M Night Shyamalan's Knock At The Cabin to premiere on March 24

The much-anticipated horror thriller Knock At The Cabin, directed by well-known filmmaker M Night Shyamalan, has locked the date for its release. It will have its digital premiere in the US on March 24, streaming platform Peacock announced.

The Universal Pictures film, based on Paul Tremblay's 2018 book The Cabin at the End of the World, released theatrically on February 3.


According to the entertainment website Deadline, the film centres on a young girl (Kristen Cui) and her parents (Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge), vacationing at a remote cabin. They are taken hostage by four armed strangers (Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint, and Abby Quinn), who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse.

Shyamalan co-wrote the script with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman. Desmond and Sherman have also produced the film alongside Marc Bienstock and Ashwin Rajan.

In India, Knock at the Cabin is available to watch on rent on the streaming platform Prime Video.

Shyamalan’s next feature directorial is Trap, scheduled to be released on August 2, 2024. The project is part of the multi-year first-look directing and producing deal the filmmaker locked with Warner Bros Pictures Group last month.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
