Knock on the Door: our review and four scenes from the film
Sure: seeing and hearing them, the four knocking on the door, and breaking into the isolated house in the Pennsylvania woods which is the only setting for the film, you would immediately tell that they are crazy. The most obvious reaction – even if you know we’re inside a film, and a film by Shyamalan, and a film by Shyamalan that was inspired by beautiful, very Hitchcockian opening credits – is to say that you are dealing with religious fanatics / conspiracy theorists who have come out, as they have actually come out, from some internet manhole. Nevertheless.
Yet, increasingly Hitchcockian, M. Night Shyamalan makes a film that addresses the great questions of the present – from understanding what is true and what is not, what is mythomaniac and paranoid delirium and what is not, up to the complex dialectic between individual and community, and between protection of the most immediate affections and wider responsibilities – without ever forgetting the needs of suspense and entertainment.
