Movie Review: Shyamalan’s “KNOCK AT THE CABIN” is worth answering
It has a terrific setup that establishes plenty of dramatic conflicts and questions.

What starts off as an attempt to resurrect the naturalistic found-footage style of sub-genre giant The Blair Witch Project, disintegrates into a bloody waking nightmare for a group of friends who travel into the Mojave desert to film a music video in THE OUTWATERS.
Taylor can’t seem to figure out what kind of fears he wants to focus on: the very modern anxieties engendered by the pandemic or the more prosaic kinds to be exploited by supernatural agents.
Even given the graphic excesses of his prior work, this is Cronenberg’s most explicit, extreme vision yet.
Jam-packed with genre tropes, the new supernatural thriller starring Julian Sands is an atmospheric but confusing mess.
