What KNOCK AT THE CABIN Is Really About

The movie annoyed me greatly. Your explaination makes it all worse because apparently, the book did everything I wanted the movie to do. I haven't even read it and I'm pissed at what Shyamaln did to it xD

👌

Why do the 'horsemen' kill themselves?

There is a twist at the end of Unbreakable though.

Who gonna make Purge be like- comeon...let us have fun😢

Could there have been a 5th horseman

It’s about the Book Of Revelation the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and the coming mass depopulation of earth

The concept and foundation was good, execution by director was a 5/10 for me.

👍👍👍👍👍 as always!

"family" lol...

Not ready to hear out Thanos? Isn't that exactly what they end up doing? Sacrifice yourself or else? The world is being held ransom for their sins apparently, but not for its own, right?

You know what this movie really is about? How stupid, wrong and insane the apocalypse and all of the logical fallacies of God in the bible are. It's supposed to put a bad taste in your mouth about God's sense of justice and arbitrary requirements of human beings. God never takes responsibility for humanity but always holds them accountable for their actions. It's completely insane. It's a really bad religion, full of genocide, collateral damage, divine wrath, and human sacrifice. Only an innocent child would accept it. A wise adult would know better. The worst part about it is the shame you feel after realizing how naive you were to believe in it.

I think the two distinct endings have interesting implications. The movie is ironic in that it offers hope through human sacrifice. Likewise, the book is ironic as well, in that it offers hope through nihilism. These are inversions of traditional values. We usually associate human sacrifice favorably because of Jesus. We usually associate nihilistic rejection of arbitrary religious beliefs as a failure of humanity.

Wow, I had no plans to buy a ticket but now am doing so. This so-called Mr Onetake sure has an uncanny ability to influence where I spend my substantial cash reserves--I simply can't help but purchase anything they mention!

My issue is that the movie still obfuscates reality: I left the theater discussing it with a friend and came to the conclusion that the movie doesn't clear up whether or not Armageddon is occurring, that these four are actually the four horsemen (even if some characters say they are). There's no way of truly knowing whether what these four say is legitimate or simply their collective delusion.

Analysis level :: perfect !

This is blasphemy

Great work! The most thought provoking movie of the year!

Tremblay's novel ending decided to ground itself in reality. No supernatural beings here. The movie delves the audience deep into magical thinking. Anything is possible. It's the difference between Nolan's Dark Knight and Snyder's Man of Steel. If you recall, a whole lot more people died in Snyder's Metropolis than in Nolan's Gotham. The novel's ending was far more merciful to humanity as the movie's ending puts us in reality where humans are so tiny and helpless against these omnipotent supernatural powers.

Movies was entertaining

M. Night Shyamalan is my favorite movie director and producer, I absolutely adore him and will watch anything this man makes. All 100% of his movies and series are in my favorites list. So it pains me to say that the execution of this movie wasn't strong enough and this definitely is not his best work. I was very excited to watch this movie, but was a little disappointed, wasn't convinced with the plot, the ending was ambiguous and I was left with so many questions. And it has nothing to do with expecting a crazy twist in the end or anything. I love Split and Unbreakable which have almost no twists, but rather a different perspectives on the familiar stories, so it's not about the thrill or expectations. I just feel the story could have been exploited better. For example - whatever the 4 horseman represent - they are still humans, they were not some divine beings sent from above. So, let's say a person start seeing all this crazy visions - wouldn't psychiatrist be the first choice? Or at least therapist? Wouldn't they be put on medication instead of searching on internet for someone with similar visions? I understand they saw each other in the visions too, but how did they know they are real? Maybe other people were also hallucinations? Ok, now, let's say they found each other and convinced each other of the visions - why would they willingly sacrifice themselves? It's not like they served in the church their entire lives and learning about divine and biblical stories and God etc.. it's not like they were preparing they entire lives to sacrifice themselves. How can they just go and do it? Leave their kids behind? Can you imagine yourself in that position? Wouldn't you rather convince yourself that you are crazy and take a pill? Also, if they came in peace, why were they carrying weapons? They could have leave it outside and come inside to talk first. If Eric was all love and no anger - why wouldn't he stay instead of Andrew? Wouldn't it be better for the girl? Also, how are they going to leave knowing that if all this was true, their slow decisions have killed millions of people? Andrew was traumatized for years because of the fight in the bar, so what happens now then? Will he go straight to the mental hospital? And what is the movie actually about? Faith? Or punishment? Or sacrifice? Or family? Or love? Or rapture? Or belief system? I don't know...

Soooo the writer is a weak, bizarre leftist..?

I thought the film was just pushing male homosexual Christianity as the most powerful form of love. Weird.

Okay first off no one is homophobic no one fears queers as the saying goes they just disagree with it. Why is everybody controlled by the elite agenda to brainwash everyone. You have to add that to every damn show and movie how pathetic is it.
Everyone has the right to agree or disagree like not like that's the way the world is. Ridiculous
