Knock at the Cabin

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• “Knock at the Cabin does not disappoint. It’s a movie that reminds us why Shyamalan is one of contemporary cinema’s greatest alchemists and a prime example of a filmmaker at his best and boldest.”

• “The result is the most exhilarating and wounding film M. Night Shyamalan has made in many, many years.”

  Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 90

• “The result is a truly suspenseful film with a powerful, emotional ending. Again, it’s one of Shyamalan’s best.”

  Mike Ryan, Uproxx · 90

• “It’s harrowing to ponder, but a joy to watch unfold when told by someone with such distinct cinematic prowess.”

  Trace Sauveur, Austin Chronicle · 89

• “Released a little under two years since Shyamalan’s previous film, Knock at the Cabin plays like an old dog who learned new tricks. It’s a sharper, more propulsive and formally exciting dramatic thriller that has far fewer disappointments in storytelling and visuals than 2021’s Old while revisiting and expanding upon familiar themes of family that Shyamalan has explored his entire career.”
