However, his best pictures are the ones that keep audiences guessing, and Knock at the Cabin is the perfect example. Known for his twisty and overly ambitious - often to a fault - projects, Shyamalan has made numerous memorable movies. The calm, but clearly unnerved visitors explain that, in order to save the world, the family must choose one of their own and willingly sacrifice them. The film - starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, and Rupert Grint - follows a family of three whose remote rental cottage is invaded by four strangers. Night Shyamalan is back in form with Knock at the Cabin, a tense, well-made thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Star Trek: Picard season 3’s ending, explained Who dies at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. To find out if DT liked the movie or not, read our M3GAN review here. If the new film does succeed, though, then Johnstone, Cooper, and producer James Wan have already opened the door for M3GAN’s return. Whether or not said sequel is ever made will, of course, depend entirely on how well M3GAN does at the box office. The film, in other words, ends by setting up a potential sequel for itself, one in which M3GAN finds new power via the internet. Johnstone and screenwriter Akela Cooper heavily imply that M3GAN was able to survive her physical body’s destruction by hacking into the very internet network that powers her creator’s home. M3GAN’s final image makes it clear that the film’s eponymous doll hasn’t totally been killed. How does M3GAN’s ending set up a potential sequel? Just before the film cuts to black, Gemma’s custom-built, Alexa-esque smart home device, which controls her entire house, suddenly turns on all on its own. However, the film’s seemingly happy ending takes a brief turn for the worse after Gemma and Cady walk out of frame only for director Gerard Johnstone’s camera to linger on the image of Gemma’s empty home. Moments later, Gemma and Cady walk out of their house and are welcomed by the former’s surviving coworkers, as well as a whole squad of policemen. After several moments of intense back-and-forth, Gemma finally manages to put M3GAN’s reign of terror to an end by driving a screwdriver through her exposed head. As a result, Cady remote controls Bruce, a powerful, non-sentient robot that Gemma built in college, to turn the tide of her and her aunt’s fight with M3GAN. While it seems for a moment like Cady may actually side with M3GAN, a heart-to-heart conversation with Gemma had actually rehabilitated her trust in her aunt earlier in the night. The doll’s threat is interrupted, however, by Cady, who finally realizes just how sadistic her “best friend” has become. When Gemma is alerted to her presence, a brutal fight breaks out between the two that momentarily ends when M3GAN threatens to cripple Gemma, which would put her in the permanent care of M3GAN. M3GAN’s actions inevitably ruin David’s public launch of the M3GAN toy line, but they don’t prevent her from stealing a car and driving back to Gemma’s house in the middle of the night. M3GAN’s kill spree begins Geoffrey Short/Universal PicturesĪfterward, M3GAN goes on a brief killing spree by brutally murdering Gemma’s boss, David (Ronny Chieng), as well as his assistant, Kurt (Stephane Garneau-Monten), with the blade of a paper cutter. Unfortunately, when M3GAN is thoughtlessly hooked back up to the lab’s diagnostic equipment by Gemma’s coworkers, she’s able to wake herself back up and free herself from her constraints. Once Gemma begins to suspect M3GAN, she safely manages to shut the doll down and take her back to her lab. Unsurprisingly, it isn’t long before M3GAN begins to take her purpose of protecting Cady so seriously that she’s killing any animals and people that pose any kind of threat to her human companion. Gemma creates M3GAN partly out of her own ambition and partly so that she doesn’t have to take on as active of a role in raising her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). What could possibly go wrong? For anyone who’s seen or even heard of the Child’s Play movies, you know the answer: everything.
