Knock at the Cabin (2023) Movie Review + SPOILERS

10:03 this is the face of somebody who's about to spoil the book

I went into this movie blind of the original story...It didn't work for me. I was not attached to anyone but Wei, and they told us right away that she wouldn't be hurt. The story said there was tension, but since it was utterly straightforward, I was not tense.

When we left the theater I said to my boyfriend “there was no twist” 😂 i did like the movie, I hadn’t read the book but hearing what happens now I do agree with you that would have been better. My boyfriend actually predicted that to happen for the movie even though he never read the book.

I didnt read the book and i didn’t care for this movie. The movie felt like it had no purpose

I did not love this movie. The book is great; movie…very meh. I wasn’t super thrilled with the casting decisions either. Dave Bautista didn’t really do it for me as Leonard. I had a moment when I looked away from the tv for a moment when Eric (Jonathan Groff) was speaking and all I heard was Kristoff from Frozen 😂 I think he played Eric really well, I just couldn’t shake the Kristoff thing lol

Watched the first half of this when you posted it. Stopped when you got to book spoilers. Having JUST finished the book, came immediately back to this. I 100% agree with everything you said. I saw the movie first, loved it, so read the book (mainly because you recommended it) and loved the book even more! You’ve turned me into a reader again. Next up is The Deep by Nick Cutter.

From what I understand of the book, haven not read it, if Adriene saw Wen die and decided to stop the mission and killed Leonard and then Sabrina sacrificed herself, it might have been a better movie for me. They tried to keep if vague for the first few minutes of them all introducing each other, I believed them not fully explaining meant that they were lying. We saw the bar in a flashback and Andrew getting stitches, which made me believe that's where they all met. I also think the bar fight scene had both the harry potter actor and another guy to confuse us.

I haven't read the book and I really enjoyed the film. I do think the apocalyptic imagery was really haunting and agree that there film would have benefited from more gore.

I expected something more intense and I watched a movie that made me think "if christians had the balls to make a christian horror movie... mayyyyyyybe this could be that movie".

I can't be the only one who feels like the message of killing one mans lover saving the whole world feels a little bury your gays and mean. It just felt like a very cruel version of the book which was about two gay men overcoming everything that was thrown at them. They had been through a lot together and they had managed to adopt a child and have a life. But then the movie goes and says yes killing one gay man saves the World why couldn't it have been him killing one of the other people saving the world instead?

It felt like it was down to one of the gay men dying no matter what just to save the world and it felt very against them. In the book they even say that it was a homophobic driven siege.

So technically in the movie the homophobes win. 🤢

Book emding sounds lazy.

If it's still showing you news clips of ehe world essentially ending but the book end is vague, then it's being a lazy cop out.

im sorry, but i think this movie was not that interesting. It ended and I went, "that's it?". Like Leonard dying was impactful and he was interesting, but the other three didnt change anything really. And after Eric dying it was sunshine and rainbows, the end.
The questions I wanted answered weren't, and the questions I didn't care to ask were shoved at me multiple times.
flop at the cabin 4/10

I, for one, was glad that the ending wasn't ambiguous. I haven't read the book (so, that probably allowed me to enjoy it more). I thought it was a really good movie, and thought Bautista did a great job.

You look so great! Hope baby is doing good :)

Eyy

Sarah I'm not sure if you saw my comment on your last video, but I really think you were hacked because someone pretending to be you keeps hitting me up on Telegram for money. Keeps saying I won all this stuff from your giveaways but I owe $160.00 for shipping. I even got another message yesterday about it. I ended up having to delete Telegram, but I still wanted to give you a heads up about this.

I liked the first half of this movie but it just went off the rails, terrible change from the book and a shit ending. The acting was good though, especially Adrian she carried imo. It’s just a shame Adrian doesn’t get the role she does in the book

I heard this is similar to the 2nd cloverfield movie

Last movie I saw in the theater before giving birth was Men. Ugh. Lol. I didn't get back out to the theater until she was 5 months, hubby and I saw The Menu. I'm so glad you could get out to the movies!

I really really liked it until the near end. I preferred the ambiguity in not knowing if they were really capable of averting the apocalypse

I loved the movie. Bautista was my favorite (I'm a wrestling fan, so, no surprise there).

I think M was the wrong director for this. He's always going for the gotcha moment, and this story doesn't work that way. The change to the Wen part (trying not to spoiler too much) was just too much for me - it is THE pivotal plot point. I would have loved to see what someone like Ari Aster could have done with it, keeping it as written originally
