M. Night Shyamalan‘s ‘Knock at the Cabin’ | Official Trailer | Starring Jonathan Groff, Dave Bautista (2/3)

[KevCo]

Is based on a novel so I wasn’t expecting a twist.

Yes but the movie is much different than the book. Glad he changed the end, cause with it being an M. Night movie, people would have probably been pissed.

Heres what happens in the book (spoilers for book/film)

Spoiler

Following Redmond’s death in the novel, Andrew escapes from the chair he’s tied to and is able to retrieve his gun from the car. He shoots and kills Adriane and then, in the book’s most heartbreaking moment, gets into a scuffle with Leonard that results in a stray bullet killing Wen. A downtrodden Leonard informs Eric and Andrew that Wen’s death will not stop the apocalypse, as it was accidental and Wen was not a willing sacrifice, before allowing them to tie him to a chair. Meanwhile, reports of new disasters continue to roll in on the TV.


Eventually, Sabrina kills Leonard and offers to lead Eric and Andrew to Redmond’s car and allow them to escape. Taking Wen’s body with them, the group heads to the car and Sabrina tells them there is still time to stop the apocalypse before shooting herself in the head. Eric, who has come to believe that the strangers may have been telling the truth, considers sacrificing himself, but Andrew won’t allow it. He tells Eric that he’s unwilling to cave to the demands of a god who wouldn’t accept Wen’s death as enough of a sacrifice and the two drive away together. The novel’s ending is ambiguous, leaving readers to decide whether the apocalypse was real or the reported disasters were simply coincidental.

The book’s story sounds way more interesting than what we got here. Let them be pissed.

Decent watch....had potential to be something more tho

I know it's based on a stage play but it felt very theatre at points of the movie, especially near the end where all the messaging of the movie became very heavy handed. I liked it though? It's M Night, I know but I dug it. Maybe because it shows both ends of religious extremes, idk. Need to read reddit today lol.

Bautista has become so damn good as an actor, he just impresses me with each new role.

Yeah Bautista is like the Anti-Rock/Cena.

He legit cares about the roles he takes on vs chasing a bag.

Rock has no acting range whatsoever.

I have zero interest in watching anything he is involved in unless it features Kevin Hart

better than old

Spoiler

weird as hell hearing Ron Weasley's actor with an american accent

i wish they would've killed that other homo andrew instead

when Eric was telling him all that shyt, you hear the shot and you see andrew shoot himself outta guilt

the M knight cameo was

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Damn the ending hit me hard

Solid movie, 7.5/10. It was goofy at points and had the usual M Knight problems with the hokey dialogue and shyt but it was good

I picked up early on that bearded cac was a belligerent domineering control freak and that would probably dictate the way the movie would go

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Damn…. Didn’t know this dropped. I would’ve went to go see it

 

[the elastic]

Even "bad" Shamalama films are entertaining and I love apocalyptic themes.

I'll be providing a review after my watch

Well, M. Night....after seeing your work at the cinema I only have this to say

Spoiler

 

[RickyDiBiase]

When Dave Bautista wins an Oscar, ya’ll know the Rock gonna break character and I’m ready for it
