Knock Knock

If I could rate this movie as a zero I would - but the lowest rating is a 1.

This movie looks as if some high school kids broke into their AV department, stole some equipment and decided to make a movie.

The DVD boxes these movies are getting displayed with are so much better. I used to look at DVD cases to see if it looked like a cheesy B-movie flick -

this one didn't look like a bad one - I was wrong- it was pretty bad.

If you are willing to waste an hour and a half of your life, do it watching paint dry instead of this.

I just love the name of the production company though - Aeriola productions!

Everywhere I seen a review of this movie it was always the same, this is bad. So I was ready to view it, only one problem, not available over here but fortunately a good friend offered me a full uncut version. Only 1 minute into the movie I already knew something was terrible wrong. The first girl murdered was dressed sexy. Not that I have a problem with that but mostly that attracts more then the gore. Anyway, the good part of the movie is indeed the gore. It's not all in front of the camera but they really show the result. It's gory but easy to take. But there is of course the movie itself. The acting of some is really bad. For example the interrogation is a big laugh, she never impresses me as a copper. And the killer is a cheap version of Leatherface, his clothes, mask and hair is a copy! Furtheron they also listened what they did with Evil Dead and Nightmare on Elm Street, I mean the children singing chants. Some scene's are too long, could have edited it better. And some scene's had nothing to do with the movie, for example when one of the guys goes home with his girlfriend her sister opens the door, what we have next is nice to see but has nothing to do with the script, and a lot of girls show their body, clothed, in an explicit way. I told before, I have no problem with that if that doesn't let you forget the storyline. I gave it a 3 just for the gore, could have been much better...

OK I'm awarding this a 4..... And that is purely because 2 scenes in the entire film were well done, turned up the gore and feeling of real gut wrenching revulsion and just about saved the film from a Zero.

So, the plot goes something like this.

Teen kids, Murderer systematically butchers them in interesting ways, police detectives follow the trail to its conclusion....

with me so far?

OK so the plot is flimsy but many horror films have fared on less and done an admirable job of telling a bad story well through good acting and well directed horror scenes. The acting in this is SHOCKING! The "beautiful detective" is just horrible, the drunken retired cop (oh dear god....... another one) is bearable at best, and you are begging for most of the kids to be slaughtered just to end the pain of having to watch them.

Kinda harsh seeing as I love trashy B rate horrors, but this really scrapes the bucket...... watch at your peril!

the tag line is "Answering the door will never be the same again!" and they are right. I will have to think of this film any time someone knocks!

I can't believed I wasted an hour and half of my life on this. I've seen better writing and acting in a porno. This movie took a generic concept and slaughtered it with no originality. This movie make bad b movies look like tens. The movie is about some teenagers that pick on a poor retarded kid when an accident happens and someone supposedly dies. Then years later a mysterious figure comes back and starts hacking people up. The mystery unravels worse than in Scooby Doo(which I 'm a big fan).

In the end you wondered why you wasted your money on this much more you time. I hope we never see a Knock Knock 2 or a remake

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)
