Knock At The Cabin Needed A Twist! – Movie Review

Yeah, the "twist" this movie offered was lame and was very predictable, but a solid story overall. I thought it managed to keep things interesting despite the singular location.

M. Night Shyamalan is the reason I wanted to work in the film industry, originally as a director, but then I moved over to editorial. I did watch this in theatres and honestly I thought it was decent compared to some of his last work. Is it groundbreaking, no absolutely not, but I'm glad he's putting his ego aside and trying to put out decent films again.

Just got the cock last night to watch Megan. And you were right. That movie fell apart and was not that good. Because of your review, I suppose I'll check this one out.

Overall, I thought this was a pretty good movie. Whioe the occasional awkward Shyamalan dialogue slips in here and there, a lot of the acting is solid and Bautista is a standout. There are a few things I would for sure change, maybe play with a couple of changes just to see if it works. I get why people have issues with the ending but I think it works. Plus, there are downsides if you become a director famous for twists and people are always expecting it.

Side note...I really HATE "Signs". I'm sorry

Yea I didn’t hate this movie at all, I think if they would have left if they were “them” or not a mystery like the book, it would have been way better

I thought a good twist might be that the two parents and their daughter were evil.
That maybe the 3 of them eventually and unwittingly bring on Armegeddon or End of Days or something.

But only the "Four Horsemen" know it and that's why one of the three have to die.

Oh, well.

The book its based off of i HEAR ending is different so I'm assuming its opposite of ending we got that would have been insane.

It's quite enjoyable and well shot considering how daft the plot is

Personally I really liked the movie. I saw it twice in a week and the cinematography, sound design, and performances definitely impressed me. I like that there's no twist, but I do think the ending could've been slightly stronger, but overall, I really enjoyed this one.

I watched it a few days ago. Did I like it? - Yes and no. There wasn't really a twist and it was more so about what exactly is the truth or what we really believe or sort of how can the media spin things. M. Night's signature odd and rather pretentious directing style was out in full force in this film. Dave was very good in the role, so that was a plus to see. I will likely never watch it again. I nearly forgot the full ending & I saw it a few days ago, so indeed it isn't memorable. There isn't much on streaming so it is worth a bit over 1.5 hours of time.

I preferred The Happening ;) Like all the proof was shown via TV - who believes anything they see on TV in the 21st century - so many ways to knock that stuff up on a home computer. Nice cinematography and acting I guess - and I wasn't bored watching it so there's that but never gonna watch it again (vs having seen The Happening about 3 times - Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel's stilted acting were directed so bad it mutated into something... special.

You should review puss and boots last wish if you have peacock. Family friendly and surprisingly good

Another agenda pushing pile of crap...No I'm not on that train...

The plot just wouldn’t work if the two parents weren’t both men, you know? At least the choice would extremely simple to choose, once accepted it had to be done… and that would remove a lot of the drama.

Glad I found you! I think I found your channel while doing a search for reviews of Mando season 3 ep 3. You’re hilarious and I would expect you to be going places if you keep doing and honing what you’re doing.

I walked away with the same assessment!

Yeah, not on board with the 2 daddies stuff. I'll pass just because of that.

The Happening was a solid flick

I think M. Night is VERY consistent with his films...in that they consistently suck. I like THE SIXTH SENSE and...
