Knock at the Cabin

This is a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" movie, and a lot of us are already familiar with the premise and know what to expect. The funny thing is: "Is it though??" We are sitting here at dinner talking at length about the film and its story, dissecting many plot points and leaving with more questions than answers.... I really enjoyed it, although it may not be for everyone unfortunately.

Didn’t get the point really

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.
