M. Night Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin" is home invasion horror with a twist

Mr. Night Shyamalan offers a different kind of home invasion story. The prolific horror director will release "Knock at the Cabin," an adaptation of the 2018 novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay, next year. The film follows an idyllic family whose woodland vacation is cut short when they are faced with an impossible decision.

In the full trailer released on September 22, two fathers (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) arrive at a remote cabin with their young daughter (Kristen Cui). The family's happiness is soon disrupted by the arrival of four strangers (Nikki Amuka-Bird, Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint and Abby Quinn).

"The four of us have very important work to do," says Leonard, Bautista's character. "In fact, it may be the most important work in the history of the world." Although the trailer doesn't give all the details, it's clear that the family must make some sort of personal sacrifice to supposedly save humanity from the apocalypse.

As with many of his films, Shyamalan also wrote the screenplay, this time with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman. Shyamalan's last film was "Old", released in 2021. "Knock at the Cabin" is set to hit theaters on February 3, 2023.
