Analysis of several doubts

The first is the setting of the plot, which is also a place where many people are dissatisfied. But why these shots are foreshadowing, we are more used to the story of God mode, and this movie is actually told from the perspective of Travis and his father, so it is impossible to know all the so-called "truth". And it is this anxiety about the unknown that stimulates the perception.

So if you substitute yourself into the character while watching it, you will find the effect of these lenses. Like Will break in, what would you do? Should I believe it? Could the burning smoke really expose your location? If you have been skeptical like Paul, it is not difficult to understand the scene when the two sneak attackers were buried. Will said he has an older brother? Does this look alike? There is another older one. Later, when Paul asked Will to have a drinking routine, he found that he mentioned his father, which made people want to go back to this scene again. But what the "truth" is, there is no way to know, so sour.

In addition to Travis, many people also noticed that there are two beds in his room, and the picture on the table has a picture similar to that of his sister. So I can't help but think that my sister might be the first to be burned in the family, and Travis actually suffered multiple blows.





The difference between Travis’s perspective and Paul’s is that Travis has psychological problems and he will have hallucinations, which also led to the fact that when he repeatedly confirmed that he saw the red door open, we had to doubt because we saw It is not God's vision, but Travis's perspective.

The Red Door has two shots in front. One is Travis's mother repairing Will's broken door, and the other is the process of Paul locking the door when they come back from work. It can be found here that the key is not used to lock the door at home, again raising doubts about unreliable witnesses.





So a more reasonable explanation is that Travis pulled the dog back, and it was also at this time that he was infected with the virus. Several reasons support this explanation:
1. The door lock is not broken, so it should be opened by the person inside
2. Everyone in the room sleeps in their own room, except for Travis
3. Travis has lost multiple relatives and is sexually depressed. Losing the dog is likely to make him collapse.
4. The dog's hair is black and has symptoms of poisoning.
5. That night Travis began to dream of being poisoned.

As for why Andrew was in his grandfather's room, I did not expect a suitable explanation for the time being. Maybe Andrew also happened to be sleepwalking. Sleepwalking is common in children. This setting is likely to interfere, increase the acidity, and the painting of the room may also be.

The last is the transformation of the frame. When Travis enters the hallucinations, the frame will narrow, and as he wakes up, the frame will return to its original state. At this time, the ending place is very interesting. From the time Will counted 123, the frame gradually narrowed, indicating that Travis was probably already onset at that time, and what happened later was probably the last hallucination of his life. Refraction of uneasy behavior. So maybe in reality the Wills have successfully left.

Of course, there are many more explanations, but after sorting out the thoughts, it’s no longer so tangled~\(≧▽≦)/~

It Comes at Night quotes

  • Paul: I'm just going to turn through a few things. When we go out during the day we like to stick to groups of two, just for safety. The red door, it's the only way in and out of the house. That stays closed and locked all the time. I have the keys, this is the only set.

    [he shows them the keys tied around his neck]

    Paul: The most important thing, we never go out at night. Got it?

  • Travis: [as the dog starts to bark at something in the woods] What's he see? What's he see?

    Will: He heard something.

    Paul: Let's get back in the house! Now!
