The first trailer for Transformers One has arrived straight from space! With a highly comedic tone that might rub some fans the wrong way, the animated movie tells the “long-awaited origin story of how the most iconic characters in the Transformers universe, Orion Pax and D-16, went from brothers-in-arms to become sworn enemies, Optimus Prime and Megatron.“
Paramount Pictures really did go above and beyond to promote the movie, with the trailer making a live-streamed journey into space. When the craft reached 125,000 feet above the Earth, the Transformers One trailer was revealed, along with a custom introduction from stars Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, who star as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime and D-16/Megatron, respectively. The cast also includes Scarlett Johansson as Elita, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime, and Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion.

The "Transformers" movies took a pretty healthy break after the release of 2018's "Bumblebee," even if that wasn't originally the plan that Paramount Pictures had in mind. Regardless, thanks to the pandemic, that's exactly what happened. But with the release of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" in 2023, the franchise is back with much more to come. Not only are we poised for more live-action movies but we're also getting a feature-length, theatrically-released animated film in the form of "Transformers One."
While the robots in disguise started out as toys, it was in no small part thanks to the '80s animated series, as well as 1986's "Transformers: The Movie" that helped make the Autobots and Decepticons staples of pop culture. So bringing it back around to animation feels like a full-circle moment, and one that may well excite fans who checked out during Michael Bay's later live-action entries. So...

Based on the book ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’, there was little bit of controversy when Knock at the Cabin was released without any information to say this was based on the book or its author Paul Tremblay. But, this may have actually worked out okay for the author, as I’m sure there were many people like myself who finally got around to checking out the book after seeing the trailer. And after finishing the book and very much enjoying it, I was ready to watch the movie.

This article contains spoilers about "Knock at the Cabin."
We all know that there's no such thing as a 1:1 adaptation. Even something like Zack Snyder's "Watchmen," which brings exact panels to life complete with the original comic book dialogue, futzed with the ending. There are still some comic book fans who are angry about the lack of giant squid to this very day.
It's to be expected that any adaptation is going to come with some changes. Reading a book is different from watching a movie, after all, and a good screenwriter will know when to change things up for a visual storytelling medium and when the original text had it right. Steve Desmond, Michael Sherman, and M. Night Shyamalan's take on Paul Tremblay's "The Cabin at the End of the World" is very faithful ... until it isn't. And then it very much changes the core...

[Editor’s note: The following story contains spoilers for “Knock at the Cabin.”]
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest twist is specifically for readers of the novel “The Cabin at the End of the World.”
Shymalan’s latest film “Knock at the Cabin,” which has gained controversy and acclaim for its mainstream portrayal of a queer couple, was based on Paul Tremblay’s novel, “The Cabin at the End of the World.” The film centers on fathers Andrew (Ben Aldridge) and Eric (Jonathan Groff) and their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) who are told by intruders, led by Leonard (Dave Bautista), that they must kill one of their family members to survive the apocalypse.
Director Shyamalan co-wrote the screenplay with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman. In Shyamalan’s film, Andrew decides to murder his husband Eric, with Eric’s consent, and the apocalypse is stopped, with Andrew and Wen surviving. In the novel, which ends more ambiguously, Wen is accidentally killed...

M.Night Shyamalan has, for the longest time now, been a very hit-and-miss director. His first big hit, The Sixth Sense was followed by an impressive run of two genuinely great movies. After that everyone has debated, what has been bad, what has been good, and what has been downright terrible. For me, he has never hit those early heights of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. As of late his films seem to have hit a middle ground, nothing special, yet nothing partially that bad either, for me that’s where his latest film, Knock at the Cabin lands.
Knock at the Cabin follows a couple with their adopted daughter as their vacation is disturbed by a group of intruders, claiming they know the world will end.

Watching the newest film from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, "Knock at the Cabin," it's hard not to think of the weight carried by his past work. Though "Knock at the Cabin" is an adaptation of a well-regarded novel, it reflects a number of recognizable hallmarks that are easy to spot in Shyamalan's films. There is a precocious child whose presence grounds the thought processes of the adults surrounding them. There are stoic grown-ups who are sometimes prone to extremely dry humor and only at the most unexpected times. There is a touch of the supernatural. There's a surprise or two. And for some of us, by the time the end credits roll, "Knock at the Cabin" ends up feeling moderately hollow and empty. It is yet another Shyamalan film with a disturbing and effective setup that does not have a similar payoff.

The film’s early reviews are mostly positive, earning a 67 freshness rating from critics and an audience score of 73 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Spoilers ahead for "Knock at the Cabin" and Paul G. Tremblay's original novel, "The Cabin at the End of the World."
Though he's far from batting a thousand with original screenplays, M. Night Shyamalan's first attempt at adapting pre-existing source material — "The Last Airbender" — was famously his greatest disaster. As the only credited writer on his initial eight films, Shyamalan's failed blockbuster for Nickelodeon would become his first and only adaptation until 2021's "Old."
Now, after closing out his unsatisfying "Unbreakable" trilogy — Shyamalan's only multi-movie franchise, which sprung entirely from his own head — the writer-director is entering a phase of his career where adaptations are a new normal. His latest, "Knock at the Cabin," is based on the 2018 novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Massachusetts-based author and two-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, Paul G. Tremblay.

M. Night Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin" has turned out to be an interesting mix of the old and new for the divisive director. Some have dubbed the film a return to the director's glory days (especially in how it often evokes "Signs"), but creatively it is also an odd one out in the new, self-financed stage of the director's filmography. Based on the novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay, the film was born from an initial draft by Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman instead of one developed by Shyamalan from the ground up.
At first, Shyamalan wasn't going to direct the film, instead, he was just going to take a producer role and let the screenplay land in the hands...

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest “Knock at the Cabin” is here and it’s a doozy.
Based on Paul Tremblay’s novel “The Cabin at the End of the World” and a 2019 adaptation that appeared on the Black List by Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, it stars Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge as the parents of a young adopted girl (Kristen Cui). While visiting their cabin in the secluded Pennsylvania woods, they are visited by four strangers (led by Dave Bautista) with strange weapons who break in and give them a chilling ultimatum: one of the very loving family members must kill another in order to prevent the apocalypse.
At first, the intruders seem like loons (with one possibly connected to a hate crime that befell the couple years earlier) but soon enough an even more chilling scenario emerges: that they were right.

But what about the ending of “Knock at the Cabin,...

Spoiler Alert: This contains major spoilers for “Knock at the Cabin,” now playing in theaters.
Director M. Night Shyamalan’s latest tense, apocalyptic thriller, “Knock at the Cabin,” is adapted from author Paul Tremblay’s novel “The Cabin at the End of the World,” but the Universal film majorly diverges from the book with its ending.
Both properties center around a family of three, made up of fathers Eric and Andrew (played by Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) and their young daughter Wen (newcomer Kristen Cui), whose vacation in the woods is interrupted by four strangers who warn them of an impending doomsday. The four intruders are Leonard (Dave Bautista), Sabrina (Nikki Amuka-Bird), Adriane (Abby Quinn) and Redmond (Rupert Grint). Plagued by apocalyptic visions that appear to come true, they tie up Eric, Andrew and Wen and demand that the family sacrifices one of its own to prevent the end of the world.

This article contains spoilers for the film "Knock at the Cabin."
M. Night Shyamalan's new film "Knock at the Cabin," based on the novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay, has a supernatural premise that is never fully delved into. And while obfuscating the finer mechanics of the film's fantasy setup certainly adds to its general air of mystery, what Shyamalan and his co-screenwriters Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman have chosen to leave in reveals some dark and deeply morally irresponsible things. By the end of "Knock," one might see a downright bigoted ethos being advocated. The ending is especially galling, given how much on-screen suffering the two lead characters went through.
Ben Aldridge and Jonathan Groff play Andrew and Eric, a happily married couple who are vacationing with their young daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) at a remote lakeside cabin in Pennsylvania. Andrew and Eric are happy,...

It has been noted that new age master of suspense-wannabe M. Night Shyamalan has basically gone downhill since his heady beginnings with the Oscar-nominated classic, The Sixth Sense, then pretty good follow-ups like Signs and Unbreakable. Even detours in split-personality hits like Split, and Glass — the latter successful enough to let Universal trust him with small enough budgets to take a few more swings — or the intriguing Twilight Zone-ish film Old, that unfortunately wore out its welcome after a promising start, bolster that notion.
Movies like Lady In The Water, The Visit, Last Airbender, The Happening, The Village, and After Earth are better left forgotten.
Now we have Knock At The Cabin, a home invasion thriller that mixes its premise up with a pretty far-fetched, Biblical apocalyptic plot line that ratchets up the tension, but could use a little more credibility. As in every Shyamalan picture, you expect some sort of twist,...

The Biblical concept of Judgment Day carries with it a number of ethical, social, and psychological quandaries. Setting aside any belief in a literal return of a messianic figure who will pass judgment on humanity, the idea alone has connections to everything from the moral concept of sin to the legal concept of law and order to something as individual and every day as a report card or performance review.
The idea of Judgement Day can be boiled down to that of a final exam. Since such a test would take an eternity in order to weigh all the nuances involved, the quickest way for humans to conceive of it boils down to optimism or pessimism: are people basically good or basically evil? Can in-between answers exist?...

Continuing the career resurgence that began with 2015’s The Visit, M. Night Shyamalan delivers once again with Knock at the Cabin. The claustrophobic horror-thriller mixes intensity and spiritual paranoia, resulting in the director’s most assured film since Split (2016).
Based on Paul Tremblay’s novel The Cabin at the End of the World, the film is Frailty (2001) by way of The Strangers (2008). Eric (Jonathan Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldrige) are vacationing at a secluded cottage with their 7-year-old daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) when four strangers break into their cabin and proceed to hold them hostage. Their leader, Leonard (Dave Bautista), tells the family that he and the others have had visions of the apocalypse, and the only way to save humanity is for the family to choose to sacrifice one of their own.

Following the twin disasters of After Earth and The Last Airbender around a decade ago, M. Night Shyamalan has been on something of a career rebound in the last eight years, with successful films like The Visit and Split, plus the hit Apple TV+ show Servant, to his credit. Shyamalan’s work can be an acquired taste, and even among his fans his output can be hit and miss (like 2021’s divisive Old), but his new film, Knock at the Cabin, is easily his strongest effort since the still-potent Split and may yet end up on the top shelf of his 15 feature films to date.
Based on the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by acclaimed horror writer Paul Tremblay (marking only the third time since The Last Airbender that Shyamalan has adapted previously existing material), Knock at the Cabin offers the kind of semi-Hitchcockian premise and setup that Shyamalan usually relishes.

Most of us can agree the world is in a perilous state, with natural disasters multiplying, pernicious new viruses continually emerging, the planet steadily overheating, and wars raging in constant rotation. But yeesh, M. Night Shyamalan needs to lighten up. Or if he’s really going to explore his despair over the fate of humanity, at least do it in a more compelling vehicle than the numbingly self-serious Knock at the Cabin. And don’t patronize the gays by telling us only the purity of a double-dad family’s love can save mankind. Girl, please.

Would M. Night Shyamalan want to see dead people or would he rather be unbreakable? Is there any chance he would get in a wrestling ring with Dave Bautista? Or sing with Jonathan Groff? As his new film “Knock at the Cabin” poses an impossible dilemma, Variety asked the filmmaker to play a quick round of “Would You Rather?” with questions set in the universe of his previous films.
As for whether Shyamalan would rather see a film of his gross 500 million or win 12 Academy Awards, the filmmaker doesn’t hesitate.
“The 500 million! Not even close!” he responds. “For me, it’s always the relationship with the audience. It’s all I care about: it’s me and them having a conversation.”
“Knock at the Cabin,” based on the 2018 novel “The Cabin at the End of the World” by Paul G. Tremblay, is sure to spark conversation when it opens in theaters Friday.

M Night Shyamalan has always been at odds with his own legend. His 1999 breakout film, The Sixth Sense, revolved around a twist so sensational that it came to define him. Shyamalan is thought of now less as a director than a trickster; all that really matters to his audiences is how smoothly the rug is pulled out from under them. A relentless cycle of unmatchable hype builds and inevitable disappointment ensues.
With barely a twist to speak of (at least in the traditional sense), his latest film Knock at the Cabin feels like a repudiation of the past. It’s a (largely) single-location, narratively straightforward horror that unspools the tricky moral conundrum at its centre with inventive, Hitchcockian flair. Hopefully, Knock at the Cabin will serve as a reminder that Shyamalan should be celebrated as much for his craftsmanship as he is for his shock tactics.

I never gave up on M. Night Shyamalan. The filmmaker broke out in a huge way with "The Sixth Sense," a ghost story with a whopper of a twist and a film that instantly solidified Shyamalan as an up-and-coming director to watch. Then a curious thing happened. As Shyamalan kept making movies, audience opinion began to shift. People seemingly grew tired of his "What a twist!" endings. And, to be fair, he made some stinkers along the way. But I remained in his corner. I liked too much of what he was doing to fully quit, even when most audiences had long since walked away.
Shyamalan began something of a comeback with "The Visit," his found footage flick that asked, "Aren't old people scary?" Financing his films himself, the director roared back to life, following "The Visit" up with "Split" (good), "Glass" (not very good), and "Old" (weird and kind...

M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin adapts author Paul Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World, a grim novel that asks the impossible of its characters with no painless solution. The deceptive simplicity of the source material gave way to existential, moral conundrums in the face of a potential apocalypse. Shyamalan gives his spin on the story, injecting recurring themes of faith and optimism. It results in a muted, superficial rendering.
Adopted daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) catches grasshoppers while dads Eric (Jonathan Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldridge) relax at their remote cabin in the woods. The sudden arrival of an imposing stranger, Leonard (Dave Bautista), catches Wen off guard, though his gentle demeanor disarms her. Then three more strangers, Sabrina (Nikki Amuka-Bird), Adriane (Abby Quinn), and Redmond (Rupert Grint), emerge from the woods.

This week, M. Night Shyamalan returns to the big screen with "Knock at the Cabin," a one-location home-invasion thriller with an apocalyptic twist that is sure to divide audiences. Despite all the (sometimes toxic) criticism lodged at the filmmaker throughout the years, he still enjoys taking large risks, subverting expectations, and making films for himself rather than corporate machines. Shyamalan mostly works with original screenplays he's written himself and has lately even self-financed his films not just out of necessity, but also to allow as much creative freedom as possible.
"Knock at the Cabin" differs from "Old" and "Glass" in that, for the first time in a long while, Shyamalan's newest film is a collaboration and an adaptation of previous work. The film itself is based on the novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay, and the initial unproduced screenplay adapting this work was...

The twist in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film comes at the beginning, not the end. The trouble with that arrangement is that a career of surprise-ending films, such as “The Sixth Sense” and “Signs,” has conditioned audiences to expect something juicy to be revealed at the eleventh hour, by which point, this apocalyptic head-scratcher has already played its hand.
“Knock at the Cabin” starts like a home-invasion thriller, with four armed strangers descending upon a remote cabin to perturb its occupants, except that none of the characters fits the stereotypes associated with the genre. First of all, the family renting the cabin isn’t what you might expect: a gay couple (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) with an adopted Chinese American daughter (Kristen Cui), perhaps 6 or 7 years old, with a cleft palate. The intruders are even more unusual: a second-grade teacher (Dave Bautista), a nurse (Nikki Amuka-Bird), a short-order...

M. Night Shyamalan’s name became somewhat of a punching bag after movies, such as The Happening and The Last Airbender. However, he most recently took us on a thrilling trip to a mysterious beach in Old based on Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ graphic novel, Sandcastle. Next, Shyamalan raised the stakes to potentially apocalyptic levels with Knock at the Cabin.

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller Knock at the Cabin is set to reach theatres in less than a month, on February 3rd, and in anticipation of the film’s release Shyamalan sat down for an interview with Total Film magazine, during which he compared Knock at the Cabin to his 2002 alien invasion movie Signs and unveiled a new image, which can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Asked which of his previous films Knock at the Cabin is the most like, Shyamalan replied, “The closest, I think, is Signs, because both movies are confined, to some extent, and they’re both populated by such loveable families at the center of apocalyptic events. I do think that you fall in love with both of those families. You laugh with them, are scared for them. You feel connected.“

M. Night Shymalan is bringing another thrill ride to theaters. The director, now on a hot streak of mid-budget thrillers like “Old” and “Split,” is set to release another in “Knock at the Cabin” this February, and a second trailer showcasing the film’s twisty plot has been released.
Based on the 2018 Paul G. Tremblay novel “The Cabin at the End of the World,” the film focuses on a gay couple (played by Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) who take their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) on vacation in a remote cabin in the middle of the woods. While there, Wen encounters a group of strangers led by the mysterious Leonard (Dave Bautista), who eventually break into the cabin and hold the family hostage and give them a startling message: The world is about to end, and the only way to save it is for the three to choose to make the “ultimate sacrifice.
