Our next Drafthouse Recommends title is the remarkable IT COMES AT NIGHT, the astounding new film from Trey Shults, the visionary filmmaker behind 2015’s semi-autobiographical micro-budget sensation KRISHA. It's also being released by A24, the independent studio that -- our own biases aside -- has the best taste in the business, with a back catalog that includes GREEN ROOM, SWISS ARMY MAN, EX MACHINA, AMY, ROOM, THE WITCH, and THE LOBSTER. IT COMES AT NIGHT opens June 9th, and tickets are on sale now at drafthouse.com/show/it-comes-at-night Here’s what Alamo Drafthouse founder/CEO Tim League has to say about it... “Earlier this year we recommended Jordan Peele's GET OUT. We felt that although the film was being marketed as a horror movie, GET OUT was so special that it deserved to be seen by a much wider audience than just horror fans. The same can be said for IT COMES AT NIGHT. Trey Edward Shults burst onto the scene two years ago with his astonishing debut film KRISHA (you should see that too if you haven't already!). He follows up that Spirit-Award-winning feature with another deeply personal allegory woven into a brilliant suspense thriller. We love it and we think you will too.” Why do we recommend IT COMES AT NIGHT? IT COMES AT NIGHT is not a horror film. A thriller, a story about family, and a dark, artistically rich meditation on the fear of death, IT COMES AT NIGHT defies simple genre labels. It threads complex survivor drama and hallucinatory terror into a stark, post-apocalyptic setting. IT COMES AT NIGHT is a horror film Don’t expect your standard zombie or supernatural gore, but IT COMES AT NIGHT is psychological horror at its very best. An exercise in escalating dread, paranoia and terror, it’ll leave you shaken and wanting more. The director might just be the next big thing Trey Shults first came to our attention when his semi-autobiographical debut KRISHA won SXSW's Audience and Grand Jury prizes. His new film -- beautiful, self-assured, and terrifying -- confirms that he’s a cinematic voice worth following. We also think it’s one of the very best films you’ll see all year. Get your tickets now to this incredible film from a vital new cinematic voice.
