Dave Batista in the trailers sold me to see this. It's like John Coffey was actually as nuts people said he was.

I'm happy to see so many people saying Dave Batista is great in this. He's been a fantastic actor even back in his wrestling days, I'm glad he's really branching out to show off what he can do.

I appreciate a film like this that keeps you involved by constantly making you think about not only where the film is leading, but also how the script unfolds.

All the characters are morally gray in this film, which makes it interesting. They have no choice what they have to do.

I like the movie a lot but I thought the ending was a little anticlimatic. Plus it felt more faith-based than the devil conspiracy... Which is an actual faith based movie, right? Still not sure on that tho...

It's hard to talk about this movie without spoilers because that's pretty much the only thing to talk about... Are they crazy or are they for real? And then once the movie answers that at the end you're kind of like "....oh... Ok" lol.

I read the book and it turned me off of the movie. But I might still see it. Im assuming Bautista is Leonard so the fact he pulled off the nice caring guy is good to hear. The book really makes you believe that he believes which gives a real feeling of sympathy. But if the movie follows the book closely its gonna be a tough watch, because it was a tough read.

I read the book that it's based off of and it's a pretty solid book, but I would change the book's ending.

Knock at the Cabin will be the greatest M Night Shyamalan movie since between The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs.

Glad that Big Dave got a role that showed off his acting chops and it wasn't one of the really not good Shyamalan movies. Thanks!

If Shyamalan didn't have the ego to be a writer-director I really do think he'd be known as one of the best working cinematographers. For all that his movies may be whiffs based on the writing and dialogue, they always look fantastic and if he devoted himself to that full time I think he would still be a well known name

I'm mostly just seeing this to watch Dave Bautista act his ass off as a crazy religious loon. He's great.

Please do a review for the 1999 film "Wild Zero" - it is a comedy/horror film where part of the cast is made up of a Japanese rock group called Guitar Wolf. It sounds enjoyably bizarre, but can only be found on DVD and am not sure if I should buy it...

I liked the movie overall but I swear, one of the dads (let's say it's the one who doesn't get the head injury) really bothered the hell out of me. It's like, let's do the "Skeptic until the very end" character you see in supernatural horror movies and tack on self-victimisation. As someone who is gay, I've grown to really despise the "I'm gay, in your face about it and anyone who doesn't accept everything I do is just a hater" trope you see in gay fiction. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable movie.

Finally saw Knock at the Cabin
Had no idea it was based on a book
I thought this was good not great
Shyamalan is known for delivering good stories ripe with suspense and signature twist endings
This one felt like it was missing that spark he used to have
He does get great performances from Bautista shifting from his wrestling career to more dramatic parts
The little girl played by Kristen Cui brings good genuine warmth to the whole hostage situation
You can truly see the desperation in these peoples' eyes as they want this family of three to make a decision quick
Some of the cinematography is very good yet the extreme close ups are somewhat distracting next to some very standard dialogue
It's very bloodless when it come to the violence coming off as tame
Flashbacks do feel padding and there's dumb decisions by some of these players
But the acting is what really holds this together by everyone
The film could've benefited from a stronger script and more interesting story beats
Still it's a good moral on how we feel about if is humanity worth saving with a love story at the core
Anyone else disappointed that certain scenes didn’t make the final cut? That church one for example was only in the trailer

The movie is definitely well-acted out but it goes against the book and it just becomes mean-spirited and annoying because the book points out that they don't want to do a certain thing yet the movie does that certain thing and it just deffies the rules set in the book.
