Knock at the Cabin (2023)
From Oscar-nominee M Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Old), Knock at the Cabin is set at a remote holiday cabin, where a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.
A #1 box office hit in the USA, Knock at the Cabin stars Dave Bautista (Dune), Jonathan Groff (Frozen), Ben Aldridge (Pennyworth), Nigerian-born BAFTA nominee Nikki Amuka-Bird (Old), and Rupert Grint (Harry Potter’s Ron Weasley), as well as newcomer Kristen Cui.
Based on the bestselling novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Bram Stoker Award-winner Paul Tremblay, Empire Magazine says: “A harrowing, economical thriller that will sit with you for days, this is Shyamalan’s best film in years, and a calling card for Bautista in his strongest performance yet.”
