Knock At The Cabinmarked a triumphant return for director M. Night Shyamalan, delivering on the tension that the trailers (and Shyamalan’s track record) promised. The film is an adaptation of Paul Tremblay’sThe Cabin at the End of the World, and follows a group of strangers who show up at the door of a vacationing family and tell them that they must make a difficult choice in order to stop the apocalypse. It has been well-received by audiences and is a tense, slow-building ride, showing off the range of the cast in the ways they inhabit their characters.
Thecast is actually one of the big draws of the film, as it is not only perfectly assembled, but includes a few big names that viewers might recognize from other projects. It also includes actors whose work is not as widely known but is just as interesting and worth a watch. The cast works so well together, and so believably portray all of their individual characters, it would be great to see this film really launch them into new areas of their careers. Here are the past and future projects of the cast ofKnock At The Cabin, and where else they can be seen on screen.
