It’s impossible to scare off true horror fans with even the most terrifying films. But the wrong one can make a wimp like you very unhappy. Do not worry; the Scaredy Scale on Slate is here to assist you.
We’ve developed a rigorous, usually spoiler-free method of evaluating and contrasting modern horror films with genre classics on a 10-point scale. And since different people are frightened by different things—some can’t handle jump scares, while others are more tormented by psychological terrors or can’t take arterial spurts.
The latest film from The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan, Knock at the Cabin, is evaluated using the Scaredy Scale. Knock’s potentially horrifying idea is parred for the course of the filmmaker of Split and Old, a movie about a beach that turns you old.
Eric (Jonathan Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldridge) are on vacation with their 7-year-old daughter when they are approached by four strangers led by the burly but mellow Leonard (Dave Bautista). Their message is straightforward: one of their three family members must willfully kill the other or the world will end

‘knock At The Cabin’ Review: Who’s There? The Apocalypse
When a young girl goes out to the forest to collect grasshoppers, she runs into what, if this were a children’s novel, might be called a friendly giant. His massive arms are inked all over, and his manner strikes an amiable balance between soft and scary.
Leonard’s new friend is an upcoming eighth grader named Wen. Given that this is a film by M. Night Shyamalan (and a decent one, all things considered), a malevolent air permeates the initial stages of their meeting.

The close-ups are disturbing, and the colors are uncannily vivid (Jarin Blaschke and Lowell A. Meyer are responsible for the 35-millimeter cinematography). Herdis Stefansdottir’s score reeks of foreboding. There’s a terrifying event on the horizon.
As a result, a classic example of hypothetical ethical disputation known as “the Trolley Problem” arises, which will be familiar to anyone who has studied philosophy or who enjoys heated online debates.
If you had to choose between saving five people on the other track and running over one with a trolley, which would you do? Leonard (Dave Bautista) presents a twist on the original plan that is both broader and more personal for Wen (Kristen Cui) and her family.
