The Big Picture No matter whether you like him or not, there is no one out there who makes movies quite like writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. His latest, Knock at the Cabin, is no exception. In addition to giving us the best performance from actor Dave Bautista to date, it also sees Shyamalan making rather significant alterations to its source material while still keeping much of its prevailing sense of dread.
Wen Doesn’t Die Where the novel culminates in the tragic accidental death of the young Wen, played in Knock at the Cabin by Kristen Cui, that doesn’t happen here. This softens the story somewhat as the source material spends an agonizing amount of time with her parents grappling with what they have done and the unimaginable loss they are now faced with.
Leonard Dies By His Own Hand Though the deaths of all his fellow believers came at the hands of another, that is not what happens to Leonard here. In the book, he had actually been killed by another member of his group who no longer wanted to continue on with the mission. In the film, he tries one last time to convince Andrew and Eric to make the sacrifice he believes is necessary to save the world.
