KnockAtTheCabin Review: Shyamalan Delivers Thought-Provoking, Intense Horror
M. Night Shyamalan is back with Knock at the Cabin, a horror mystery that transpires in one location and ramps up the tension in interesting ways. Based on The Cabin at the End of the World, the 2018 novel by Paul G. Tremblay, Shyamalan’s latest film — co-written by him, Steve Desmond, and Michael Sherman — is harrowing and intriguing. Though it lingers on the surface with regard to its themes, it builds upon the fear and tension that so clearly permeates the film.
Knock at the Cabin’s tension is great, though it peters out after a certain point because the audience begins to know what to expect. Shyamalan isn’t so much concerned with the twists here so much as the thrill of not knowing, letting the uncertainty wash over the audience as they begin to question everything about what’s going on. There are violent instances, but the film’s R rating seems unwarranted considering that most of the brutality is implied and heard rather than actually seen.
