    In this video, we’ll discuss the HUGE problem with Knock at the Cabin… and why it’s such a disappointment.

    M Night Shyamalan’s latest film is billed as a thought-provoking, claustrophobic thrill ride, but unfortunately, it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. Sadly, Knock at the Cabin suffers from a lot of the same issues Shyamalan has struggled with for years, particular when it comes to the KNock at the Cabin ending aka the problem with M. Night Shyamalan. It’s not all bad, though. There are some compelling performances from Dave Bautista and Ben Aldridge, but outside of that, the new Shyamalan movie is one note, and surprisingly, albeit unintentionally, problematic with it’s handling of queer representation. In this video, we’ll discuss the problems with the film and how it ended up disappointing us- big time! Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Knock at the Cabin review and explains why Knock at the Cabin is a disappointment, the problem with Knock at the Cabin, why Knock at the Cabin fails, Knock at the Cabin explained, and why Knock at the Cabin is bad. Enjoy this Knock at the Cabin analysis and Knock at the Cabin ending explained video!

    The one thing M. Night proved to me with Knock at the Cabin is The Sixth Sense and Signs are still his best work and everything else is forgettable to me. Also you hit the nail on the head when you said sometimes M. Night... "doesn't know when to get out of his own way"...too, because you can feel it in the very dull pace of the movie. Another dud in my opinion.

    I wasn't bright enough to get the religious allegory or Adam and Eve thing. I was immediately awestruck by Leonard. Incredible performance and get a load of his wrinkly head! I got super annoyed though once Andrew got the gun and didn't immediately kill the two remaining people. SO DUMB. It made his performance nonsensical. The whole movie he vehemently does NOT believe the apocalypse is here. He is sure of it. Which means he thinks these people are crazy and dangerous, as they have already killed each other. So there is no reason why he shouldn't think they won't kill his family. Especially having a child present- if you're such a good dad and all that jazz, how the hell do you not put bullets in these crazy people before they go even crazier and kill you and your whole family!?!?! Really, it was at that point I checked out. Because the movie just became dumb at that point. And his pathetically weak line, "I'm not a murderer". Lame.

    I actually enjoyed it. I disagree with you I though the prevailing anviguity whether they are crazy or not was through the whole film.

    My main criticisms. 1. What was the "twist". 2. Could've done without the h000m000sexuals, its exhausting that they're (shoe-horned) in practically everything. 3. The kid should've been with normal parents, a mother and father.

    I don't get these visions. The lady talks about holder her kids while they burn but she gets killed in the cabin. Not by some fire that burns her family to death. She should of had visions of herself dieing in that dam cabin. It's like you have a dream of someone dieing. It's not true unless it's they really died that way. Not dieing of a heart attack 20 years later

    This movie was awful. A waste of time. I couldn't even finish it. So horrific. Lazy directors, lazy producers....just crap. All the directors/producers want to do is just make money without providing us with a proper storyline. I don't even know how this junk made it on any screen.😱😅

    His movies used to feel down to earth and kinda believable. Like what if you didn’t know you were dead? That’s something we all wonder about. There would be supernatural things happening but in a very realistic way. This movie starts off down to earth and takes a sharp turn into the sky and it gets goofy, then it starts to seem interesting when this all seems like a cult trying to convince this family to kill each other and potentially recruit one or two of them. But no, I guess it’s dooms day….. sigh….these four strangers are terrorizing the loving family. They help them in little ways, like rebuild the home they destroyed by breaking in and healing a character they fought with, but deep down this family didn’t deserve this, and the overall behavior from these four strangers is none the less evil. So why couldn’t this just be a cult? It would have been more interesting I feel if this felt like doomsday was among us, and how far some people will go to convince all of us that the world will be destroyed (reminds me of covid) and yet time goes on and the love of this family conquered all by believing in each other instead of the four strangers. Just saying, I’m not a fan.

    That's my biggest problem with 99% of Superhero movies these days as well. Most of these writer/directors aren't actual fans of the source material so they change too much to make it something THEY would like to see, while completely ignoring that actual fan base of said source material. Fuck filmmakers like that. It's annoying. I personally would rather see a good book, play out the same way on screen. To me it's always fun to see how it'd look compared to how I saw it in my mind while reading it. To watch something I read, and have the director just be like "Eh I didn't like the ending so I changed it." Is just a slap in the face to the original writer, and the fan base that enjoyed the original story.

    Always a joy to listen to your work. I personally quite enjoyed the ending and the emotional punch it was striving for but was too far gone by the time i got there for it to salvage the movie. Lol. Fantastic video as always. And BTW.. "obfuscate"? That is one HELL of a word! Amazing.

    This movie is pretty amazing and not predictable at all. It's obvious that this reviewer has a very strong bias that would lead them to rave about this movie if it ended in the opposite way that it does. This review is a weak simpleton's take on art, so take this lazy opinion with a grain of salt.....

    Utter crap and the story makes no sense. What is the purpose of them killing themselves ? If that judges mankind simply stop comitting suicide and the appocolypse is over. Frankly its boring and nonsenseical.

    I'm 38 years old, and doomsayers have said my entire life "climate change will kill everyone unless you bend to my will and adopt all entire political agenda". Greta Thunberg said in 2015 " the world will end in 5 years bc fossil fuels"... It's 2023 now, and she's had to delete that tweet bc she, like so many, are brainwashed. Every generation thinks the world will end in their time, and it never does. Climate change is a grift, invented by political interests to scare you into adopting their malevolent agenda. Ever notice how none of these doomsayers wanna plant more trees? Which would be the obvious solution to CO2 emissions? That's bc trees don't make corporations money. Solar panels do. How come all these elitists doomsayers buy beachfront mansions if the seas are gonna rise? How come they fly around in private jets, emitting CO2 at an incredible rate? .. That's bc they don't believe it and are just lying to you for profit.

    I'm not sure if you know this movie is based on a novel but this movie ending is changed and the novel has a sequel, because of the changes of the movie, the sequel is not needed for the movie.

    I respect his attempts at having his movies have a special message but at the end of the day, we want to be entertained and not come out wondering what happened. What made the Twilight Zone so good is that it asked the question in the beginning and gave an answer at the end. The Sixth Sense gave us answers at the end. It wrapped up the story line as to why he saw dead people. All his other movies leave us wondering "why?" and, unfortunately, not in a good way.

    Since the mechanics behind human sacrifices are completely void of any rational sense and logic, the only message of the movie is "God is psychopath!"!
    ...but everyone who read the Bible cover to cover knows that already.

    I didn't see an environmental message or connection at all. And the sacrificial element does not work because they're killing each other as if that's relatable. It's a really messy religious movie with nothing to grab onto.
