Andrew Scott, the hot priest on Fleabag, is showcasing his sense of humor and joked about fans who are still watching the series five years later.
The actor joined Season 2 of the comedy series, becoming Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag’s love interest. Ahead of the fifth anniversary since the series finale, Scott has a thing to say to those who have continued to obsess over his character and the show.
“Go out and get some fresh air,” Scott told EW, laughing. “Stop watching. Stop crying. Stop crying in your room with your curtains closed. Do something better with your life. It’s a great show, we all love it, but come on now, pull yourself together. Open the curtains and go outside.”
Andrew Scott has a message for people still watching #Fleabag.

Ferrari Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Patrick Dempsey, Jack O’Connell, and Sarah Gadon
Director: Michael Mann
Ferrari Movie Review is Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: The cast races are exciting and brutal, and going behind the scenes of the Ferrari business is quite interesting.
What’s Bad: The non-Italian actors feel out of place, especially regarding their fake accents, which sadly hurt their performances.
Loo Break: The movie’s start is chaotic and all over the place, so you could go to the loo during it and not miss much.
Watch or Not?: Watch if you are in for the car races or are a Ferrari fan; if not, there are better options.

Following The Film Stage’s collective top 50 films of 2023, as part of our year-end coverage, our contributors are sharing their personal top 10 lists.
When A.O Scott announced his departure as the New York Times film critic back in March, he cited the “feeling of disconnection between the critic and the audience” as his reason for leaving the coveted post. It’s hard to blame him; when he revealed his best-of-the-year list at the tail end of 2022, his social media mentions quickly turned hostile, accused of elitism due to not featuring Top Gun: Maverick in his picks (that his number 1 was a commercial hit in the form of Jordan Peele’s Nope was an irony not entirely lost in the mix). Audiences used to look towards critics for guidance, to find the hidden gems among the dozens of new releases released every week. Now, it seemed, the majority just wanted confirmation...

In only a few months, the 2023/24 awards season will have more or less taken shape. While a couple of these performances may contend for Oscars (and we’re hedging our bets with one pick), the purpose of this list, which excludes festival titles that haven’t been released to the general public, is to spotlight incredible work we fear could go unrecognized.

Hello again Blu-ray fans! It's been a few, but we're back in business with an all-new round-up of some of the best new Blu-ray releases you can find right now. As always, I encourage you to embrace the wonderful world of physical media, because while streaming is convenient, it's not forever. This latest round-up features a not-great Marvel sequel, the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, a Ridley Scott '90s classic, one of the two competing asteroid movies of 1998, a Michael Mann in dude's rock mode, and an underrated erotic thriller from Jane Campion. Keep spinning those discs.
Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania
Oh boy, what a mess. I'll be the first to admit that I've grown weary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so perhaps that's clouding my judgment. But in my humble opinion, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is one of the worst things the MCU has ever produced.

Based on the book ‘The Cabin at the End of the World’, there was little bit of controversy when Knock at the Cabin was released without any information to say this was based on the book or its author Paul Tremblay. But, this may have actually worked out okay for the author, as I’m sure there were many people like myself who finally got around to checking out the book after seeing the trailer. And after finishing the book and very much enjoying it, I was ready to watch the movie.

This post contains heavy spoilers for Knock at the Cabin and The Cabin at the End of the World.
Andrew stares at his husband Eric, no longer able to contain his disbelief. The couple, played by Ben Aldridge and Jonathan Groff, have spent the day undergoing a horrific ordeal, forced by the hulking but gentle Leonard (Dave Bautista) and his three associates to choose to sacrifice a member of their family, including their young daughter Wen (Kristen Cui). If they don’t make that choice, then the apocalypse will occur.
Andrew thinks he and Eric are together in their resistance, fueled by his conviction that Leonard is simply a bigot who put together an elaborate plot to torture them. But Andrew starts to see a break in his husband’s eyes. He sees Eric’s face soften, a look of resolute compassion replacing the fear and anger that was there before.

Peacock continues to expand its growing library of films with “Knock at the Cabin,” which will stream exclusively on the NBC platform starting March 24.
The M. Night Shyamalan thriller, starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge and Rupert Grint, follows three family members who are camping in the woods and are suddenly interrupted by four strangers with visions of an impending apocalypse. The only way to prevent the end of the world, they claim, is to have the family willingly kill one of their own.
The movie collected $14.2 million in its opening weekend in February, enough to top box office charts and dethrone “Avatar: The Way of Water.” It also landed a promising “A-” CinemaScore from ticket buyers.
However, Shyamalan’s new horror thriller wasn’t as much of a hit with critics.

Knock at the Cabin (2023).The categorical strictures of genre filmmaking have always done a disservice to M. Night Shyamalan. The director’s films are built upwards from otherwise earthbound drama, with their supernatural, comic-book tropes, and general suspense working as auxiliary elements rather than storytelling engines. This “formula”—a term Shyamalan justly bristles at—yields consistently fascinating results, deriving emotional resolve from narrative dissonance. This can be seen in everything from Unbreakable (2000) to The Happening (2008), which eschew conventional climaxes for parting acknowledgements of their characters’ virtues and weaknesses: the former film culminates with Bruce Willis’s technically invincible, reluctant hero, David Dunne, encountering his one debility, water, and is forced to rely on those he was initially saving to then save him, before the villain can be truly apprehended. It’s far from a perfect victory; instead, it’s a sober acceptance of responsibility, with action, violence, superficial excitement all secondary.

Dave Bautista has appeared in films like Glass Onion and Guardians of the Galaxy, but the pro-wrestler-turned-actor has plenty of major surprises up his sleeve for fans of the horror genre. His latest movie, Knock at the Cabin, unites the star with the acclaimed and controversial director M. Night Shyamalan for a film that many critics are praising as daring and innovative. Bautista campaigned hard for his role in Knock at the Cabin, revealing recently in an interview with Jimmy Fallon that he endured a series of top-secret meetings with the director before he was able to get confirmation that he landed the part.

Good ol' M. Night Shyamalan. You can always rely on the mind behind "Signs," "Split," and "Servant" to stir the pot for some reason or another. His latest movie, "Knock at the Cabin," is no exception. Depending on who you ask, Shyamalan's feature is either a chilling, disturbing film anchored by an astonishing Dave Bautista performance or yet another baffling and problematic -- but never boring -- addition to his growing collection of idiosyncratic indie-budget thrillers à la "The Visit" and "Old," if not a little bit of both.
Based on the 2018 novel "The Cabin at the End of the World" by Paul G. Tremblay (who has his own thoughts about Shyamalan's big screen adaptation of his book), "Knock at the Cabin" centers on a family of three -- played by Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, and Kristen Cui -- who are vacationing at a remote cabin in the forest when...

It’s easy to make fun of the lowlights of M. Night Shyamalan’s filmography, but his best movies are excellent genre thrillers that remain entertaining even after you know the twist. The director’s biggest hits were original ideas. But he nearly got behind the camera for an installment of a beloved franchise. In an interview promoting Shyamalan’s latest work Knock at the Cabin, Rupert Grint revealed that the filmmaker was in talks to direct one of the Harry Potter movies.

M. Night Shyamalan’s movies might be divisive. But if there’s one thing everyone can agree on, his films — which usually fall in the world of horror — certainly leave audiences talking. That’s definitely the case with 2023’s Knock at the Cabin. The film even features the introduction of a new child actor with young Kristen Cui. Fans of The Sixth Sense know Shyamalan’s history with discovering new and emerging talent.

M. Night Shyamalan is best known for writing and directing horror films such as The Sixth Sense, Signs, and Split. But many of his movies also have something to say about family. 2023’s Knock at the Cabin certainly does, as its story hinges on a family thrust into a deadly situation. However, in a comedic twist, the movie highlights Kc and The Sunshine Band’s iconic 1978 single “Boogie Shoes.”

For better or worse, the past 25 years of horror movies have been massively affected by the work of M. Night Shyamalan. Films like The Sixth Sense and Signs led many to hail the director as a modern-day Alfred Hitchcock. But Shyamalan’s 2023 film, Knock at the Cabin, features something rarely seen in a mainstream horror film: a married gay couple.

Groff is perhaps best known for his work both on stage and on television.

M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most renowned directors in the horror genre, having created classics like The Sixth Sense and The Village. His films often feature suspenseful and often unexpected plot twists, creating a unique tension and anticipation as the story slowly unfolds. But what is more interesting is why the Knock at the Cabin writer/director withholds the goriest parts of his movies from horror fans.

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest twist is specifically for readers of the novel “The Cabin at the End of the World.”
Shymalan’s latest film “Knock at the Cabin,” which has gained controversy and acclaim for its mainstream portrayal of a queer couple, was based on Paul Tremblay’s novel, “The Cabin at the End of the World.” The film centers on fathers Andrew (Ben Aldridge) and Eric (Jonathan Groff) and their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) who are told by intruders, led by Leonard (Dave Bautista), that they must kill one of their family members to survive the apocalypse.
Director Shyamalan co-wrote the screenplay with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman. In Shyamalan’s film, Andrew decides to murder his husband Eric, with Eric’s consent, and the apocalypse is stopped, with Andrew and Wen surviving. In the novel, which ends more ambiguously, Wen is accidentally killed...

As an actor, Jonathan Groff has led something of a double life. Netflix viewers may know him as the star of David Fincher's "Mindhunter," where he played an FBI behavioral scientist interviewing serial killers like Charles Manson. In "The Matrix Resurrections," Groff took over from Hugo Weaving as the villainous Agent Smith, earning himself the nickname "The Savage" on the set because he "would just go so hard" during his stunt training. Then, there's the new M. Night Shyamalan thriller, "Knock at the Cabin," where Groff plays the victim of an apocalyptic home invasion in the proverbial cabin in the woods.
Yet despite memorable horror and action credits like these, Groff remains a true chameleon who isn't easily pigeonholed. He's also a Tony Award-nominated stage actor, who has appeared in "Hamilton" on Broadway and further showed off his singing skills by guest-starring on "Glee." In Disney's "Frozen" and "Frozen II...

“Knock at the Cabin” is the #1 movie in the country. And it’s easy to see why.
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller spotlights a loving same-sex couple (played by Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) and their adorable daughter (Kristen Cui), whose quiet weekend away in the Pennsylvania woods is interrupted when four strangers (led by Dave Bautista) knock on their cabin door. The strangers break their way in and deliver a horrible ultimatum: one of the family members must kill another family member to avert the end of the world. Are they psychotic or … are they telling the truth?
TheWrap spoke to Aldridge about becoming a part of Shyamalan’s new nightmare, what it was like acting directly to camera, telling queer stories and how game Groff was to sing his “Frozen 2” song.

This weekend, M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin arrived in theaters and asked audiences everywhere – would you sacrifice someone you loved for the greater good or would you fight for your family? The trio of performers at the center of this conflict are Ben Aldridge, Jonathan Groff and newcomer Kristen Cui who play a family that must make an impossible decision about the fate of humanity, as poised by Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Abby Quinn.
During a recent press day for Knock at the Cabin, Daily Dead had the opportunity to chat with both Groff and Aldridge about their involvement with Shyamalan’s latest feature, and the duo discussed the secrecy surrounding the project when they were first approached to audition, their experiences collaborating with Night as well as the rest of the cast, how Knock’s youngest cast member – Kristen Cui – repeatedly stole the show,...

This post contains spoilers for "Knock at the Cabin."
When four strangers interrupt your vacation by breaking into your cabin with horrifying homemade weapons and declaring that the end of the world is coming, you might not pay too much attention to what they're wearing. That's especially true of M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller "Knock at the Cabin," in which the home invaders are wearing a pretty unremarkable uniform of blue jeans, brown belts, and button-down shirts.
But these outfits aren't just something the strangers threw on. As they explain to the family they've taken captive -- dads Eric (Jonathan Groff) and Andrew (Ben Aldridge), and their adopted daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) -- they were brought to the cabin after being plagued by visions of the apocalypse. They're here to present Andrew, Eric, and Wen with a chance to prevent the end of the world by sacrificing a member of their own family.

Paul Tremblay’s novel The Cabin at the End of the World feels like the perfect source material for an M. Night Shyamalan film. The story of an isolated cabin housing an apocalyptic choice seems well-suited for a director who has built his name with intimate stories that shake the foundations of everything we know.
Tremblay’s novel follows Andrew (Ben Aldridge) and Eric (Jonathan Groff), a couple vacationing with their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) at a Pennsylvania lake house when a knock at their door pits their family’s survival against the continuation of humanity. Four strangers, Leonard (Dave Bautista), Sabrina (Nikki Amuka-Bird), Adriane (Abby Quinn), and Redmond (Rupert Grint) have come to present them with a choice: choose and kill a member of their family or unleash the apocalypse.
