i thought it really was wonderful to see so many normally comedic/absurd actors play such ranged roles! I also thought the child actor did really well
It was a great movie I loved it
Very mediocre.
I thought it was good.
Really, No one is going to point out how you guys made an awesome cabin with stars in the background?! Very nice 👍
Dave Bautista is 100% the stand out actor of this
By FAR and it's not even close
He is sick bastard. God DOES NOT APPROVE TATTOOS!!!!!
It was thrilling to see Rupert grunt get merked. I hate Ron weasely he's a whiny bitch.... Oooh I love Hermione but I'm too lazy to fight for her love
I genuinely think there being no twist was the best twist of all !! I really enjoyed this movie and the fact there wasn’t a daft twist at the end actually defied my expectations in a positive way.
I had the same feeling. I’m tired of Mr Shyamalan’s gimmicky plot twist/reveal. This is a straight drama/thriller without any message or agenda.
@@brianng8350 "without any message" Certainly wouldn't go that far.
@@brianng8350 There are many movies that have no message or agenda. That makes those useless. I think you didn't give much thought when you wrote that is a drama/thriller without any message or agenda. And there was a twist, a big twist, but it was presented early, and surprised all who watched that film.
Exactly!!! The "twist" was right in our face the whole time, which was they're telling the truth!
This movie was so bad
I really enjoyed this movie! It was a disturbing, claustrophobic ride and I felt so much sympathy for every character
The book actually has an interesting scene that I think would make the movie better but they can't do that in the movie
@@khyberx8361What is the scene?
@@joshportal2808 in the book after Andrew gets the gun there is an altercation in the house and from that Wen is shot and Leonard tells them since it was an accident it doesn't count and then proceeds to ask that same question I feel like the movie would have been even better if that scene was adapted
@@khyberx8361 the book was too heart wrenching. I finished it two weeks ago but still when I think about when they left the cabin towards the truck, it’s like u can feel how much sad they were at that situation. Until that part, I was thinking this book is just average for me.
You are cult member
I like how when at the end the guy was finding all of the horsemen belongings he found the picture of the girl and her son after saying he didn't even believe she had a child.
Hey I seen the movie but I cannot remember quote it was either said by the dude that played on Harry Potter. Are the lady who had a son that worked in the. Diner I really would like to know what the quote was but I cannot remember and I do not want to go back to sit through it again. To find out so do you remember the code it was very good I wanted to remember it. So I can write it down.
@@perryrice4149 Dude, that is not a coherent question. You're asking for a code?
for me his reaction to that was too bland, like he didn't care. the acting is mediocre in this movie, he should at least dropped a tear in that scene. And that final scene in the car with the music was awful, should have been more dramatic
@@perryrice4149 Drugs are bad mmkay
@@TheJim42069 I just might have to wait for the movie to come out on HBO. See that movies are playing very quickly now not like it was back in the day. When it took years for a movie to go to HBO. Now is only a matter of months sometimes even weeks. But is a quote that I really like and I wish I could. Remembered
Good to know the trailer for the film was basically just the entire film. Saved me 20 bucks!
forreal
This is why I never watch trailers so it was pretty good for me
@@piratekng yea i still think it’s worth a watch
@@piratekng Honest question. How do you even know about a movie without watching trailers? Or how do you know if a movie is of interest?
@@myprotosskickass movie posters and also teasers are ok but never full trailers.. I've learned my lesson since Hobbs and shaw I was so pissed the trailer gave up literally EVERYTHING I stopped watching them completely
The disasters didn't feel that impactful like the ending of glass.
It felt like it only affected parts of the world and not all of it
Which it did, I watched a video yesterday saying that a part of humanity were judged whenever the first three are killed but when Leonard says it he says all of humanity
@@huetv8840 after Lenard died, the visuals and events that followed didn't support that in my opinion
it was biblical reference. i have this belief where the apocalypse each religion teased from years ago would only affect the said religion and its believers
@@lunarwitch1854 Boy is that ever a cope lol
@@chuckn4851 yep lol
It feels like there wasn’t enough of a convincing argument or effort made by the captors to prove that what they were doing was real. The captives were right to resist to the end because that was logical for them to do in their situation, but the film ending without any resolution or even just some dumb twist really made it disappointing. They were compelled to be there by some mysterious higher power but they couldn’t be assed to be convincing.
How else could they have convinced them though?
@@syntrexfpv1347 if the disasters were real, it should be on every channel. They should have allowed they to channel surf to show this is not a recording nor faked rather than just show them that one channel. And they could not use cell phones because of the location or something else? I missed the explanation in the beginning. I know they cut the landline. Just curious.
Damn right! I would have been all about saving my family...you wanna convince me show me some of dem visions they all claim to see then I would have believed before it was too late.
@@syntrexfpv1347 Well, they can't because the whole idea doesn't make a lick of sense.
Yeah, I mean they were just MURDERING THEMSELVES. Shoulda done more...
I honestly went into this movie with low expectations, but I was honestly impressed in the end. The two dad's and their daughter had to make the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity.
It would’ve been better if the daughter hated her dad for killing the other dad so he lives with regret with a dead husband and a daughter who hates him. Not a happy ending but a better one
My wife and I enjoyed the film. I didn't walk away feeling disappointed with the ending . I'm glad it ended the way it did . At least there was a payoff .
I was looking at other reviews and from what I heard, the book, which is what this movie is based on, is more depressing and ambiguous. So, I’m really happy with this ending too.
Should’ve ended differently and not so happy
To me, the issue with this movie seems to be that it really doesn’t have anything to say beyond a very bland and wafer thin message about the cruelty vs inherent worth of humanity. One that is undercut by the couple literally having no other option at the end. Either one of them sacrifices themselves or the three of them soon perish in the remains of the world ravished by apocalypse.
This is not a character coming to see the value and good in the people around them, this is a person forced to murder their loved one while an omnicidal monster of a god holds the rest of the world hostage. In a dark way that may have been interesting plot if leaned into, but no it’s hand waved away as “a divine plan”. No real character arcs and nothing new said.
It sounds like it wanted to be a more serious Cabin in the Woods. The only thing it didnt emulate was the most interesting thing about Cabin in the Woods.
They pulled the trigger and blew it all up.
Monster God 0_o ?
I couldn't agree more. The impetus for the plot and architect of the scenario is entirely absent from the film. I think that, as you said, if you leaned into you could make it work and be pretty interesting actually, but instead there is this implicit assumption that there is no agency or interaction on the part of that evil force.
The colored shirts seemed to correlate to the horses of the 4 horsemen too.
When I heard they were the horsemen and I saw the shirts it clicked for me as well.
I was just thinking that. And I wonder if they do represent this.
Oh, I did not even notice the shirt colors. I have to go over that again?
I didn't read the book but I did read the summary on Wiki and I think I prefer the actual ending. Spoiler for people who may be interested in reading it but in the book they accidentally shoot Wen and neither of the dads sacrifice each other so the apocalypse happens anyway and the book just ends like that. Very bleak but I liked it.
Lol wow what a victim ass ending. Terrible. Glad they changed that.
wait so not all 3 of them could have been sacrifices??
@@some_random_account7989 if its an accident it doesnt count
The book's ending was more shocking and disturbing, not like the cheesy crap they did with the movie.
@@QuantumWavesMTE book was way better. Because they decide that the world is better off without an evil god that can just wipe out everyone at his will.
I feel like it would have been more interesting if it turned out their captors had also refused to make a sacrifice. The twist could have been that they are attempting to weasels their way out of the choice themselves by convincing others to do what they couldn’t/can’t. Maybe the original visions they received were different and the captors themselves set things in motion due to their own selfishness and bad decisions.
Batista is a great actor as far as I'm concerned.
M. night is an excellent story teller and phenomenal director. He doesn't get the credit. Anyway, the point of his movies are to tell unique stories...you come out enjoying his work. It's doesn't always has to be same. the point is is tells you a stories...in some cases he is uniquely surprising the audience the end and in some cases like The Happening and Knock At The Cabin...he is trying to make a point...which is to be nice to mother nature (The Happening) and be nice to other human beings (Knock At The Cabin). Mr. Shyamalan is trying to do his part and be some of hist stories about humanity and teaching us lesson.
People nit pick about his movies but when it comes to movies like Batman and Superman...man who can fly and die and come back to life...now these are ridiculous stories are OK to them.
The real twist was that it didn't follow the book ending.
I watched your breakdown video because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss the twist. I kind of felt the same when I saw Nope expecting there to be more.
I think this movie was of course not as psychologically suspenseful and engagingly thrilling as The Sixth Sense, but definitely not as much of a WTF letdown like The Happening. This film does at least visually represent different aspects of human nature, such as sacrifice versus selfishness. And it also shows how inherent bias and traumatic experiences can not only shape our world view, but our own moral compass. 💕
Signs is his best work & the 6th sense but no idea 🤷♂️ what could be his top 3 if he even has that ?
@@TheSnakecross To me Signs would've been his best work if the beings weren't aliens as everything else in the film pretty much points to demons.
I’m here to also say the happening was horrible😭
Cabin in the woods (2011) also features the apocalypse too!
It seems that whenever the plot in one of Shamalamadingdong’s has a world ending plot it tends to fall short. Maybe he should stick to more character driven fare.
But his characters suck? Just smaller set pieces. The bigger the setting, the more his flaws shine through.
@@kennethbryant5819 I was going State a “counterpoint” to your comment using his Unbreakable trilogy. But then I remembered how that ended and I would’ve ended up shooting myself in the foot(so to speak).
I would agree he should do more human drama than gimmicky plot twist movies. At least in this movie, we see how Andrew became the person he is - between his job, the attack and meeting the parents. It would be nice if we saw more of Eric’s life; he just seem to embody love, hope, optimism, faith, trust, and all.
This movie is amazing we don’t have too many apocalyptic movies anymore It’s a fear everyone on the planet can get behind
One of my favorite movies of his is the one where they are stuck in an elevator. And one of the people in the elevator is the devil. Simple story premise, but still tense.
This isn’t M. Nights story so sadly there wouldn’t be a Shyamalan Twist to it. It’s a book written by Paul Trembley… M. Night Shyamalan just adapted it to a movie.
M.Night also made an adaption with the movie Old and I believe he changed the ending. In his movie the twist was that it was a medical research company and I don't think that was in the original story. So he could have changed the ending to A Knock At The Cabin if he wanted to.
@@PixieMermaid-fz9rt he did, not as much as in old, I'll hold off on saying the original ending because spoilers, but I personally preferred the original ending.
Poor M.Night..if there isn't a twist, it deemed a failure... Never let your first film be your absolute best...
Unfortunately this is more like The Happening it's not one of his best, the problem was that COVID happened during the time he was getting people for this and the writers couldn't get together to talk through the process so we got this...
Lol they couldn't use zoom, so they used snail mail instead.
I wouldn’t say it was as bad as The Happening. Or Old. Or Lady in the Water. It wasn’t great but it was passable.
@@extofer Yeah I understand that and I'm not saying it is, it's just more like The Happening in the fact that it's more of a "thinking person's" movie....
@@johnnysizemore5797 That’s fair.
Couldn't talk through the process? We have an over abundance of phones. That's a bullshit excuse.conference calls have been a thing for a very long time.
only flaw I think about with this movie is how stupid they were at the start, its kinda hard to predict a tsunami, a flu suddenly rising in fatality as soon as one of the people die seems very suspicious, planes falling from the sky as soon as the next person dies makes it even more suspicious, and they dont believe until the whole sky turns black 💀
If you were faced with an impossible choice with a situation that seems illogical and impossible. You would try to rationalize away ANY event. That's the most humane thing to do. That's what normal people would do in every situation.
They finally believed after all four horsemen killed themselves.
@@donaldbowler4514 should’ve believed after the first one died imo, but they had to make a movie so they made it a bit longer by making them rationalize, no person wouldn’t believe them if the moment one of them got brutally killed, a tsunami happened, but that’s just me
@@winkiedinkie1452 no.... many people would still not believe them, including me.
@@donaldbowler4514 so you mean the whole world will be divided like it is now🤔 so yes it's a very human thing to do🤷♂️
@@WillsonT011 No idea where your taking this....I'm saying that its human to rationalize and apply logical to catastrophic events rather than believe a cult saying its magic.
You wanna take this to another place, thats on you.
I enjoyed the movie. I like the ambiguity the movie has about whether they actually stopped the apocalypse or if it just went away on its own.
There was a Twilight Zone episode in the early 2000's that had a similar premise. Look it up!
THE TWILIGHT ZONE ("Sunrise" )
How is Sabrina a "religious fanatic" when she says she hasn't been to church since she was a little girl?
Probably she felt that churches were too 'tame' for her.
@@zitronentee that's a leap
It doesn't matter what she says, if they don't believe her.
Don’t have to attend church to be religious
excellent analysis. great script & productions values
Owning a cabin is actually very nice
I must say I really love your ending explains because of your unique voice. It really is captivating. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed Kristen Cui as Wen most of all. I thought she was thoroughly captivating and adorable! Great job in basically her first feature roll!
I’m not sure if I really liked the movie but it was an interesting story ( but I expected more)
I wonder how they handled the others (as stated in the video). Were there more of them because Redman sacrificed himself after they refused. So had did the other offers end? I guess I should watch the movie lol.
I like how he labeled him "Ron Weasley". I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
What else are you gonna call him?
@@angellover02171 That's what I think of him as, but I would've used his character's name here.
Maybe it’s a coincidence maybe it’s not that’s the doubt in this movie
Rrrrronald Weasley?! It‘s called Wingardium LevioSAAAAA
I would definitely consider this upper-tier Shyamalan, I don't think it's his best work but it's pretty close. I loved how the first two acts are pretty much the same as the book, the ending was however Shyamalan's re-write, and I'm glad it just wasn't too crazy.
Nah fam we all dying lmao 😂
I thought it was solid. The lack of twist was an expectation on your part and mine that shouldn’t affect the movie.
I think the twist WAS that there wasnt a twist. You go into a shamalan movie expecting ur expectations to be subverted, only to find out everything youve been told throughout the movie is exactly as it has been stated.
I totally disagree with this TH-camr. I’m glad there is no gimmicky plot twist. Many of his prior movies failed because the twists were not as impactful as Sixth Sense. So, I’m glad he is just making a straight drama/thriller
Didn't expect a M Knight movie to not have a Twist unless Batista and the gang actually telling the truth was the twist.
Also that vision of the future with one of the dads and the kid as an adult almost made me cry.
Cut the power to the house……HEY LETS WATCH THE APOCALYPSE ON TV!
They didn’t cut the power. The cut the telephone line.
@@kevinstfort I was a bit confused cause I thought they said there was no signal and that the tv broadcasts weren’t live. Though I guess cable and cellular work different?
The Ron Weasley tag for Rupert made me laugh 😂
The intruders being the four horseman was so obvious when I first watched the trailer.
This is the type of movie that would make you say, "WHAT?"
Quick! Watch before it gets taken down!
The video or the movie? I work at a movie theater and movies like these don't last long.
The movie speaks alot of truth. Sometimes you gotta give up what you love most for whats best.
Sometimes inactions have serious consequences.
Look at our nation, thats all a result of inaction in good men, sometimes there has to be sacrifices for the rest to thrive.
I enjoy Dave's acting
Same.
It was ok, just a lot of up close face shots and lines.
It’s like getting a box of Cracker Jacks and the prize is missing.
I like that the movie just jumped right in. No backstory or them booking the vacation or them struggling thru adoption. Nope. The movie just got down to be itself within the first 5 minutes. Much appreciated for not wasting my time.
0star thank for the explanation 👍
I predicted the outcome. It left me confused when it kept going. It could have ended earlier than being dragged on by “trying” to keep the audience guessing…
It's an M. Night Shyamalan film. The lack of a twist IS the twist.
Pleasantly surprised! Great Movie!
The book leaves the ending open ended, not ever knowing if the end of the world was real or not. What a cop out ending lol
I say let the world end. A fresh start is what the world needs
One of my favorite movies of the last year
Not related, but I love your voice. There’s just something about it I enjoy lol
Yeah it's the reason I subscribe😁
When I'm on the fence about something, I always watch your videos, if there are any about it, and it always helps me decide if I watch something or not. Thanks for this video. I won't be watching this and now I won't be disappointed. 💁✌️😎👍
Was a good movie. But I agree it was missing something
I didn't know this was a movie by M.night Shamalya until it ended . I then came here because I assumed I missed the point or twist - but seemingly there wasn't one to miss let's a shame I normally love his movies largely because of the twist
loved it.
It was okay but I mean I wanted to see Rupert grant have a legit role in this what the hell? I think there needed to be more here and I saw the difference in the book ending and this I’ll just say the book sounds better a title more insane
Yesss Rupert did amazing in this role!! I wanted more from him!!
Saved me watching thanks
I would say this movie is right at the middle, not too crazy and the acting was very believable.
This seemed more like a recap than an ending explained.
WHERE CAN I STREAM THIS !?
If there is a twist ending, you say, "Why can't he not have a twist ending for once." If there is no twist ending, you say, "No twist? What the hell?" I say, have a twist beginning.
trash
SPOILERS
Personally, I enjoyed the movie. Every single actor in it is great at portraying what their characters are supposed to be feeling. The family trio had great chemistry together, and so did the four strangers with one another. Tbh tho, I feel like it would've been even better of an ending if after Eric died and Andrew went to be with Wen in the treehouse, if the movie just ended then, and you just had to question if it was all real or truly just a home invasion.
I was expecting it to be like the book. That would’ve been a twist and tugged some heartstrings!!
The plot twist is that you came to a M Night movie and expected a twist lol
The scar is a cleft pallet. That has to be some sort of metaphor as it’s pretty common for people in that area to either give those babies away via adoption, or late term plan B. Hidden knife?…… lol I came here to look for the twist that I thought I must’ve missed. So, the twist is, no twist? He must think he’s playing 4d chess, meanwhile I’d just rather watch the Rise of Gru again.
I haven’t seen any comments about Rupert Grint he did great in this movie for the short time he was in it
What about when they see the 3rd catastrophe in TV and it say “pre-recorded”?
BIG DAVE!!✌🏽🔥👑
In my head the world still end becoz there are 7 seals to be broken, 4 already broken it just a temporary calm before the remaining seals are broken completely...
Give it up, M. Night. For the sake of humanity.
Why was the Harry poter dude related to Andrew and Eric in that bar scene why was he casually chosen?
Power to the cabin wasn’t cut, the phone lines were.
Eric saw "Think Story" in the light
I loved the happening! scared me so bad when i was little and when i think about it today, it still a scary thought. I will go see this movie, it looks interesting!
Eric and Andrew first letters in name are the same as Adam and Eve.
These pipes... are clean!!!
Just seen this movie, it was pretty good
Was Rupert grint’s character the same person who beat up the main character at the bar sometime before the events at the cabin
I disliked this book. The changes made actually made it worse, took away something from very little.
Also, yes Bautista can act!
How does the tv get satellite/ service if the cell phones don’t?
I enjoyed d film. It made me question what choice i wud make if i was in d same situation. But like someone had mentioned below, the book ending is better. More haunting? This movie is similar to the trolley problem, which in this case is whether saving your family is more important or is saving humanity-a bunch of strangers you dont know-is more important.
2:55 Ha! Good one😉.
I kept waiting for the twist
I would have like a movie about the apocalypse in real time instead of being in a cabin
Was there any other way it could end? Why was the sacrafice not explained?
8:00
Uhm, did you mean “…[Andrew] shoots and kills ERIC”? The way this part of the plot synopsis is described makes it seem like Andrew shot himself. I haven’t seen the film, so this rundown of the plot is the first I’m hearing of how the movie ends. That’s why this flub had me confused😅
What about the knocking when the title comes back after the credits?
if the power has been cut - how does the TV work?
God powered
True. If there is cable TV there must be internet. And if there is internet, they could have connected to wifi and messaged someone for help.
Was I the only one who was waiting for a twist the entire movie?
I actually found myself really disappointed when it didn’t come 😢
It was fine. I'm still not sure if I liked the changes from the book... 🤷🏻♂️
This was a good movie 🎬
The book’s ending was better. I also wish there was some explanation as to why those 3 were chosen.
My thought after watching the movie, is it's random how they were chosen
@@JohnWayne-ec1gi but technically it’s not random because those people were having visions with the 3 in there. They specifically targeted those 3 people.
@@jax422 it's more of a premonition of what's to come more that it's randomness of the family. It's what you call destiny but it was a random one.
@@JohnWayne-ec1gi I don’t like that. That’s bad writing. Like why was it their destiny? The universe picked them for a reason. True randomness doesn’t exist.
@@jax422 well, M Night has been shown to have ehhh... movies/writing ! Anyways if they were shown the images of thier own death/destiny(the 4 horseman) then you can assume it was the victims destiny as well... which can be random people at any situation.
And sure true randomness exist, haven't you heard the phrase wrong place at the wrong time!?
Carry On Cabin
Glad I didn't pay to see this in theaters because after watching this video I would have felt it a waste of money since it sounds more streaming quality. Critics seem to be split as to whether or not it's good.
U right
is this movie out?
Obviously
@@kobemarion1137 lmaooo so mean 💀
@@chayse1225 I had zero malice in my tone, I was just saying 😆
I thought the film was alright. Not amazing but not bad either by any means. Worth a watch.
Phone line was cut, Not the power to the Cabin.
