The film is the latest work of Director M. Night Shyamalan who is known for films like The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002),The Village (2004), and more recently, Old (2021).

The plot follows a family of three as their remote cabin vacation is interrupted by four strangers who hold them hostage, whilst demanding that the family sacrifice one of their own to avert an impending apocalypse.

The film stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, and Rupert Grint, plus Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, and Abby Quinn.

And as often comes with Shyamalan's films, there's a mixed bag of opinions, with fans deeming it both the best and worst film of the director's career.

1. This fan seemed to love everything about the new film:

Loved KNOCK AT THE CABIN, Night's latest intense, personal, deeply, deeply weird examination of faith, doubt, and certainty, and how they each have the power to be both redemptive and truly unspeakably terrible. Stylish as hell, and Bautista kills it.

4. Another is here for Shyamalan's consistency with great child actors:

One of my favorite parts of KNOCK AT THE CABIN was Kristen Cui’s effortlessly endearing performance, and while watching it, I was really struck by how consistent M. Night Shyamalan is at getting great work out of child actors

5. One fan thinks the director consistently fumbles the third act in his films:
