Knock at the Cabin, the next movie by M. Night Shyamalan, is scheduled to debut in theatres on February 3, 2023. The renowned writer-director has released a new poster for the next horror thriller movie, which features the silhouettes of the four kidnappers from the plot around the titular cabin. The artwork was released just before the start of the new year.
Knock at the Cabin is based on the 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World written by Paul Tremblay and tells the story of Andrew (Jonathan Groff) and Eric (Ben Aldridge) who take their adopted daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) on a vacation to an isolated cabin in the woods. While here, Wen is approached by a man named Leonard, played by Dave Bautista, and a group of other strangers played by Rupert Grint, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Abby Quinn. This group of four, the ones depicted in the poster that Shyamalan shared, take the family hostage and reveal to them that one of them must be sacrificed to save the world. While they initially don’t believe it, the sudden apocalyptic events that start occurring around the world seem to suggest that there might be some sort of truth to what is happening. So, the question is posed: Will they choose to save someone they love or save all of humanity?
Shyamalan posted the new poster to Twitter and expressed his admiration for the final artwork in the comment. “The final poster is gorgeous. like an old noir movie. My favourite posters are the striking ones. It has a lot of retro elements. I can’t wait till you see it in a theatre.” The four strangers’ white silhouettes are seen on the poster as they surround the cabin, towering above it and casting lengthy, scarlet shadows against the completely black background.
