Knock at the Cabin shows that the psychological horror thriller genre is well alive and can continue to thrive if more ideas like this are explored. Read more

It was engaging, impressively not overdone, and well acted, and is a further verification of this director’s comeback. Read more

A nice surprise early in the year and one that sees a director who’s often (rightfully so and not) seen as a punchline, slightly redeem himself. Read more

On a final note, the film is shot really well. Shyamalan puts more personality into his camerawork than he does into his characters. Read more

It’s OK, and intriguing in places. And it kept me entertained for its (very sensible) 100 minute running time. So it’s better Shyamalan, but not classic Shyamalan. Read more

This taut thriller eschews a lot of the more violent tropes in favor of its intriguing premise, but wraps everything in a religious gauze that feels odd and, at times, contrived. Read more

Knock at the Cabin is a competent little exercise in tension. It’s weird, traumatic, and violent, borrowing ideas from Knowing, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and The Mist as it explores thought-provoking themes of destruction, salvation, and sacrifice. Read more

Yet while we're kept gripped by the potentially looming apocalypse and the smaller human drama between Eric and Andrew, the film runs out of ideas in its final stretch... Read more

While Knock at the Cabin is somewhat of a step forward for M. Night Shyamalan when compared to both Glass and Old, I would not classify it as a return to form. Read more

This manipulative thriller only confirms that Shyamalan needs better ideas and smarter twists to overcome a creative crisis that has pestering him for decades. An artless film without the guts to bring the apocalyptic threat to life onscreen. Read more

Knock at the Cabin doet vermoeden dat regisseur M. Night Shyamalan eindelijk weer doet waar hij goed in is, maar voor wie met die verwachtingen gaat kijken zal ietwat bedrogen uitkomen. Read more

Shyamalan levert met Knock at the Cabin een prima apocalyptische thriller af. Read more

Nu leunt de film teveel op de goede vertolkingen waardoor de film zeker het zien waard blijft, maar je nergens als kijker het gevoel hebt van waar zijn we nu in beland? En dat had dit gegeven eigenlijk wel moeten hebben. Read more

Het plot schommelt en het eind laat voor sommigen misschien te wensen over. Desondanks krijg je gaandeweg toch een prima thriller voorgeschoteld. Read more

Uit de nieuwe generatie films van M. Night Shyamalan is Knock at the Cabin iets minder. Read more

Shaymalan werd in het begin van zijn carrière vergeleken met Spielberg, maar gedurende het einde van Knock at the Cabin kwam de naam Neil Breen steeds vaker in mijn hoofd, al was het alleen al om die belachelijke nieuwsitems en stupide dialogen. Read more
