Knock at the Cabin 2023

Threat is the path to sacrifice, in one of those suspense exercises that are as well constructed as they are narratively ambiguous. I'm not sure if there is some element that may sound retrograde in this leap of faith to which the "modern family" must submit or, on the contrary, is a reflection of a paranoid society. But the spirituality that Shyamalan recognizes in his cinema becomes more explicit in this film, at the same time that the horror that faith causes to avoid the apocalypse becomes more unbearable. And this dichotomy between who believes and who doubts is the most interesting thing about a story that sometimes drowns in its own approaches.
