Daily News | M. Night Shyamalan on the secret and not-so-secret Philly connections of ‘Knock at the Cabin’
The majority of the movie is spent at the titular cabin rental, identified as somewhere in Pennsylvania. If those woods look familiar to South Jersey locals, it’s because Shyamalan filmed in the Pine Barrens forest.
The Pine Barrens occupy 1.1 million acres of land, boasting thousands of pine trees as well as a vast network of marshes and bogs. The tall, thin pines create a pristine setting that can feel magical. “What you’re looking for is the kind of endless feeling of the forest for the shots,” said Shyamalan. “By itself, you’re conveying a certain sense of utopia, because it’s quite beautiful, but a sense of isolation as well, that becomes very precarious because the characters are in trouble.
Over in Southampton Township on N.J. Route 70, the small ice cream shop Evergreen Dairy Bar also makes an appearance inon the film crew’s arrival in the area and the shop’s new sign that read “Angie’s Roadside Diner.” Shyamalan remembers the shop fondly.
