This shares many problems that I hear people calling out IT COMES AT NIGHT for having. It doesn't flesh out its themes substantially, lacks scene-to-scene momentum and overall narrative drive, unprompted horror sequences with no apparent purpose, etc. I think this just needed a more concrete plot and more scenes with the central duo actually interacting (COVID-19 restrictions maybe caused a lack of this?). It is disappointing and a bit of a slog, but not without some good vision behind it. Some of the horror sequences utilize imagery and blocking in a pretty great way, and the scenes centered on Fivel Stewart's character have a much clearer sense of tone and purpose.
