M. Night Shyamalan is synonymous with films with unexpected twists and turns that leave you open-mouthed. Not always, of course, but it's one of his trademarks. However, it was easy to guess that Knock at the Door would not be one of them when it is an adaptation of Paul Tremblay's novel "The Cabin at the End of the World".
Nevertheless, you can give it a chance to see Dave Bautista in a dramatic profile, away from the action films that opened doors for him after his time in the WWF, and to take note of the name of a very young Kristen Cui who does a spectacular job. The rest of the actors are mediocre, with Rupert Grint standing out and failing to shake off the "child actor" tag.
But it is not a great film. It's slow, boring and predictable.
