Author Paul Tremblay had already received international acclaim for his past books including “A Head Full of Ghosts,” which earned the 2015 Bram Stoker Award for best novel. 

In 2018, Tremblay unleashed his newest work called “A Cabin at the End of the World” — an apocalyptic yet intimate tale about faith, belief and the end of the world. It didn’t take long for Hollywood to get interested in an adaptation with the original writers behind a screenplay reaching out to famed director M. Night Shyamalan about producing the project.

Rather than just produce, however, Shyamalan decided to take on the entire project himself as both a director and a co-writer. The final adaptation centers around a family confronted by four strangers promising that the end of the world is upon them unless they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice…

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to keep an eye out for biblical disasters and catch some grasshoppers as we review the 2023 film “Knock at the Cabin”…
