"Knock At The Cabin" just continues to back my theory that nothing good ever comes out having a a cabin especially in the woods.
Time after time I've been proven right ever since "The Evil Dead" in 1981 and again in 2011 with the biggest parody of this genre from "The Cabin In The Woods" also Stephen Kings' "Geralds Game".
The king of the twist is not Chubby Checker its Director M. Night Shyamalan is back on the big screen for the first time in 2 years.
His last outing had people ageing rapidly on a tropical beach in "Old" and now four strangers commit a home/cabin invasion during the middle of a global catastrophe.
If you had to choose between saving your family or saving humanity. What choice would you make?
That's the moral dilemma two "Daddy's" have to make when confronted by 4 strangers: the massive Dave Bautista as educator "Leonard", "Servant" actor Rupert Grint as reformed drunk Redmond, Nikki Amuka-Bird as nurse Sabrina and Abby Quinn as cook "Adriane" and all carrying roughly fashioned weapons.
What choice or sacrifice would you make if push came to shove?
Shyamalan has has been busy making the exceptional "Servant" for Apple Plus TV...which is must watch viewing if "Rosemary's Baby" is your jam.
His latest feature film is also worthy of your watchlist.
Some of the clues to this new twist lie in the numbers of invaders and the predictions they make.
Sunday Bible study graduates will crack the so-called twist in a New York minute...others may struggle even by the ending.
The hardest thing to swallow in "Knock At The Cabin" is Bautista as a gentle second grade teacher, but it's possibly his best acting to date.
He was cast after Shyamalan was impressed by his performance in Blade Runner 2049 (2017).
"Knock At The Cabin" is based on the 2018 novel "The Cabin At The End Of The World" by Paul Tremblay which inspired M. Nights' screenplay.
Warning: Around the 30 minute mark you'll witness footage of a strong earthquake in the Pacific which creates a massive tsunami and may shock anyone affected by recent real life events in Turkey.
Watch out for: rising star Kristen Cui as "Wen" the daughter of the Gay Parents skilfully played by Joanthon Groff as "Eric" and Ben Aldridge as "Andrew".
"Knock At The Cabin" is a horror, mystery, thriller that will shock you and linger in your mind long after you've left the cinema.
