Knock Knock - Der Tod lauert vor deiner Haustür

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 .

In Glass County, several teenagers from high-school are slaughtered and their severed bodies are found in the working place of their fathers. The retired detective Mike (Antonio Mastrantonio), who is the absent grandfather that is trying to approach to his granddaughter Nikki Reynolds (Joli Julianna), teams up with the inexperienced Detective Billie Vega (Kim Taggart) to help her in her investigation, where the slow janitor Troy (Sal Sirchia) is the prime suspect.

The lame "Knock Knock" is a terrible movie: the story and the screenplay are ridiculously bad; the unconvincing acting is awful; the camera work is dreadful. The only thing that works is the cover of the DVD that induced me to buy it. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Wearing it's Italian-American heart on it's blood-soaked sleeve, this derivative horror film has a group of unlikable, stupid jocks and their girlfriends getting killed by a masked killer while a retired police detective pairs up with a female one to try to find out who the murderer is. Lamely acted and uninteresting, uninvolving plot line makes this play out like countless other 'teen slashers' of the '90's/2000's. Not a totally worthless film, merely a ho-hum bad one that no one give two damns about as they likely have seen some variation of it before (and better). Sal Sirchia as Troy, a mentally challenged janitor, is absolutely horrible in his role in this film (everyone else in the movie are FAR from master thespians themselves, but he stood out as the worst)

Eye Candy: Misty Meeler gets topless in the obligatory shower scene

My Grade: D

I am a true movie buff and usually am one that really seems to love movies others hate. I could find something good in them but this one ... not so much. It had a decent story line and could've been a really good movie if they had written it a little different and OMG the acting was horrible! I kid you NOT overdone, ridiculous reactions and facial expressions let alone the lines. I wouldn't let them put this on my resume as an actor. Most of the time I would read a review like this and say, okay gotta watch to see if it's that bad, don't waste what precious little time you have left on this earth with this movie. Unless you like to laugh at bad acting. I was really disappointed. It was so bad you couldn't even make fun of it. I cannot stress enough how bad the acting was.

My fault, I read the reviews and was curious about the 9 star review. How, on any planet in the known and and unknown universe could anyone rank it amongst the slasher classics????? Acting beyond horrible. Over acted, under acted, rarely acted. What were they thinking of during the "slasher" scenes? Was the filming style supposed to strike fear, be artsy? All I know is that it left me speechless in a very bad way. Couldn't finish it.
