Knock at the Cabin
I feel Knock at the Cabin is an absolute win for <PERSON>. In fact, it’s his best since The Village. I think why it’s so good is how well he was able to make the atmosphere of the film feel. It’s such an interesting topic, what it tackles, and especially thrilling to see aspects such as endless love tie into the fate of the world. The plot also keeps you hooked, because I thought that how it was shot in particular was fittingly intense. The whole time you’re in this one location. It’s a claustrophobic scenario and you feel that the entire time. I think the film lacks in twists though. 217
When you normally think of a <PERSON> flic you imagine that ending to pack a “WHAT THE FUCK” into that last frame, and here that wasn’t felt. You could say that <PERSON> & <PERSON>’s final confrontation with each other was the “twist” considering that <PERSON> did shoot <PERSON> in the end, but it wasn’t <PERSON>’s normal off-the-rails cliffhanger. So I think that could’ve packed more of a punch. But what did pack the punch were the performances. Everyone does their part so well, so frightening, and <PERSON> gives about 110% into his performance that’s absolutely menacing, yet shockingly grieving all at once. Truly his best performance. <PERSON> & <PERSON> also stood out to me, because they & <PERSON> were the characters I felt for the most. It was intoxicating to see such a craft go into it, and while that ending is debatably iffy, it’s still very worth it to see. An absolute win for <PERSON>. 1009
