The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan's latest horror flick, Knock at the Cabin, is set to hit theaters on Friday, and the review embargo has now lifted.
Shyamalan's movies (his more recent ones, at least) tend to be divisive, and it doesn't look like this adaptation of Paul Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World will be any different.
Though the film is currently sitting at a respectable enough 71% on Rotten Tomatoes ("Although it's often less than scary and parts of the story don't bear scrutiny, Knock at the Cabin is a thought-provoking chiller and upper-tier Shyamalan," reads the consensus), many critics have taken issue with certain aspects of the story, including its "self-serious tone" and supposed "faith-based allegory" themes.
Again, we'd expect nothing less from a Shyamalan project, which, at the very least, always provoke strong discussion!
Check out the most recent trailer below, and let us know if you plan on seeing Knock at the Cabin this weekend.
"While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse," reads Knock at the Cabin's synopsis. "With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost."
