Knock At The Cabin (Released 2/3/23)

Knock at the Cabin is the newest movie from M. Night Shama... Shamala... The guy who ruined The Last Airbender movie!! I will say this movie was an interesting watch. Throughout the whole movie, you are trying to figure out if the "bad guys" are cray cray or genuinely trying to prevent the apocalypse. Some things the group does makes you think they genuinely don't want to do this and are genuine in their mission. Other things they say will make you think "wait a second, this doesn't line up right". It's a back-and-forth the whole time. You feel bad for both sides of the situation. The real question is, are you a cult regardless of whether what you say is true or not? They definitely have culty vibes regardless. The characters are well done, and the story is fun to try and figure out the truth. It did feel like a long movie despite only being about an hour and 40 minutes long. I definitely recommend the movie if you want to go see a thriller. Otherwise, it won't hurt to wait until it is on a streaming platform or at your nearby Redbox.
