The apocalyptical movie, co-written, directed and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, is based on the 2018 novel 'The cabin at the end of the world' by Paul G. Tremblay.
Little Wen is collecting grasshoppers by the cabin she stays in with her parents.
A man approaches her and they talk for a while .After they befriend,the man reveals his intentions,and Wen runs into the house getting her parents inside,locking the doors.
Hearing the strangers knocking, and being told by Wen the strangers have weapons,her daddies lock the doors. Seeing them through the windows carrying large weapons, they check all the doors and windows to make sure they can't come in,but they break down the windows and doors, and come in.
After presenting themselves, the strangers tell them the most unbelievable story, about the end of the world being set in motion, their sacrifice being the only thing able to stop it and save the world, and it can't be a su1cide, one of them must k1ll the other.
The two men do not believe them and the strangers start k1lling each other, the one who k1lled being the next one to be k1lled,unleashing a plague or disaster event shown on tv.
At first the men do not believe anything,but one of them starts wondering about it all.
I personally liked the movie, it gripped me, and I really enjoyed the story. I liked the relationship between the family who really loved each other. The 4 people, SPOILER revealed later as the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse END OF SPOILER, aren’t bad or evil, and whenever they have to do something bad, like break the windows - they start cleaning up, or hurt one of them - they start patching them up.
The whole movie the question is, could you k1ll the one you love, to stop the end of the world?
I liked the way the movie was directed, with the close-ups and the way it changed focus.
I liked the family’s cabin in the woods, it was so beautiful there.
The actors were all great,they had to act scared,sad,to cry,and you could just see all the emotions on their face.
