Critical & Audience Response To Knock At The Cabin Explained
Knock at the Cabin received much lower box office numbers than some of Shyamalan's other recent films. Grossing $54.1 million against a $20 million budget, the movie was still a success but failed to match the $90.2 million that Old earned and the $247 million of Glass. It was also a source of controversy, given that the story strayed so much from Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World.
While Knock at the Cabin started with Shyamalan's best Rotten Tomatoes score in years, it has since fallen considerably in the eyes of critics and audiences alike. Originally receiving a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, its ratings have since dropped to 67% with 319 reviews from critics. While still rated Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes, that's a massive change. Audiences, as well, have slowly soured on the project and left a 63% score with over 1,000 reviews.
The diversion from the source material is a major reason why critics have called the film mediocre in reviews. Shyamalan takes a psychological horror and turns Knock at the Cabin into an apocalyptic thriller, which completely misses the point of the original project. While critics may consider Knock at the Cabin middling, it remains to be seen if the scores will change after the project comes to Peacock.
