Knock at the Cabin: Featurette On Combining Apocalypse & Home Invasion

Universal has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Knock at the Cabin that discusses blending the genres of "apocalypse" and "home invasion."

M. Night Shyamalan is known for blending various genres together, usually by way of a twist ending that sometimes can upend what you expect from the film in the end. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but there is no denying that the man usually swings big with each project that he is given. His next movie is Knock at the Cabin, an adaptation of the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul G. Tremblay, and it very much appears to be blending genres yet again. In a new behind-the-scenes featurette that Universal has released, Shyamalan and his cast talk about this blend of "apocalypse" with "home invasion."
