The horror genre is one that is deeply loved by many, and in recent years fans of horror have been treated to an assortment of films that remind them why they fell in love with the genre. M. Night Shyamalan is a name attached to horror with his often genre bending stories that leaves audiences in suspense to the very end. Knock at the Cabin is his most recent work, which premiered in theaters in February, and follows a couple’s (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) difficult decision to decide the fate of the world when four strangers (Dave Bautista, Abby Quinn, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint) demand they must sacrifice themselves or their daughter (Kristen Cui) to stop the apocalypse.

Abby Quinn shared with Popternative what it’s like working in the horror genre as it gets elevated every year. “I feel like I try just not to think about it when we we’re filming because when I would talk to a friend about you know working on this project that usually would be that question [that] came up a couple times and I was like I don’t think I can think about it because I will spin out and that’ll become my focus because you know, thinking about the end result or people seeing, it but since it’s been finished it’s been a thought in my mind more than it was when I was actually filming,” she said, adding, “I feel really lucky to be able to make a movie that hopefully people enjoy, and to be making a movie in a genre that people are really gravitating to and I think especially with Knight’s movies, it is genre bending and there are so many different elements. So I’m excited for that too because it really does have like kind of everything within a horror, under the horror umbrella.”
