Watch Tonight It's You

Tonight It’s You is a horror movie that revolves around two men whose sexual encounter takes a strange turn when they unknowingly summon a supernatural entity. This independent movie was directed by Dominic Haxton and written by Adam Buchalter. The story revolves around CJ (played by Jake Robbins), a young man who is looking for a hook-up on a gay dating app. He connects with a man named Dustin (played by Roy Allen III) and sets off to meet him at his secluded cabin in the woods. However, things take a strange turn when CJ finds out that Dustin has a secret agenda. Dustin is not interested in sex but wants to perform a ritual to summon a demon.

CJ agrees to stay with Dustin for the night and participate in the ritual. After Dustin appears to contact the demonic entity, strange things begin to happen. CJ starts hearing strange noises and begins to see flashes of images that he cannot explain. As the night unfolds, CJ realizes that he is in great danger and that the supernatural entity is after him.

Throughout the movie, both characters struggle with their sexuality, as well as the power dynamics of their relationship. The allure of sexual pleasure is at odds with their innate sense of self-preservation. They are torn between the desire for love, and the fear that they will lose their lives.

The film takes its time in building tension and horror through its slow pace, long silences, and excellent sound design. It is both nuanced and explicit in its portrayal of homosexuality, where queer anxiety blends in with a sense of horror. The movie also sparkles with quite a few moments of dark humor, offering some comic relief in a tense atmosphere.

The leads are exceptional, with Allen delivering a nuanced performance that captures the desperation and darkness of his character as he obsesses over the paranormal. Robbins plays CJ with an air of vulnerability that propels the movie forward, as he tries to navigate the supernatural circumstances he finds himself in.

The cinematography of the movie is striking, capturing the isolation of the cabin and the depth of the forest. It captures the fear and claustrophobia of the situation and keeps paranormal occurrences feeling grounded in the real world.

While some audiences may find the movie lacking in terms of jump scares or gore, the movie's hypnotic atmosphere is enough to ramp up the suspense and fear. The filmmakers rely heavily on atmosphere and the relationship of the two leads to create a lasting impression on the viewer.

Overall, Tonight It’s You is a great horror flick that explores the horror sub-genre with a fresh and queer lens. It is a slow burn of a movie that builds to an unforgettable climax and ending. The movie might not appeal to everyone, but for horror enthusiasts looking for something new or daring, this movie is a must-see.
