I was having a difficult time squeezing whatever redeeming qualities it could possessed, which I could only identified a couple of. First, I liked the eeriness. The stillness of atmosphere and the uncanny changes in the environment was something I was a bit spooked. Unfortunately it was only present at the first 25% of the book. The protagonist's paranoia/worry was interesting at first, but that's about it. The fox 🦊 was cute. Yup, that's all the positives. In addition to his typical paranoia and obsession with guns, Koontz now bashes the following in this book: September (derived from the Latin word for “seventh”) was the seventh month of the Roman calendar, but it’s the ninth month of ours. I believe we should call it Nonus (Latin for “ninth”). This will require altering some song lyrics and scrubbing the word “September” from every book ever published. If you’re with me, join the organization I’ve formed—All of Us for Nonus. Question for discussion at this month’s meeting of Nonus chapters nationwide: Should those who refuse to stop saying “September” be sent to reeducation camps? A Home at the End of the World (2004)".

Bobby Morrow's life in suburban Cleveland has been tinged with tragedy since he was a young boy, losing first his beloved older brother to a freak accident, then his mother to illness, and finally his father. As a rebellious teenager, he meets the conservative and gawky Jonathan Glover in high school, and he becomes a regular visitor to the Glover home, where he introduces his friend and his mother Alice to marijuana and the music of Laura Nyro. Jonathan, who is slowly coming out as a homosexual, initiates Bobby into adolescent mutual masturbation during their frequent sleepovers. When Alice catches them both masturbating in a car, Jonathan, embarrassed, tells Bobby he is going to leave as soon as he finishes high school. Alice teaches Bobby how to bake, unintentionally setting him on a career path that eventually takes him to New York City in 1982, where Jonathan is sharing a colorful East Village apartment with bohemian Clare. Bobby moves in, and the three create their own household. Best Scared-As-S**t Performance Winner 2013 MTV Movie Awards". MTV Movie Awards. MTV. Archived from the original on December 19, 2013 .

The next day, as the intruders prepare to sacrifice Adriane, Andrew escapes the cabin and retrieves his gun from the car. He kills Adriane, but during a struggle with Leonard over the gun, Wen is accidentally shot and killed. Devastated, Leonard allows himself to be tied up by Eric and Andrew, but he says that Wen's death has not stopped the apocalypse because she was not a willing sacrifice, and Eric or Andrew still must die. Eric has begun to wonder if the story is true and has visions of flies that lead him to turn on the TV, which shows an outbreak of bird flu. Andrew insists the disasters are coincidental and the visitors were anticipating pre-scheduled news broadcasting. Sabrina describes how she and the other visitors were led by their visions and compulsions to find each other online, execute details of their plan such as creating their weapons, and to continue forward when they wanted to resist. She decides that, after Wen's death, she wants to abandon her task. Sabrina kills Leonard and offers to lead Eric and Andrew to Redmond's car. The TV shows seven spontaneous plane crashes taking place around the world, seemingly fulfilling the prediction of the sky falling.But after an accident, this unspeakable evil managed to contaminate various researchers finding a way out of his inprissionment!!! The film was shot on location in New York City, Phoenix, and Schomberg and Toronto in Ontario, Canada. In the run up to this, I thought it would turn out to be a conspiracy involving a global corporation or the military or something. But someone of Koontz’s persuasions obviously has no problem with those, or with how easily his evil gang members can get their hands on the guns that killed the main character’s family. No no. It’s the fascist government wanting to take your guns who’s at fault. Busch, Anita (April 12, 2018). "FilmNation Acquires Paul Tremblay's The Cabin At The End Of The World". Deadline Hollywood .

The endings feel like he was pressed for time and just had to throw something down so he could turn it in. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 and ½ stars out of four and wrote, "The movie exists outside our expectations for such stories. Nothing about it is conventional. The three-member household is puzzling not only to us, but to its members. We expect conflict, resolution, an ending happy or sad, but what we get is mostly life, muddling through . . . Colin Farrell is astonishing in the movie, not least because the character is such a departure from everything he has done before." [5] Katie is determined to stop Carrier and his plans for Moloch. She teams up with a young girl named Rain, who is also a target of Carrier’s. Together, Katie and Rain must face the dangers of Jacob’s Ladder Island and the power of Moloch.
