KNOCK AT THE CABIN MOVIE REVIEW

Are you ready for a new M. Night film? After Old I still can’t believe people give him the benefit of the doubt anymore, but here we are. And he’s scored a pretty big horror property, the adaptation of horror novelist Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World, a book that was getting tons of praise in horror literary circles. The cabin, which of course is in the woods, contains two married men and their daughter just having a getaway, when there’s a titular knock. It’s Dave Bautista and three other folks who are there to as gently as possible hold this family hostage and convince them that if one of them doesn’t choose willingly to kill themselves, the entire world is going to end. Hard sell. Chris, Wright, and Alan review this film and all had very different feelings about M. Night before they even saw this movie. Check it out to see if anything changes for them.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Alan Galinsky (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Deliberations of Doom)

Born and raised in Texas, Alan Galinsky is a lifetime movie fan. As a youth, he would rent multiple movies every weekend and go to the theater for the latest releases, and that pace has remained steady. When Alan isn’t watching movies, you can find him talking about movies. When he’s not talking about movies, you can find him playing music in the band Delicate Boys.
