High-concept filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan cranks out a new picture every two years or so. Still, in the last few years, he’s been extra prodigious. “Glass” hit in 2019, his series “Servant” also arrived in the same year and has been arriving once a year— coming to a close next year— and “Old” hit in 2021. And with all that, Shyamalan directed episodes of “Servant” too, and he has another film in the can. Arriving in early 2023 is “Knock At The Cabin,” a family drama and an apocalypse thriller that stars Dave Bautista (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) and Jonathan Groff (from David Fincher’s “Mindhunter” series).
The film also stars Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint.
