Knock Knock

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)

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...

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

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.

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.
