Peacock subscribers can stream Knock at the Cabin as of September 24th. The movie, written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, is based on Paul G. Tremblay’s 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World and centers around a young family taken hostage by four strangers while vacationing at a remote cabin. Asked to make an unimaginable choice by their hostage-makers to avert the apocalypse, the family is forced to decide what they believe—whether the intruders are telling the truth or if it’s all just a hoax. Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint star.
Why You Should Watch Knock at the Cabin
Knock at the Cabin benefits from a career-best performance from Bautista that showcases his acting abilities outside of the action roles he is most often associated with and is a can’t-miss for any fan of the actor. The film also marks a close return to form for Shyamalan. With a well-executed high-concept and thought-provoking premise, an increasingly tense atmosphere, in part due to the confined setting of the film, an engaging character-driven story that explores an increasing moral dilemma, and an exploration of faith and spirituality, Knock at the Cabin has Shyamalan’s signature elements written all over it. The overall creepy and suspenseful narrative makes it a perfect movie for Halloween movie marathons.
