Knock at the Cabin Ending Exposed: Your Questions About M. Night Shyamalan’s Latest Film, Addressed appeared originally on Consequence of Sound.
In his latest high-concept horror thriller, Knock at the Cabin, M. Night Shyamalan assembles an impressive cast to engage in a suspenseful moral debate: Can you imagine if the only option to prevent the destruction of the planet required you to take the life of someone you cared about?
The film, which is based on the novel by Paul Tremblay, has been met with mostly excellent reviews so far. Clint Worthington of Consequence described it as “a terrific thriller that traps you in the centre of an unsolvable dilemma and leaves you, like its characters, to find out the answer.”

Leonard (Dave Bautista), Redmond (Rupert Grint), Sabrina (Nikki Amuka-Bird), and Adriane (Abby Quinn) are the knock-ees; they are four strangers who have had a vision of the apocalypse that can be stopped only if Eric, Andrew, and Wen each choose to sacrifice a member of their own family. (If Eric, Andrew, and Wen decide against making a sacrifice, they will all perish along with the rest of humanity.)
A Serious Preaching Horror Film “Knock At The Cabin”
Even if you don’t like M. Night Shyamalan’s movies, you have to admit that they don’t drag on too long and give you just enough hints about the twist to keep you guessing. Fortunately, Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin is shorter than his previous efforts.
Instead of being quick and lithe, it’s slow and ponderous, plodding around like an overweight elephant carrying a golden basket of fake spirituality. It’s suspenseful enough, but the tension it creates is the unpleasant type, especially because of the way a very young kid is shown some very horrific sights and experiences before having any conceivable effect on her waved away.
Something I love about KNOCK AT THE CABIN's marketing is that it's probably the first mainstream, studio LGBT horror film with a wide release yet it's not selling itself that way. Just a horror film that happens to have gay leads. Refreshing after BROS' marketing last year. pic.twitter.com/Ev0a3UV5pW

Even worse, it’s so anxious to be progressive in its social beliefs that it borders on regressive, as evidenced by the fact that the plot depends on the unique premise that a child might have two fathers. It’s possible that, more than scaring us, M. Night Shyamalan’s main goal with Knock at the Cabin was to try to alter our perspectives and values. However, even by Shyamalan’s normal standards, the product is clumsy and sanctimonious.
Adorably precocious grade-schooler Wen (Kristen Cui), dressed in a quaintly hip smock-and-sweater outfit straight out of a Scandinavian children’s clothing catalog, is hopping through the forest collecting grasshoppers when she’s approached, in characteristically foreboding Shyamalan fashion, by a heavy man in heavy boots.
