"It" did not come at night or in the morning or the late afternoon or even at super time. The moral conundrum a family faces and the choices they have to make are certainly poignant & technically *spoiler* a dude did come to the house at night but if the "It" is really just other people and the long & short of it is that given the right circumstances, we have the capacity to end up being worse than what we're afraid of... I find it lacking.
