Knock at the Cabin - Somehow...Shyamalan Returned

[@RRTNZ]

Great review mate. You covered character, story and the filmmaking craft ( cinematography etc.) Not really my kind of movie, but at least I now know something about it. Cheers.

Thanks a lot RRTNZ! I usually enjoy thrillers with supernatural elements cause in 90% of cases when it's done poorly, it still makes for an enjoyable bad film.

Really starting to appreciate your channel!! Like the detailed nuance to your reviews. I hade the same mixed feelings about this film for all the same reasons. Still, I madly enjoyed the viewing experience. Despite all his flaws as a filmmaker - especially when it comes to writing dialogue - Shyamalan is a master in creating tension and atmosphere. Just turn to Old - another one that is super ridiculous on the premise and has some of the most wooden acting in recent years - but had me enjoy every second of it! Keep up the good work. I'm subbing right now.

Thank you kindly, I'm glad you're loving what I have to offer! I agree with you, Shyamalan knows tension & can turn even the weirdest of scripts into something that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. It is a talent! About, Old, I think I might agree again, I've only seen it once but I remember a LOT about the film, which says something. I appreciate you a lot mate!

His work has been so spotty lately I ignored this completely. But this convinced me to give it a shot!

I always enjoy M Nights films. I'll keep an eye out for this one. Great review.

[@TheUninspiredReviewer]

As do I, even the worst ones I manage to find something fun about. Gracias Franko!

Maybe the worst movie I ever tried to watch was The Village. Then came Lady in the Water. Then came The Happening. But then came The Last Airbender(!). Then After Earth (!!). Ten years of WTF. The only director I can think of who can consistently stink this bad is Uwe Boll. However, based on this review, I'll watch Knock at The Cabin for tone and performances. A helpful review!

[@frankowalker4662]

Timm, are you mad ??? The Village was a great movie !!! What a twist.

@@frankowalker4662 Hi Franko. It's on my most hated list but probably the best of those I mentioned. Try The Last Airbender.

[@frankowalker4662]

@@spoiler321 Ha ha. The Last Airbender is on my to watch list :)

[@TheUninspiredReviewer]

To think Shyamalan has been releasing a film every 2-3 years since 1998 & only less than a handful are actually "GOOD". It's insane to think he still rakes in enough money to keep producing all of these. Ah yes, but see Uwe Boll is a special kind of entertainement, his art transcends Cinema itself! Give it a watch, hopefully you enjoy it.

[@TheUninspiredReviewer]

It should be "off" the watch list Franko, spare yourself the torment!

I really do like this movie, but like you said it does stumble in the last 15 minutes. It kind of wants you wanting more to happen, which may have been what he wanted.

[@TheUninspiredReviewer]

Yeah those last 15 minutes really put me off, specially for Ben Aldrige's character. I doubt, I think we just are expecting more because its Shyamalan & even "Old" had a little twist at the end. This one was just straightforward start to finish, which, for Night is an anomaly.
