M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie rather openly wonders if the destruction of the gay family could save humanity.
concerns the country-home invasion of gay couple Andrew and Eric . When a bespectacled Leonard trots up to their adopted daughter Wen , she doesn’t say, “Oh, you must be my daddies’ good friend, what with your big muscles, shaved head, deep voice, and general vibe of cartoonish butchness.” She asks why he’s there, and he tells her that he’s there to be her friend. It’s a legitimately creepy scene, this encounter between oversharing child and soft-spoken, over-friendly adult.
“We don’t have one homophobic bone in our bodies,” claims Sabrina, a nurse who straddles the line between enacting enough force to ensure Andrew and Eric submit and then tending to the wounds that she creates. Leonard shows them scenes of devastation on television, including tsunamis, plane crashes, and the outbreak of the X9 virus, which is particularly fatal to kids under 10. He rattles off Revelation-like prophecy: “The skies will fall and crash to the earth like pieces of glass.

Jonathan Groff Had a ‘Primal’ Reaction to Shyamalan’s ‘Knock at the Cabin’When you’re in a M. Night Shyamalan movie, it’s easy to understand an actor obsessing over the eventual twists that are surely to come. But as Jonathan Groff experienced in Shyamalan’s new film Knock at the Cabin (February 3), it’s easy to get “lost” in the story. “We're really submitting to his vision and trying to help him achieve exactly what he wants,” Groff told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. Groff plays Andrew, a father held hostage with his partner and young daughter by criminals who force them to make an impossible decision to avert the end of the apocalypse. Groff says he understood Andrew “in a primal way” and that this was “the first time I've ever done a horror movie. So, it was a real education.” For an actor so known for his voice, both in the Frozen franchise (as Kristoff), but also in Broadway musicals like Spring Awakening and Hamilton, the difference between stage and screen is huge. “I've really appreciated my time doing film and television, because it really keeps me on my toes” and that “there is something really freeing about the intimacy of film and TV that I really love.” Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
