Knock Knock (2008)

not horrible nor great

Brilliant and touching

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This film like many other direct to DVD horror was less than appealing in many ways but also kind of enjoyable. I thought the acting was decent and some of the f/x were okay but where the hell did the 1.2 million dollar budget go. What did they spend the money on booze and drugs after the shoot because for the life of me I just don't see how this film cost that much. They shot the film in one small rural area and there were about 6 no name actors that got paid maybe 5 grand each to do this so where did all the money go. I am just as perplexed as you are. Anyway I do have a soft spot for backwoods horror so maybe the four out of ten is a bit bias but ooh well it still was kind of enjoyable to say the least.....

Knock Knock is a film that needs a chance. This is what is obviously going to earn hate. This movie seems confusing and according to other views, people don't really understand what is clearly put out there. This slasher focuses on a very dark origin for it's killer. The origin is sad and you feel sorry for him, which is a good thing.The lead of this film is not any kid, okay, it's pretty damn obvious the lead is the Killer or if not the cop. The Kids are just the kills that the killer comes back to do.Now when I watched this movie, I was confused at first and thought about turning it off, but please stick with it, as all the confusion fades and you get a crystal clear picture of why everything happens like it does.If you like movies souly for senseless kills, then I suggest you go find some other (horrible) horror film then. This is a film you have to think to understand, and a movie that doesn't make you think isn't worth anything.

If there is one improvement I want from IMDb, it's the rating system. Instead of a 1 for the lowest, least-likable film, I think IMDb should have 0 as the lowest. Because there are just too many films nowadays that don't deserve even 1 star. This film is one good example.The film is flimsy, the acting is fake and unbelievable, and it's definitely not something you would want to waste your free time watching.The school kids got killed systematically by a wretched butcher who goes around knocking (mind you, the killer's pretty polite) and then stabs you to death. We've got so much to fear nowadays, what's with the global warming and all, and having a fear of checking out who knocks on your door just seems ridiculous.Verdict : Avoid at all cost .

This was not the cinematic masterwork of the 21st century but not the worst movie of all time. The gore effects were creepy and made me squirm which is very rare. The acting ranged from truly awful to decent and believable. The story was OK, a bit confusing and seemed like some scenes were missing that might have explained some of the deaths better. I guess that the reviewers that say this was the most horrible movie ever are fortunate enough to have missed the many many bad movies I watch regularly. And FYI it is not "aeriola" productions, it's "ariola" which is the director's credited name. Sounds made up to me and there was only one nude scene, albeit a lengthy one, but not wall to wall like many low budget slashers.
