   I'm not sure why but I was super hyped and had high expectations for this movie, so, in the end, the plot was very disappointing for me. 1 year 6 months ago

   M. Night Shyamalan's take on torture porn, Knock at the Cabin feels most like Signs, a gripping thriller set during a "genre event" (here a potential Biblical apocalypse), showing us only the periphery (I'm sure Gerard Butler was out there trying to save the world), though it's actually the center of the hurricane. So far so good. Four strangers show up at a cabin in the woods, insisting the family there (a same-sex couple and their little daughter) sacrifice one of their own to stop doomsday. And all seven actors are quite good, especially the conflicted Dave Bautista, and the actors playing the couple (Ben Aldridge and Jonathan Groff), keeping a high emotional intensity throughout. This will be a test of faith and love and humanity, and for the most part it works. Had it sustained its ambiguity, it might have provided a shock to the system, but there's only really one way to go, and once on its tracks, you know every stop the train must make. There seems to be an attempt at inserting things that have greater thematic meaning (the grasshoppers, for example), but don't. I further dock it for the outrageously bad news reports that are crucial to the plot. They seem to have been beamed in from a parallel universe inhabited by bad actors. 1 year 7 months ago
