Knock at the Cabin

Knock at the Cabin
From visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan comes a thriller about a tight-knit family who are taken hostage by four armed strangers while vacationing at a remote cabin. The visitors, led by Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), demand that the young girl and her parents make an unthinkable choice: to save their family or save humanity.

M. Night delivers a straightforward but tense and emotional thriller that poses the question: Would you sacrifice your family to save the world?
Somewhat surprisingly, there’s not much else to it. Bautista and Groff stood out as exceptional performances. Bautista particularly impresses me with each new role. This is probably the best executed Shyamalan cameo of all his films. Really enjoyed this film though and feel like it’s one that would get better on rewatch. 3.5 for now but leaving room to grow. I’m probably watching it again with the family this weekend.
