Save your family or save humanity. Could you make the choice? That’s the latest freaky proposition from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (“Signs,” “Unbreakable,” “Split”) in his latest film, “Knock At The Cabin.” A mystery horror, as Shyamalan is wont to do, the film centers on a girl and her parents who are taken hostage while vacationing by armed strangers who demand that the family make a choice to avert the apocalypse.
The film stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint, the latter of whom is already part of Shyamalan’s Apple TV+ series “Servant.”
