Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge play daddies who are out for a vacation with their daughter in the titular cabin. Almost immediately, four ominous people show up with a mind-boggling decision: One of the family members must die by the hands of their spouse and they must choose which one. Why? To save the world from yet another apocalypse. Being that this is the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, you can expect some tension from his juxtaposition of languid camerawork and forceful moments of emotion. The actors all ramp up the drama with their intense performances. This basically boils down to an extended debate with the daddies doubting the inevitable and the quartet desperately pleading to save the world. As such, there aren’t any scares and the stress level stays at the same mild buzz without ever building to any crescendo.
