He gently extends his hand to shake Wen’s, evoking Frankenstein’s monster when he gifts her a flower. The film begins with Wen, who is catching grasshoppers in a jar when a stranger approaches: a hulking, soft-spoken man who introduces himself as Leonard (Dave Bautista). Married couple Eric (Jonathan Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldridge) and their adopted daughter, Wen (Kristen Cui), are on vacation in a remote lakeside cabin farther away from the main road than they expected and outside of cell-phone range. And, in typical Shyamalan fashion, the director and his co-writers Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman have deviated from Tremblay’s original third act, crafting a different ending for this story that reifies the apocalyptic stakes, rearranges character deaths, and reframes the novel’s considerations of dignity and sacrifice.Īside from tweaked character backstories and ages, Knock at the Cabin is fairly faithful to its inspiration until the ending.
After the horrors of The Visit, Split, and Old, Shyamalan is back with Knock at the Cabin, another genre offering based on Paul Tremblay’s novel The Cabin at the End of the World. Night Shyamalan has another film in theaters. Get the Robot Chicken “What a twist!” meme ready: M. Spoilers follow for the film Knock at the Cabin and the novel The Cabin at the End of the World.
Knock at the Cabin changes the ending of the novel it’s based on and suggests that instead of fighting fate, acquiescing is bravery - even grace.
