buttuhcup If Kit had a kid with Shia
Buttuhcup yes
Buttuhcup I just watched the movie and was thinking the exact same thing when I saw Will. He looks like kit Harrington, just a little older. I thought it was just me.

MatAssasin 20 Fuck you
Moral of the story: *SOCIAL DISTANCE*
Travis opened that door not Andrew
god you right, people so dumb, ever reviewer got it wrong lol, Andre is too short to even reach door, its stated though, it was travis, dog was infected and so was him, hence Andrews family paniked and wanted to leave and it got all messed up.
Your proof?
Could have also been Paul since he stated only he and his wife had a key. One of the symptoms was sleep walking. He wouldn't have known if he was sleep walking.
I think Travis killed his dog and infected Andrew. I think Travis was suffering from an anxiety episode that made him forget stuff and sleep walk.
They only stated that Andrew "Could barely reach" and later Will says, "He (Andrew) barely touched it." Kind of alluding to Andrew having opened the door and finding Stanley.
And the thing about the door being locked... Does the red door even lock? The front door does, yes. But I don't remember them ever actually unlocking or locking the red one, just the front one...
Anyway, Travis could have opened it too, I just believe that Andrew was infected when Travis found him having a nightmare.
Perhaps, Stanley came back through the broken window, Andrew heard him and opened the red door. But seeing the dog in such a state scared him, he ran and hid and had a nightmare, etc.
this is currently my favorite movie of 2017. I have not yet seen Baby Driver or Dunkirk but It Comes At Night is my favorite so far.
It just tickles me that when it comes down to a virus that can be deadly, and is otherwise highly contagious and sucks to have, so many people are stupid and whine about wearing masks. Yet in movies like these, people are painted as "overly-cautious". What a contrast from expectation vs reality.
so why the fuck is the movie called "it comes at night"
TheRaggedMarksman thats the only time the couples get frisky. At night.
TheRaggedMarksman the underlying focus of the film is often on the insomnia and nightmares of Travis and how those may be a symptoms of the sickness, which both happen at night, hence "it comes at night"
TheRaggedMarksman things that come at night: the family, Andrews sleepwalking, teens dreams, the dog. All perpetuate the mistrust to a breaking point.
Pennywise only skeets at night.
Because without that title people wouldn't have watched it in theaters. It's movie title clickbait.
'Slightly open'
The clipped that was showed was in his dream in the movie it is slightly open
This review prompted me to see this movie. I was aware it was going to be bleak but damn I can see how so many were outraged
So if andrew was the one to open the door, how did he get his hands on the key? Theres only one copy of it for that door and it seems unlikely he'd be told who had it or where it was since thats not necessary, so how'd he manage to open it?
Daniel Galvez there was no key to the red door it’s a key to the main door though but can be opened from the inside like you’re house
I Found 2 Things Wrong With The Explanation.
1. Travis's Mom Shot Will Not His Dad. Travis's Dad Only Killed Will's Son & Wife
2. The Dog Was Bleeding From His Ribs and I Remember Seeing A Bite Mark Of Some Sort Indicating He May Have Been Bitten. So Maybe There was Some Sort Of Creature or Zombies Out There.
I really dont see any bite marks, also wouldnt a dog have been able to outrun any zombies. It's just a virus, no zombies IMO
The dog jumped through the glass window..
Sarah shot Will she shot him in the back
Sleep DOSENT come at night after watching this
Watching this locked up in my house and cant get out. who would of thought of the chances it would come true.
Omg was just about to write this myself
I enjoyed it. Thought it was good. A24 makes some realistic style horror movies and really grounds it. Slow but solid. Most people won't like this because they are looking for those generic jump scares, extreme violence, and demon possession
The same crap over and over again. I went in this kinda open minded and came out pretty satisfied. This is my OPINION. Everyone will feel differently. This is my take on it.
XMACHOXMANX I went in knowing nothing but the poster, and the brief synopsis of "two families dont trust each other and suspense happens" and oh god i thought it was so good
XMACHOXMANX exactly people don't give these types of slower movies a chance
I didn't like the movie at all, and I hate all of the generic horror tropes that you included a list of. First, the way this movie was advertised made it seem like it was a horror movie, not a psychological thriller. There is so much suspense built throughout the movie leading to big questions that never get answered. It makes you wonder "what is this leading up to? What's the big secret?" and it turns out to be nothing, just the work of paranoia&fear. I wasn't expecting a monster, I was expecting someone in the house to do something twisted and terrifying, or a plot twist or something! It just almost seemed like a documentary half the time, and I didn't personally enjoy it. /:
XMACHOXMANX My issue was with how they marketed it, such lies! I don't mind supporting independent movies, but don't mislead the generic public. Ultimately, I was the "it" that came that night to be played a fool.
