Recently we spoke about how movies such as White Noise, Nope, Independence Day, and even Donnie Darko seemed to predict future events in an eerie fashion. Others may think of The Simpsons or Family Guy. Some call this predictive programming but not all ‘programming’ needs to be ‘predictive’ in a conspiratorial sense.
(POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT) The new M. Night Shyamalan movie, Knock at the Cabin, tells the story of a couple and their young daughter confronted by two men and two women while vacationing in the woods. The four home invaders try to convince the family that they need to sacrifice one of themselves in order to prevent the apocalypse. Each of the invaders wears a shirt signifying their relationship to one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse: red (war), black (famine), pale yellow (death), white (conquest). In the film the characters represent in parallel to the latter: penitence, nurturing, healing, and guidance. After each request for a sacrifice is denied one of the ‘horses’ is killed resulting in a “part of humanity” being judged. Each of their deaths unleashes a new disaster on humanity. Red unleashes earthquakes and tsunamis, black unleashes plague, pale-yellow leads to planes falling from the sky, and white results in lighting strikes causing massive fires.
The movie was released on February 3, 2023. On the night of its release a train carry toxic chemicals derailed in Ohio leading to one of the worst environmental disasters in history, which as of now is still ongoing, with countless people already feeling the consequences and many to become ill as a result. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. A global fire has yet to be unleashed. Is humanity being judged or is this all business as usual?
