*** SPOILER ALERT ***
It Comes At Night's "it" refers to no clearly articulated thing; "comes" presumably means 'moves near to' the house that features in the movie - a boarded-up safehold of which viewers are afforded only glimpses of one dimly-lit corridor with a red door, some beds, a kitchen table and a plastic sheet-lined foyer; and 'at night' is generally when the not very interesting events of this plot-free horror occur: a child is found out of bed and a door that should be locked is found unlocked, so the family of three who are in the house sheltering themselves from some sort of pandemic - a family who have only just spent the first half of the movie making the decision to welcome another family into the house - hysterically revisit that decision and after some unjustified violence, head back to sit at the kitchen table.
