Review of Knock at the Cabin (2023) by Tyrak — 03 Feb 2023
M Night Shyamalan's big twist this time is that he took the ending of the book and made it terrible.
Like, I'm not kidding, this movie follows the plot of the book it's based on almost *religiously* (hah), until the point where the original story had a major twist that lead into an interesting and dramatic end with a thoughtful message. This adaptation removes that twist, and replaces it with... Being predictable? I guess that's the twist?? That it's got a **** ending this time???
I genuinely don't know what the point of this film was supposed to be, but whatever it was, it was depressing and unsatisfying. If the concept sounds interesting, just read the book I guess. This ain't it.
(... Dave Bautista was an inspired casting choice, though, so he alone gets points on this one.
