It's an apocalypse film that doesn't feel all that apocalyptic – an overall one-note and sometimes muted doomsday scenario.

Maybe that's because this time Shyamalan has collaborated with two co-writers – Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman – while adapting Paul Tremblay's devastating novel, The Cabin at the End of the World. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin feels out of alignment with the filmmaker's catalog of twist-heavy, suspense-latent thrillers.
