I have to say this movie was surprisingly good. I was expecting it to be just another horror film, but it was much more. The entire cast was so very good. The film had my entire attention throughout the entire run time and then I found myself thinking about the film long after leaving the theatre.

To all the M. Night Shyamalan haters. This movie was great, it really made you think about what you would do if faced with the challenge of killing one of your own family in order to save the entire world. I loved the intense acting it made it more immersive. Wait for the Easter egg infomercial as is standard with Shyamalan’s movies :)

First of all, I’ve never seen a storyline like this before. Second of all, read my title. This movie is a tweak. It really gets you thinking. I’m not even religious or anything but I do feel like what happens in the movie is a possibility. Don’t wanna spoil it. Go see it for yourself. It’s good.

Great performances by Bautista, Grint, Groff, and others, but the story was so straightforward that the most surprising thing was that there were no surprises.

Confusing and filled with plot holes. I’ll always be a fan of early M. Night Shyamalan.

This movie seemed like it was pointing at gay people for ending the world. It leaned heavily upon gay themes and tropes, with a slow ride towards an unsatisfying ending. I wanted to boo but I sat through the mess and regretted not leaving sooner. Terrible.

M. Night Shyamalan can be too fuzzy, earnest and full of himself. But this doomsday thriller starring a never-better Dave Bautista as a modern horseman of the apocalypse confirms that the Sixth Sense maestro knows how to fill the screen with tension and squeeze.

Shyamalan’s latest cinematic confrontation with mortality and meaning, Knock at the Cabin, is among his best work.

More than just misunderstood, his characters are underwritten and underserved. Thus the expected emotion never arrives. The gut punch never comes, even as music swells. All of this fear fizzles; message, story, and figures become transient. It starts with so much promise, only to end as a letdown–like waiting for the end of the world only for the storm to pass.
