If It Comes at Night hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: paranoia and fear
The difference: Not nearly as bleak as It Comes at Night

Both keep coming back to the same thing: paranoia
The difference: Missing the stillness of It Comes at Night

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

The same mix in both: twists, then paranoia
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than It Comes at Night does

Common ground: nightmare
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: darkness

Contemplative drama in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on horror

Both are built on the same subject: forest

Mystery built on dread, twice over

Unsettling horror, and it commits to that

In the mood for more contemplative?
