Knock at the Cabin / Film synopsis

The movie explores the theme of love conquering all, highlighting the power of Eric and Andrew's strong and unwavering love for each other. The nature of the apocalyptic events in Knock at the Cabin is left ambiguous, leaving the audience to interpret whether they were real or a timed coincidence.

Marketed as a psychological thriller, “Knock at the Cabin” is anything but. With constant religious references and predictable plot points, this mess of a film turns into an accidental comedy.

There is no post-credits sequence after the credits roll, but there is an Easter egg of sorts. At the very end of the credits, the name of the film, Knock at the Cabin, appears again. It's accompanied by the sound of Leonard knocking on the cabin door. Thump.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Although it's often less than scary and parts of the story don't bear scrutiny, Knock at the Cabin is a thought-provoking chiller and upper-tier Shyamalan."

No, the film is very much a work of fiction – adapted from the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay (although Shyamalan has made some major changes to the book's ending in his film).

The film ending is "slightly" different than the book ending, where the little girl is shot accidentally, thus not meeting the ritual requirements, and the two partners drive forth into that dark cold night, raging against the proverbial dying of the light (it is intentionally vague but definitely not hopeful).

In the end, it would have been revealed that the apocalypse was a hoax. But Knock at the Cabin didn't take that route. The big twist of this Shyamalan movie is that there is no twist.

The directorial choices, the storyline, the decisions made by characters were to be honest with you kind of blah. I didn't care enough about any of the characters to really care what happened to them. For a director that's known for his plot twists, this movie sure could've used one.

Is Knock at the Cabin sad? ›

Night's most frightening movie or his creepiest, although it might be his saddest. Knock at the Cabin is more interested in testing the bonds of family than he is making you jump in your seat. But if you're scared of crying, feel free to bump that up to a 10.

Knock at the Cabin reminds us that love and loss are both integral parts of life and that they must be experienced and navigated with care and compassion.

Just like in The Cabin at the End of the World, Redmond is the first one to sacrifice himself and be killed by his fellow captors in Knock at the Cabin—an act they claim is the impetus behind a string of tsunamis striking the West Coast of the U.S. A concussed Eric sees what he believes to be a figure of light at the ...

The higher power that Eric sees in the mirror during Knock at the Cabin is the same one that led Leonard, Redmond, Sabrina, and Adriane to the cabin. Eric has a vision of the future just like the others who the higher power spoke to, but he saw a future where Andrew and Wen were safe together.

This was a great psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It has suicide/violence which can be intense but it does send a good message about compassion and bonds we have with one another. Overall great movie and it is appropriate for anyone high school and above.

The figure that Eric sees in the mirror in Knock at the Cabin is confirmed to be some higher power. He admits in the 2023 horror movie that he first saw the figure after Redmond's death and that he could feel the being in him at the end.
