15 Awesome Summer 2017 Movies You Probably Missed

12. It Comes At Night

The Plot: With the outside world brutalised by a contagious disease, Paul (Joel Edgerton) and his family live in isolation in their country home, until another family arrives on their doorstep seeking aid.

Why It's Awesome: Though A24 unfortunately marketed the film as a more action-packed survival thriller, It Comes at Night is nevertheless one of the summer's most atmospheric movies, and it didn't need a huge budget to get there.

A slow-burn if there ever was one, the film bleeds dread from its every pore ahead of a shocking third act that's sure to satisfy those who dared to give it a chance.
