Knock at the Cabin

If you are a M. Night Shyamalan hater you are going to automatically hate this movie. If you re a fan then the opposite. Was this a good movie? Hell yeah this was a good movie. I definetly recommend a MUST WATCH!

I love movies like this so 10 from me. Reminded me of The Man from Earth for some reason.Liked the second guessing are they crazy who is correct .The ending felt a bit dry tho.
.

Interesting from a modern version of the bible (the four horsemen of the apocalypse) .. in my opinion, very good.

More like a 7.5, but I'll round up to 8. Regardless, I really enjoyed this movie! I was hesitant because sometimes M. Night does too much (specifically Old and Avatar come to mind). But this was a really well executed movie. Gripping all throughout, thought provoking, emotionally evocative. I'm truly glad I went to see this movie

I was expecting another home invasion horror, but it was so much more.
I really enjoyed this one.

Really enjoyed it. Cracking plot. Could of been more gory

Really enjoyed the movie, even though some of the things mentioned do not follow their biblical similarities it is a nice way to keep the pace going and the viewer interconnected.

The four apocalyptic riders was kind of in your nose, but the way they presented themselves, or how the first 45 minutes were acted out, wasn’t.
Kept us thinking and on our toes for a long time.
It’s done very realistically. No matter which side you’re on. Are they just delusional or is it real? In a situation like that, of course you wouldn’t just straight out believe some apocalypse is happening. It stands more to reason there’s some mass delusion. But is it? Eric having a concussion and seeing things was neat. Keeps you guessing as well.

And then it’s like… how would their sacrifice change anything? If it was meant to happen or already has happened, how would their sacrifice stop the “apocalypse”? At least with logical non-supernatural thinking it makes little sense. But with the supernatural one… yeah, ok.

M. Night Shyamalan is actually a magician disguised as a director! I say this because when you watch a magic act, you know what you are watching is not real. You know the goal is to fool you. The magician wants to ultimately insult your intelligence and make you question reality. M Night has similar motives in his movies. He takes obscure and unique situations to get you initially invested, takes you on a ride, and pulls the rug from under your feet. Most of the time, the ending doesn't really make sense and you question whether or not you enjoyed the movie. For better or worse, people talk about M Nights movie, discussing his "magic trick".

"Knock at the Cabin" is a clever magic trick. I know I want to watch this movie again to appreciate the magic trick of this movie! Is it his best trick or movie? I don't think so, but I enjoyed the ride!

Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend

[7.5/10] So, I expected this one would let me down because, as much as I like M. Night Shyamalan, I don’t love all (or even most) of his movies. But I actually loved this! I watched it alone with all the lights off, and had so much fun. It had plenty of suspense—I even covered my eyes a couple of times—but it also made me laugh and cry (more than once!). My heart was racing through a lot of it!

Dave Bautista kind of won me over in this. I’ve never been a fan of his roles before, but I really enjoyed him here. Others did a great job, too. With one exception, lol. And of course, being a Shyamalan movie, there were several things that made me go, “Okay, that’s a stretch.” But honestly, that’s part of the fun of his stories. They often seem like they should be realistic, but they really never are. Also, Shyamalan doesn't always show all the gore in his movies. Maybe audiences would like it more if he did. But I kinda like that his work feels more restrained in that regard.

[spoiler]The only part I didn’t care for at all was the very last teeny bit of the ending. Why didn’t they just let the movie fade out with _Boogie Shoes_ playing in the background? It was a fine moment to wrap things up, but instead, they switched back to the film score for those last 17 seconds. It kind of broke the mood. Honestly, I was cracking up about it![/spoiler]

[spoiler]And when they were going through the whole "malice, nurturing, healing, and guidance" thing... Well, that was pretty comical.[/spoiler]

Overall, I wish more people could have enjoyed the film like I did. I'm glad I spent the time watching this tonight!
