    7. KNOCK AT THE CABIN

    Knock knock. Who’s there? It’s just us, Christy and Alonso, with a review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller, “Knock at the Cabin.” Shyamalan directed and co-wrote the script with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, based on the novel “The Cabin at the End of the World” by Paul Tremblay. Starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Kristen Cui, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint and Abby Quinn.

    How is it that Dave Bautista is one of the most interesting actors of the past decade?

    Alonso. Your descriptions have been a bit spoilery lately. For this and All Quiet. Please assume people have seen no more than the first trailer.

    I read Paul Tremblay's book and I much prefer it to this movie. For one, Tremblay's book is more ambiguous and subtle and leaves the reader with more questions than answers which I think is a much better approach when talking about religious ideas like this.

    The original novel raises so may important questions, like how do fake news and hate crimes affect people and the world? can a gay couple and an adopted child be a real family? how do gay people see the world? do the minority always have to give up their human rights to benefit the majority? Even though the storyline is open-ended, the book provides us solid answers to those questions. In the film with the completely rewritten second half of the story, no question is raised and no answer is provided. It has NO POINT at all. What a waste of talent of these actors...

    Christy makes a good point that showing us what’s happening in the world on the TV seems to detract from the suspense of what is happening in the cabin. The concept of this movie sounds more interesting than what we get, but a least M.N.S. keeps it to a fairly short 100 minute runtime. While I like some of Shymalan’s movies I generally feel he tries too hard to manipulate the audience with some dramatic ending that often falls flat.

    Bautista has definitely been picking good roles, andi like the comments he's made about those choices. He seems to actually care about acting and isn't just in it for the bag.

    I'll wait for streaming to check this out. I haven't seen an M. Night film in theaters since Split, which is his last film I actually liked.

    I noticed this was rated R, and it's Shyamalan's first R since the Happening in 2008. PG-13 certainly isn't a hindrance to his lack of critical success in the last 15 years.

    I read somewhere that Spielberg refused to include any news reports/reporters in the script for ET. When asked why, his reply was "to keep the events of the story and the characters contained to that one town."
    I was so disappointed when Christy mentioned that they show reports of Tsunamis et al. happening on TV. I think it takes away from the contained nature of the film.
    I was really looking forward to this one. Can't trust Shyamalan ig. Can't help but feel that this film would've been so much better if someone like Alex Garland wrote it.

    Boy, this is the first time I so disagree with you both. I really liked this movie, and I was totally invested in it from the get go. I truly feel you both are wrong this time.

    Shyamalan's films have really gone down hill since Signs.

    Im always rooting for M. Night. I adore The Village and Signs and I genuinely like Old even though its pretty silly... I think I just have a high tolerance for his shortcomings but this one did nothing for me and just bored me to tears... Definitely one of my least favorites from him. Always look forward to the next one though!

    If a Korean Guy made this they would probably be saying it deserves an Oscar.
