That’s the terrifying dilemma at the heart of the apocalyptic horror film Knock at the Cabin, in theaters Feb. 3. Based on Paul Tremblay’s award winning 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie challenges its characters and, in turn, viewers to consider the implications of an impossible choice: save your family or, as the movie’s tagline puts it, save humanity.
At the center of the action is a tight-knit unit—married couple Eric Jonathan Groff) and Andrew Ben Aldridge) and their daughter Wen Kristen Cui)—who, while vacationing at a remote cabin, find themselves at the mercy of four armed strangers demanding they willingly sacrifice one of their own to prevent the apocalypse. Only these aren’t your typical home invaders.
The mismatched group is composed of hulking yet soft-spoken teacher Leonard Dave Bautista), concerned nurse Sabrina Nikki Amuka-Bird), motherly diner cook Adriane Abby Quinn), and brash ex-con Redmond Rupert Grint). We were called and are united by a common vision, which has now become a command that we cannot ignore,” Leonard offers upon their arrival. If you fail to choose, the world will end.” For the next 90 minutes, we become attached to the captives—then watch them struggle to choose.

Kate Winslet Puts Lee Miller in the Frame - Kate Winslet loves tables. She loves them so much that the Oscar-winning actor collects them.
Kate Winslet loves tables. She loves them so much that the Oscar-winning actor collects them. There is nothing fancy about these antiques, but they enchant her. "It's the knots and the whorls, the shape and feel," she says. "They can feel like old friends, and there is something emotionally charging about an old table that comes with a history-I find imagining what that might be enormous fun."
Alfonso Cuarón Goes Long - The Oscar-winning filmmaker finds pathos in our lonely present in his first TV miniseries
A perceptive, generous-spirited child draws on her imagination when she's subjected to the cruelty of a boarding-school headmistress. A lone astronaut, cradled in a damaged space capsule and having lost any hope of returning to Earth, experiences a hallucination that saves her life. A young household servant, abandoned by the man who's gotten her pregnant, miscarries-though his betrayal helps her define what family truly means to her. Loneliness, so universal it has virtually become trademarked the Human Condition, is everywhere in art, and in life: we tend to fetishize it, or at least dab it with a perfume of sentimentality. But Alfonso Cuarón, now more than 30 years into a wide-ranging career that spans pictures like the Frances Hodgson Burnett adaptation A Little Princess, the space reverie Gravity, and the memoir-as-film drama Roma, is more interested in subtle emotional textures, in gradations of feeling that are always specific to the character at hand yet also joltingly recognizable. And now he brings his big-screen, big-story gifts to a limited series, an adaptation of Renée Knight's 2015 psychological thriller Disclaimer.
