My biggest problem was them killing Ruth and how it was done. Shouldn't have killed her in the first place because she would be a great lead character for some kind of spin off, but to make it worse, they kill her off in the most anticlimactic way possible. Other than that the series just got slow and somewhat predictable after season 2.

This movie looks absolutely amazing and Margot Robbie and Ewan McGregor give high level performances as usual. Unfortunately, this movie ends up lacking the magic it should've had.

First off, there's too much narration which makes it hard to get into the story at times. There's so much narration that it just becomes lazy story telling on the writers and director's part.

Secondly, It seems to take a lot from other movies like kill bill, Scott pilgrim vs the world, and a lot of other films that don't come to mind at the moment. This could've been next level if the creators had the balls to be more original with the story.

Thirdly, There is unnecessary overt social commentary sloppily forced into the script from time to time.

Fourthly, The main antagonist doesn't feel threatening to the audience for one second. For example there's a scene where he forces a women in a club to strip that I guess was supposed to be menacing???

Lastly, this movie should've just been a solo Harley Quinn movie. The movie ended up trying to balance too much at once which made it feel not as focused as it could've been. The other girls just got glossed over because the studio wanted to sell more tickets.

I ultimately blame DC. Someone over there clearly doesn't belong in the film industry.

This movie had a lot of potential in my opinion. Impactful opening, nice cinematography, and some familiar actors. Unfortunately the movie ends up falling short. NO character development, cliche plot, underwhelming script, logic issues, and they really did the cliche "let's kill the only black character off first" thing.

I would advise anyone that comes across this movie to turn the other way, especially since there are others that are just like it but way better.

Why go through the trouble of driving the dad/killer out to the woods and dragging his body deeper into the woods to kill him for a staged suicide when you could've just called the cops in the first place or drove the killer to the cops??? There is no legit reason to protect his memory and reputation which is what I guess the son was trying to do by just killing him off. Also are we supposed to believe a couple of minor really got away with all that without being seen or questioned or anything??? There plans were laughably silly, I was letting it go until the cover up part at the end, but that finally just broke me.

Also what about the lady from the grocery store? I thought she was dead but according to what the girl says at the end she's not. The girl say she didn't see the killers face so she can't ID him, but that doesn't stop her from coming forward with all the sh*t she heard and did see, she wasn't deaf!!! Plus if they were trying to cover up the situation how did they let the woman go or get her to help without her seeing them in the first place?

This ending was just really sloppy and messed up a movie that I was actually really enjoying. I just don't buy that innocent teenagers decided to be cold blooded murders when they had other options. Plus they don't explain what happened to the victim at the end well at all. Everything besides the disappointing ending was actually really good. Could've been a 7 or 8/10.

My big problem was with the logic of this film. There are two scenes in a restaurant and hospital that would've proved the main characters innocence only if they had security cameras (which they 100% would've in 2020). Another illogical part of this movie was the ending. It just felt rushed and not creative at all, it actually was so bad and cliche it got cringey imo. The last thing that bothered me was that the relationship between the family that the protagonist was staying with was never explained. I didn't need a deep explanation because that's not what the movie was about but if you're going to put it in our face's explain a little more. Like why were the cop and attorney separated? Why doesn't their daughter live with her mom? Why would the attorney let her sister stay under the same roof as her ex husband and not with her? Why does the attorney never really interact with her daughter? If you can look past some minor holes then you should still check it out. This movie did more things right than bad in my opinion.

The only thing that saves this movie from being a complete waste of time in my opinion is that it keeps you genuinely interested with intriguing scenes for a majority of the time and the solid performances from the actors, even though they didn't have much to work with. What ultimately kills it though is the lack of substance behind the writing and directing. My first big problem was the characters silly actions (mainly the teenage boy). He doesn't act his age whatsoever, he comes across more like a 7 y/o, not 17. He makes thoughtless action after thoughtless action to the point where I was questioning if he was mentally handicapped. The other characters made weird, illogical choices from time to time but for the most part they were forgivable, except in a couple of scenes where the main female character had multiple opportunities to save her husband by shooting a man (she barely knows) that was about to kill him, but instead she decides to hesitate for no good reason.

My second and last huge problem with this movie is that it is a little too vague. We are told absolutely nothing throughout the entire film about what "Comes at Night", the disease people catch, how many people are estimated to still be alive, and when this all started. We basically end the movie where we begin, there is no message or complete story told. Again it's not the worst movie ever if you're watching it for free because it it has a lot of potential in a few areas but it is nothing worthy of paying to see. At the end of the day it kept me interested the entire duration and that's more than I can say for a lot of movies, so if you're on Netflix, demand, or a free movie sight and you want to see a dark thriller (this is not a horror) and kill some time with friends/family but also want to stay entertained and yell at the tv a little, throw this on. If you want to see a serious movie that is actually good or scary with a fulfilling ending, stay far away from this movie.
