Critics Consensus

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.

The Ringer

Even though his spiritual successor, Jordan Peele, is reaching for the A-plus B movie torch, Night remains the industry standard.

Crooked Marquee

... Most of the pleasures of Knock at the Cabin arrive from two sources: Shyamalan’s masterful filmmaking and Bautista’s nuanced performance.

Huffington Post

If there is some kind of allegory on violence that is supposed to be going on in “Knock at the Cabin,” the movie and its story are certainly not smart enough for it to come to fruition.

The Progressive

For all of its focus on the faces of people in our presence, Knock at the Cabin never forgets people all over the world, the people whom we will never see but will affect.

Flick Feast

Quintessentially Shyamalan from its perplexing set up, mysterious narrative, and experimental filmmaking, it is as gripping as it is rooted in its convictions.

Lorrie K A great movie. The stars did not disappoint. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Adam D. Visceral and intense. All the characters were genuine and relatable. Felt like something similar to this could happen in the real world, not just the natural disasters but discovering the deeper meaning of life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Jennifer Didn't read the book before I saw it, but now I know there are some significant differences. However, the movie was edge of your seat because you wanted to know wtf was happening. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Maurice M. Knight takes me out of his movies every time he puts himself in them and I wish the ending was more ambiguous. Also, the characters tell you things that the audience can figure out themselves. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Clownsaregangsta my man Jason Stratham really put on a performance for this one. I am for sure buying this when it comes out on Blu-ray Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Shaneka Movie was terrible and slow…walked out Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
