Critics Consensus

Although it's often less than scary and parts of the story don't bear scrutiny, Knock at the Cabin is a thought-provoking chiller and upper-tier Shyamalan.

The plot might be a little underwhelming, but solid acting and plenty of suspense make Knock at the Cabin a decently entertaining watch.

Even though his spiritual successor, Jordan Peele, is reaching for the A-plus B movie torch, Night remains the industry standard.

... Most of the pleasures of Knock at the Cabin arrive from two sources: Shyamalan’s masterful filmmaking and Bautista’s nuanced performance.

If there is some kind of allegory on violence that is supposed to be going on in “Knock at the Cabin,” the movie and its story are certainly not smart enough for it to come to fruition.

It is a captivating film that keeps you alert and tense throughout its entire duration, but with some issues such as the repetition of situations or too many explanations about what is happening. [Full Review in Spanish]

All I know is that it’s pretty fun to watch Dave Bautista and his ad-hoc clique of desperate goons freak out on a bunch of strangers.

Shyamalan crafts a claustrophobic, thought-provoking ride, yet the cast (minus Bautista) struggles to bring the soul I craved. It’s not his flashiest film, but it’s got a rawness that lingers, even if it’s muffled by uneven execution.
