Netflix Viewers ‘Blown Away’ By Apocalyptic Thriller From ‘Master Of Twist Endings’
A gripping apocalyptic thriller from the ‘master of twist endings’ has left Netflix viewers ‘blown away’ since landing on the platform.
The film initially received mixed reviews, garnering a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, however, it’s since found a new fanbase online.
One viewer says: “You should watch this supremely well-acted, thoughtful, inventive and nerve-jangling thriller.”
Another adds: “Massively underrated for sure.”
A third writes: “Blown away…”
Somebody else comments: “Gnarly, psychologically gripping and thought-provoking.”
The 2023 title is directed by ‘master of twist endings’ M. Night Shyamalan, who has cemented his reputation with an array of suspenseful psychological thrillers such as Old, The Visit, and Split.
His distinctive style and knack for unexpected narrative turns have made him a favorite.
Alongside a well-known director, the title features a star-studded cast made up of Dave Bautista, best known for his wrestling career and roles in films like Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as Harry Potter alum Rupert Grint, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, and Kristen Cui.
The thriller delves into apocalyptic themes inspired by the Biblical ‘Book of Revelation,’ creating an intense and thought-provoking experience for its audience.
It follows a couple, Eric (Groff) and Andrew (Aldridge), and their adopted daughter Wen (Cui) as they retreat to a remote cabin in the woods.
Their peaceful getaway is shattered when a man named Leonard (Bautista) arrives, accompanied by three others – played by Grint, Amuka-Bird, and Quinn.
What begins as a bizarre encounter quickly spirals into a terrifying ordeal.
The intruders reveal themselves as embodiments of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and present the family with an unimaginable ultimatum: make a profound personal sacrifice to save humanity or face the end of the world.
This gut-wrenching moral dilemma lies at the heart of Knock at the Cabin, forcing the characters – and the audience – to grapple with themes of love, faith, and survival.
An adaptation of the 2018 novel ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’ by Paul G. Tremblay, Shyamalan’s reinterpretation adds an unexpected twist, offering a more conclusive resolution than Tremblay’s ambiguous finale.
This creative choice has further fueled discussions among fans and newcomers, solidifying the film as a must-watch thriller.
