Knock at the Cabin movie storyline. While vacationing at a remote cabin, 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.
From visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, Knock at the Cabin stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, newcomer Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn and Rupert Grint. Loosely based on Paul Tremblay’s 2018 novel “The Cabin at the End of the World,” “Knock at the Cabin” will follow a family taking a vacation in a remote cabin in the woods, when they’re taken hostage by three strangers claiming to stop the apocalypse.
Your surprise ending, never know what’s going to happen, twisty as hell friend M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie has been announced and our boy is going back to the genre that loves him best, horror. While we don’t have a ton of information about “Knock at the Cabin,” there are some clues scattered around the internet that paint a fuller picture of what we can expect from the famous surprise ending director.
One of the things we can definitely confirm about “Knock at the Cabin” is its release date. Shyamalan has been very quiet about everything else, but he’s been shouting from the proverbial rooftops that the movie will be released on February 3rd, 2023. Or, in the parlance of Shyamalan, 2.3.23.
The connection to author Paul Tremblay’s 2018 novel has been confirmed by the author himself. In an interview with CNBC (via Bloody Disgusting), Tremblay admitted that all parties had been contractually obligated to keep this news tightly under wraps until now.
M. Night Shyamalan may continue to be associated first and foremost with plot twists, but the director’s attention to detail when it comes to the technical matters of filmmaking might be an even bigger obsession of his. While “Knock at the Cabin” will keep its secrets bottled up until the very date of its theatrical release, Shyamalan himself has remained happy to provide his social media followers with plenty of fascinating and nerdy nuggets about the production.
Principal photography for “Knock at the Cabin” began on April 19, 2022, with the completion of filming officially occurring on June 11, 2022. Firmly in the post-production process now, it’s likely that a new trailer for the film will release sometime in the coming weeks or months as the edit comes further and further into focus.
If that seems incredibly quick, keep in mind that this is simply par for the course with this particular project. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Shyamalan has previously mentioned that this was “the fastest script I’ve ever written,” supplanting the previous record-holder: his alien invasion thriller, “Signs.”
