(Picture: Universal Studios)Once upon a time, M Night Shyamalan knew how to make viewers sweat. His best thrillers, even at their cheesiest, tapped into real and topical fears.
This one, an adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World, tries desperately hard to be zeitgeisty, but the only panic I experienced was on behalf of former Harry Potter star, Rupert Grint. Alas, poor Rupert. His career is in really bad shape.
