If you look at most of the multi-star reviews, these people spend more effort talking negative about the rest of the audience who hated it instead of explaining why this bore-fest got such a high rating. But the title, description, and trailer are misleading. The only thing that comes at night is a 17-year-old's paranoia, and the couple having sex in the next room. There's no supernatural horror, no psychological horror, only survival drama ripped out of The Walking Dead, but without the zombies. It's a pointless movie with a pointless ending that will make you ask why you spent the last 1:30 watching a survival documentary. Theres not even any kind climatic build in the story.... it just ends. This is NO thriller. Listen to the audience, and not the reviewers who stoop the juvenile name-calling levels because they don't agree with the majority of viewers.

Not scary, not tense, boring and predictable. Only 2 stars for acting performances in this glib, been there done that "oh no ITS HIM thats actually sick" plot engine movie. Boring from start to finish and really making no sense with no attempt at backstory, the movie plods from one foreshadow of the son becoming infected to another until finally....HEY LOOK HE IS SICK WOW....spare me

This movie is presented like a straightforward post-apocalyptic horror movie. Though if you're looking for a straightforward horror, look elsewhere. The greatness of this movie lies in it's undertones and implied messages. It's almost as much of a drama as it is a horror. ICAN can be viewed literally and still be quite enjoyable, but I feel that a lot of the imagery and different aspects in the film are better taken as metaphors. On one hand, you have a family returning to frontier times to survive a virus that wiped out society. On the other hand, you have a family withdrawn from society and struggling to avoid outside influences on their home dynamic. If you're a fan of horror and reading between the lines, this movie is for you.
