Iconic filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan's Knock At The Cabin is on its way and we couldn't be more excited/scared. The Sixth Sense thriller-maker is set to make us sweat with a new adaptation of The Cabin at the End of the World.

The upcoming movie with a 1990s old-school thriller vibe will star Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge and Rupert Grint.

The Signs filmmaker will be creating some spine-chilling material from the brain behind author Paul Tremblay.

Speaking to CNBC, Shyamalan said: "I honestly spent a chunk of my 2022 spring quelling internet rumours and putting out Twitter fires connecting the book and movie.

"It reached a point in early June where that became impossible, however, with all the information out there, including the IMDb page.

"I have been doing my part to be respectful of movie marketing desires and certainly wouldn’t dream of spoiling anything.

"Like the majority of adaptations, there will be story changes and differences compared to the book so my readers will still be surprised by the film."

Tremblay added: "When it didn’t work out with the first director, Night was still interested in producing, which then became him wanting to rewrite the script and direct as well.”

The author explained: "The Cabin at the End of the World is itself a reaction to the home invasion film sub-genre.

"Most of me is excited and intrigued at the prospect of seeing my story reimagined or refracted on screen.

"But I’d be lying if I said I was egoless about the whole experience. This novel means a great deal to me."

We're terrified already.
