![]() The end of the movie arrives with a harrowing rainless thunderstorm that threatens to set the entire Earth on fire, just like the cultists said it would. All this gives the cult members and their message an air of doubt that lends the movie its uneasy, gripping tension.īy making the end of the world seem so clearly at hand, Shyamalan uses his own reputation against viewers, daring the audience to anticipate an “everything was fake the whole time” twist they might think they see coming from a mile away.

The book and movie both tell the story of a couple and their young daughter on vacation in a rural rental cabin, until four people in a doomsday cult break in and claim that the family must sacrifice one member or the world will end. Knock at the Cabin adapts a 2018 novel by Paul Tremblay, The Cabin at the End of the World. But in his latest movie, Knock at the Cabin, Shyamalan finds one of his smartest and best twists yet by engaging with his own reputation. Even as the director has moved away from the earth-shattering, movie-defining twists that shaped his early films like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and The Village, he couldn’t entirely resist a few eleventh-hour swings in movies like 2016’s Split or 2021’s Old.
