Storyline

James, a new postman, has a special delivery for Kristy Jordan at a weathered cabin in the dense woods, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. However, she's nowhere to be found and the place seems deserted, apart from Kristy's best friends, Ashley and Lyndsey. As James and his friend try to make the best of a bad job--and maybe--have a good time with the girls, the definite presence of a mysterious entity in the thick moonlit forest brings chills down the spine. Could it be their disoriented friend, or is it something far more sinister lurking in the shadows?

User Reviews

Who wants to see something gross and utterly senseless?

In case you are - like me - a lazy person who solely selects movies based on the title and poster images, chances are fairly high that you'll assume "Tonight She Comes" is a good old-fashioned throwback 80s slasher. Well, if it's a slasher you seek, than you should certainly not watch this movie! Everything looks promisingly familiar during the first 15-20 minutes, with a remote lakeside cabin setting and the introduction of four lead characters (2 guys and 2 girls) that are dumb, horny and basically just begging to get slaughtered in the most painful ways imaginable. They indulge in mindless sex and alcohol, although they should be looking for their friend Kristy, the girl who owns the cabin but is nowhere to be found. Then, suddenly, "Tonight She Comes" turns into a bizarre and disgusting mixture of body-horror and demonic possession flick, but unfortunately it's nothing even remotely resembling the original "The Evil Dead". Kristy does return to the cabin, butt-naked and covered in blood, but she apparently has a different type of rancid party in mind. As it turns out, Kristy was the victim of some sort of satanic ritual that a deranged father performed, together with his son and daughter, in an attempt to resurrect their dead mother. To make it things even crazier, the son (Philip) and daughter (Felicity) revolt against their psycho daddy and team up with the dumb kids. Admittedly all this doesn't sound half-bad, and "Tonight She Comes" easily could have been a decent horror sleeper, if only it wasn't filled with imbecilic and irritating defaults. Writer/director Matt Stuertz seemingly improvised the script whilst he was filming it, because 98% of the events are sheer random and utterly senseless. The character say or do things that are entirely against human nature, but that appears to be the standard in low- budget horror nowadays, and the film is full of continuity errors. For instance, except if the moon shines particularly bright in these parts of the woods, there are constant goofs with the daytime/nighttime switches. It's dark when they battle Kristy outside, but when they try to keep her locked out of the house five minutes later, bright sunlight shines through the windows of the cabin. Another thing Stuertz should consider in the future, if he intends to continue making movies that is, is perhaps hiring a more professional editor, as his own work is this section is badly amateurish and pitiable. "Tonight She Comes" certainly delivers in the blood & gore department, but it is bloodshed of the most gratuitous and repulsive kind. The film is quite gross without ever being able to genuinely shock or frighten. Remarkable though, even if not a slasher, the best death scene of the entire film is a blatant copy/paste of one of the cruelest kills of Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th". I believe it was in part VI ("Jason Lives!") that he pulled the trick with the sleeping bag and the tree before.
