The filmmaker has great science fiction movies like Signs and Unbreakable to his name, as well as the brilliant ghost movie The Sixth Sense. But, with so many movies comes a lot of variety, and it’s hard to know what to expect from Knock at the Cabin.
Whether it’s as good as his classics or not, we need to know when the Knock at the Cabin release date will be, and we’ve got all the information you need about that and so much more.
Knock at the Cabin release date
The Knock at the Cabin release date is set for February 3, 2023, so there’s not long to wait until you can see the next Shyamalan film on the big screen.
It’s always good fun to watch a Shyamalan movie play out in a cinema and see the reactions of the audience as he takes his stories in truly wild directions. We recommend catching this in a packed-out theatre on opening weekend for maximum enjoyment.
Knock at the Cabin plot speculation
Now we have a trailer for Knock at the Cabin, we know that the movie is going to involve a family falling victim to a group of intruders who want to stop an impending apocalypse. M. Night Shyamalan movies never play out the way we think they will, and the fact he’s keeping the premise of this one a secret suggests he has some more tricks up his sleeves.

From the trailer, we know the movie will take place in a cabin as Eric (Ben Aldridge) and Andrew (Jonathan Groff) take a relaxing break with their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui).
Their getaway doesn’t stay peaceful for long though, as the mysterious Leonard (Dave Bautista) comes along and, aided by his three equally mysterious friends, attacks the family. The reason? Well, according to the trailer, Leonard is trying to save the world from an apocalypse, and he needs to sacrifice the Andrew and Eric to do so.
Apart from that, we’ve very little to go on. Knock at the Cabin is listed as a thriller movie on IMDb, but we wouldn’t bet against some horror movie elements creeping in here too and the trailer really does seem to promise its fair share of spooks.
