KNOCK AT THE CAB PUTS A GAY UPLE APOLYPTIC JEOPARDY, FOR BETTER OR WORSE

But wh the three characters jeopardy a gay uple and their adopted dghter, the film morphs aga to somethg else, the horrors of realy forcg their way to the agile idyll of ’s a strange, at tim strangely not very good, movie (the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw lled all “eply ridiculo”), but one that’s strangely fascatg for reasons might not always be gnisant of, existg a polil space that feels dly advertent and majorly glacially paced crease visibily for gay characters at the multiplex (om ongog blk-and-you’ll-miss- tokenism recent blockbters like Thor: Love and Thunr and Jurassic World: Domn to hard-to-miss centre stagg box office bombs like Bros and Spoiler Alert) has still, predictably, e wh veats and limatns.

Box office ncerns, fear of alienatg the straights, tmp ’s somethg quietly monumental then about Shyamalan, a proud mercialist, turng his eye toward Pl Tremblay’s 2018 novel The Cab at the End of the World, an uneven yet eerie ltle nightmare that centr a gay uple and their adopted dghter. The uple assume, as many queer people would, that the vasn is a homophobic attack, that the zealots have crafted an elaborate scheme orr to punish them for their sexualy.

Regardls of tentn – and I genuely don’t believe that the film is g om a place of bigotry – there’s somethg almost il about the first ever glossy, wi-releasg stud thriller to centre gay characters hged on the ia that if they don’t rip apart their fay, God will punish all. We see the wav risg and ski fallg via news reports, each time they refe to do the unimagable, and the ntrast between two privileged gay men choosg their own safety and happs over the fate of the world be creasgly absurd, as if we have no choice but to root for their stctn. Along wh beg warned of “a lonely life” ahead or dangers over sexual health, a tired piece of fx ncern trotted out by homophob is that same-sex relatnships will ultimately lead to the end of the world, blogil differenc g a cimatn populatn (as if there would ever be enough gay people for that to be a ncern).

M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN’S KNOCK AT THE CAB TRAILER HAS TIED UP GAYS — BUT NOT LIKE THAT

A tweet over the weekend scrib a showg at which a woman “cheered when bad thgs happened to the gay characters and loudly sang hymns through the creds” film is a more overtly relig tale than the book (a scene tailg how the four strangers are fact the four horsemen of the apolypse is one of many clunky new addns) and also mak the gay fay more obvly rponsible for the thoands of liv that are lost while they make their choice.

The book is some ways grimmer – the dghter gets killed accintally – but the film is more nclive: the stctn stops when the gay fay is no more (one dad is forced to shoot the other at the end). Cocintally, the film arrived jt days after an ter-breakg episo of HBO’s The Last of Us that broke off om the show’s ma narrative to tell of a gay uple also faced wh the end of the world (their story ends wh a double suici). His gay characters are too thly veloped and far too muted to be seen as people we should re that much about let alone buy as a uple (notably spe the R ratg, we don’t even get a kiss om the pair).

The most proment piece of rmatn om their backstory is that one of them was vlently queerbashed a bar years earlier which led to the purchase of a gun, a red meat red flag that seems to smugly suggt that given a ltle ph, even those pearl-clutchg gay liberals will learn to appreciate a rightwg way of life. As someone who has craved more gay characters genre films, ’s a thrill to see them ont and centre, tryg to survive a suatn of high-stak jeopardy rather than dyg of Aids or providg advice to a straight women (I did get a thartilly gleeful kick om seeg one of the dads efficiently beat up one of the trs). This uld be seen as eher good (lns happy to see a gay-led thriller) or bad (lns happy to see a gay-led thriller where the gays are tortured) be nice to see queer characters ontg a sexy urtroom thriller or a glossy slasher not que so punishgly related to sexualy?

'KNOCK AT THE CAB’ PUTS GAY DADS THROUGH HELL AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Night Shyamalan's latt film is a look to a disastro vatn taken by a gay uple and their dghter -- and uld be one of the bt movi of his at the Cab, which hs theaters on Febary 3, is the prolific and sometim ntroversial director's return to the big screen followg 2021's movie follows a gay uple, played by Glee alum Jonathan Groff and Out ver star Ben Aldridge, and their dghter as they are taken hostage by four armed strangers while on vatn at a b the woods.

Tremblay, is a horror film centered around two whe gays and their adopted dghter. Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge play the gay dads, while Dave Btista, Nikki Ama-Bird, Abby Qun, and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grt) are the apolypse-foreeg kidnappers who tie up the uple.

Look, I know a lot of gay guys want Dave Btista to tie them up — but not like that, Shyamalan.

MEET THE DREAMY GAY STARS OF M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN’S UPG HORROR MOVIE ‘A KNOCK AT THE CAB’

Knock at the Cab Has Tied Up Gay Guys — But Not Like That. The basic premise is that a gay uple and their adopted dghter are on a vatn a remote b Pennsylvania when four strangers e to the b and tell them that the world will end unls they ci to sacrifice one of their own.

I'll also mentn that even though I don't believe they are well-veloped characters, Ben Aldridge and Jonathan Groff, who play the gay uple, Eric and Andrew, have good chemistry and react appropriately this suatn.

Four strangers approach a remote b occupied by a gay married uple wh a seven-year-old dghter. Is god the vil who, and why this particular fay, all the easily spotted red herrrgs are here, settg up the fay as a same sex fay where one of the hbands has an horrific homophobic attack, he tri to lead to a false assumptn, as for the endg, the expected twist never arrived.
