The author of the book in which ‘Knock on the Door’ is inspired has spoken about the “quite darker” ending of Shyamalan’s film.
The film is based on the novel by Paul Tremblay, ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’. Its creator has shared some thoughts on the film – which he has seen twice – with Los Angeles Times.
“I think the end of the movie is much darker than in my book. I don’t mean this lightlyTremblay admitted.
“Politics aside, on a character level, there’s the idea of, ‘What are Andrew and Wen going to do now?'”
“They have not only murdered Eric How are you going to go ahead with that? – But they will have to move on knowing that there is a superior being controlling the universe and that it is extremely cruel to them.”
When asked if he would write a sequel to the book, Tremblay claimed not to have that in mind, adding that “he is strangely interested in ‘what Wen and Andrew will do now’.“
After this, he added that (although he likes the film), he prefers its ending and stated: “Even though I read the script, it’s very different when you see it on screen. It was a lot to process. A fun experience, of course, but very, very strange.”
Talking with Digital SpyShyamalan had previously explained why he had chosen to change the ending of the novel.
“From the beginning, when this book came to me to produce it, I felt very strongly that the story could not go the way it was written.. It just can’t, it can’t go that way for me, I have my feelings about it,” she said.
Shyamalan also confirmed that he sought Tremblay’s approval for the change. The author told him that a similar ending to the book had been considered at one point.
‘Knock on the Door’ is available in theaters.
