'But Armageddon, of course, is a bell that MNightShyamalan's been ringing for decades. This puts a certain burden of expectation on his latest, KnockAtTheCabin — a story based on the bestselling novel by paulGtremblay.' Read Leahbats' review here:

Knock at the Cabinfeels like a promise: a happy family having a bucolic weekend in the woods; four strangers at the door. Surely Shyamalan, notorious twist-lord of the modern multiplex, has a deeper plan for this. And he does mark the spot, at least, with casting: The loving parents are Eric and Andrew , and their pigtailed daughter, Wen , we see in tender flashbacks, is adopted from China, with a bright pink hairlip scar slashed beneath her nose.

When a hulking meat slab of a man who introduces himself as Leonard approaches Wen while she's playing in the forest, she answers his careful questions about her scar and her two dads warily; she knows she's not supposed to talk to strangers. But Leonard is gentle and persistent, and he brought three friends with heavy artillery: Redmond , Sabrina , and Ardiane .
