I was largely satisfied with Knock at the Cabin. It’s not one of Shyamalan’s best works, but it’s where his style found a script that could properly present its positives, while keeping the negatives to a minimum.

In the end, the evangelism of the four kidnappers feels sadly unconvincing, rendering the captives’ decision rather a damp squib.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2024

For all of its focus on the faces of people in our presence, Knock at the Cabin never forgets people all over the world, the people whom we will never see but will affect.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2024

Quintessentially Shyamalan from its perplexing set up, mysterious narrative, and experimental filmmaking, it is as gripping as it is rooted in its convictions.

Knock At The Cabin is M. Night Shyamalan’s most straightforward film to date, and manages to be an intense, grounded thrill ride from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 12, 2024

[...] the power to love someone or something else profoundly allows you to make choices you wouldn’t make in either anger or hate. “Knock At The Cabin” is really about this power of choice.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

While the film can't quite stick the landing when it comes to the ending, we're not left devastated the way Shyamalan used to be able to flip things on it's head

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 5, 2024

“Knock at the Cabin” is a dumb story, but if there is any suspension of disbelief, it will be because the cast does their best to sell this Rube Goldbergian contrivance.

With the help of a superb cast led by the phenomenal Dave Bautista - career-best performance - the filmmaker explores the emotional complexity found in the profound moral dilemmas placed upon human beings when faced with life-and-death decisions.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 25, 2023

"Knock at the Cabin" is a well-made movie, and there's not a bad performance in the entire film. But Bautista steals the show...

Family and the bond it forms is in full focus in Knock at the Cabin, set against the backdrop of unexplainable beliefs and “Boogie Shoes” by KC and the Sunshine Band.

Knock At The Cabin is FANTASTIC. Top tier M Night Shyamalan that reminded me of why I love him as a filmmaker. Dave Bautista is PHENOMENAL & brings such humanity to a film that genuinely is the definition of life flashing before your eyes.

Knock at the Cabin is a tense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat with it's unique premise, and impress you with it's cinematography and performances. The outcome may be a little lacklustre, but the journey is well-crafted.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2023

Knock at the Cabin is middle-of-the-road fare for Shyamalan. It doesn’t reach his directorial heights, but is well above his lows. If nothing else, it’s still refreshing to see a director consistently swinging for the fences.

Knock at the Cabin isn’t completely fruitless, however it’s also unremarkable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2023

Even though his spiritual successor, Jordan Peele, is reaching for the A-plus B movie torch, Night remains the industry standard.

Knock at the Cabin marks M. Night Shyamalan’s return to form.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 19, 2023

For his whole career Shyamalan has crafted original tales and thrown them into the toilet. Now he takes somebody else's pointed, original terror and flushes it entirely with the kind of alterations that shows how little he understood about the book.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 13, 2023

By completely dismantling and radically reworking the third act, Shyamalan has ended up with a film that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 24, 2023

You almost always have to decide if you’re willing to accept the obvious problems in [Shyamalan's] movies in order to also get the truly great stuff.
