Weekly Horror News: Knock at the Cabin trailer drops. Fairy Tale headed for movie adaptation.

 Imagine if the fate of the world was in your hands. The choices you make will affect the future. What would you do?

Pretty scary, right? Who would ever want to be responsible for the apocalypse? 

M.Night Shyamalan is back with another thriller called KNOCK AT THE CABIN. 

As rumored, the movie is based on Paul Tremblay’s critically acclaimed novel THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD. 

The novel was released in 2018 and continues to be on the best sellers list. 

THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD was about a young girl called Wen who is adopted by Eric and Andrew.

 

 While they are vacationing at a cabin near a lake, Wen meets Leonard, a rather large man who befriends her. 

It is when Leonard is joined by his friends that Wen grows wary and runs away. But Leonard calls out a warning, telling her that it wouldn’t be her fault no matter what happened next. 

Eric and Andrew are tied up and told that the fate of the world rests in their hands. They must make a sacrifice to save the world. 

Spoiler Alert! 

When is supposedly killed by a gunshot, and Eric and Andrew must now learn to live without her. 

The novel had a rather depressing ending and there is speculation that the movie might take a different direction. 

It will be interesting to see the twists and turns M. Night Shyamalan will come up with in this movie. 

KNOCK AT THE CABIN stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Rupert Grint, Nikki-Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, and Kristen Cui. 

The movie releases on February 3rd, 2023.
