The official synopsis for the movie reads: “While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.”

Inour review, we said it “isn’t the scariest movie M. Night Shyamalan has made, but it’s one of the most challenging; a gripping psychological drama that puts you in the place of its protagonists as they are given an impossible ultimatum.”
