As previously reported, the next movie from acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan centers on a gay couple and their kid fighting against some unwelcome guests.
Knock at the Cabin is based on the 2018 horror book The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. It stars gay actors Jonathan Groff (Looking, Glee) and Ben Aldridge (Spoiler Alert) as the parents who will do anything to protect their daughter (Kristen Cui).
The family takes a vacation at a secluded cabin. However, things take a dark turn when they’re held hostage by four strangers who demand they make the ultimate sacrifice to avert the apocalypse.
Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) are two of the strangers.
How about we take this to the next level?

The first trailer for the movie dropped three months ago. However, a second trailer arrived yesterday and it offers a whole lot more plot details… it’s also way creepier. According to Collider, this will be only the second movie by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) to have an R-rating.
Knock At The Cabin will hit theaters on February 3, 2023.

There is absolutely no way I am watching this. I’m sorry, because I appreciate that films are being made starring gay characters. But no way, José. I’m not going to sit in a cinema in a state of abject terror for 2 hours. If I really want to feel that way, why not just watch Fox News’ coverage of the Republican National Convention live online?

Trailer looks good, however, M. Night has made alot of crappy movies in the past, so very wary of any new films he comes out with. I will give this a shot when it hits streaming (I don’t do theatres anymore).
I hate the new title however, I think the title of the book is much stronger. They should have stuck with that.

You gays and they’s that don’t do theaters anymore even for gay movies, is why gay movies continue to flop and we get no representation. Take your broke a$s to the theater for 2 hours and take a break from Grindr.

At least this new movie was not dreamed up by him; a strong novel (although with an ambiguous ending) is a good start towards a better screenplay.

Spoiler alert: They eventually tweet about the intruders and get them cancelled,

Are they racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic bigots? That’s how you get cancelled.

M. Night Shyamalan is hit or miss. I’m wondering what the curve ball is this time. I hope it does better than “Bros.”
