Wissenswertes
In a 2023 interview with Screen Rant, M. Night Shyamalan explained how he came to cast Dave Bautista: "I thought, 'This is an impossible role. A GIANT who can emote and do 30 pages of monologues. This doesn't exist, this person doesn't exist!' And then I was like, 'Wait a minute, what about that guy in Blade Runner 2049 (2017)?' I don't know much about wrestling, so it wasn't like I had that in my head, and probably if I did I might've been blinded to the fact that this person was an amazing actor... They said his name was Dave Bautista and so I reached out, and then Dave reached out, and then we met. And when I spoke to him, I found a human being who was ready to start over again, take away all the success that he had and unlearn it and then start over... He just wanted to be proud of himself and I was like, 'I'm down, brother. Let's do it the right way from beginning to end' and he's like, 'I don't know if I can do this' and I go, 'But I do'."

Patzer
During one of the news reports, the Scottish reporter uses the term 'parking lot'. This term is not used in Scotland--they use the term 'car park'.

Zitate
Leonard: The four of us are here to prevent the apocalypse. We - and when I say, "we", I mean everyone in this cabin, can stop it from happening, but only with your help. Ultimately, whether the world ends or not is completely up to you three.
Andrew: You are having a psychological break of some kind.
Leonard: Your family must choose to willingly sacrifice one of the three of you in order to prevent the apocalypse. After you make what I know is an impossible decision, you must then kill the one you choose. If you fail to choose, of if you fail to follow through with the sacrifice, the world will end. You three will live, but the rest of humanity, seven billion plus... will perish.
Eric: They're lunatics.
Leonard: And you will all live long enough to witness the horror of the end of everything. And you will be left to wander the devastated planet alone. Permanently and cosmically... alone.
Andrew: Leonard. We haven't done anything wrong.
Leonard: I agree with you. You haven't. You haven't done anything wrong to... to deserve this burden. You're just the family chosen to decide for us in this time.

Crazy Credits
During the closing credits, the apocalyptic events of the movie are replayed in the background in different forms such as a flower with it's petals floating away, blue water waves, viruses, wire-frame models of airplanes breaking up, lightning bolts, and fire.

7/10

Pretty good film but a shame about the ending

In a world of sequels and IP M. Night Shyamalan continues to give us interesting and original stories. And he tends to get a lot of flack for them sadly. People want original content but then destroy it every time it comes along. It's no wonder we can't have nice things. 'Knock at the Cabin' isn't perfect, but it's certainly a fun ride.

The film starts out as a mystery. We don't know what is going on and everything seems very strange and is not making a lot of sense. It's a good way to start a movie. Then we are let in on what is going on and things become particularly interesting. It's at this point that you simply must turn your brain off to logic to get through the rest of the film. Because much like a lot of religion it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Where the film let me down was the ending. The book has such a thought-provoking and interesting ending. To get the movie made they were obviously told they would have to change that. It's very disappointing but it's sadly where we are in the world of film. Everyone is afraid they might offend the 1% so the 99% miss out.

Still though, the first 9/10 of the movie are a pretty damn good time and are well worth your dollar. 7/10.
