This here was one of the worst genre examples in this class and really has very little redeeming value. Most of this is based on the fact that there's just nothing happening in this one. The idea behind the film is quite cool and unique, but the fact that there's just endless, endless scenes of the group wandering around the house with the first-person perspective, based on the fact that this is a found-footage film, means that what little there is to actually be entertained by is so hard to make-out and realize what it is that it just becomes all the more confusing and disorienting about what's happening, rendering the effect completely moot and disastrous. Even still, the fact that nothing happens here is the biggest obstacle that really can't redeem the film because it can't offer up any real scares or potentially chilling moments based on the fact that the whole film is centered around the fact that it can't offer up any scares or thrills to overcome the limitations of the genre which results in keeping the camera pointed away from whatever is supposed to terrify us only to turn back and see nothing, shaking camera shots that are so blurry you can't tell what's going on, countless times where the safety of their well-being is forsaken for getting the camera to record it all and just so much blandness about what's going on with them that this becomes a chore to sit through and a boring effort once it gets going. The one thing that does work somewhat well here is the fact that the central premise for their trip is quite ingenious and really should be used in other efforts since there's some potential for some really chilling moments in a story like this should it get in a film that really deserves it, but by doing nothing with it as it is really just underscores how futile and wasted this one is.
Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and pictures of female nudity.
Don't waste your time or your money on this one. The trailer looks promising. In fact, your better off watching the trailer for free because that's better than the movie.
"Knock Knock 2" unquestionably takes the crown of being the worst movie I have ever had to suffer through. Not only because it is a "lost footage" movie, but also because it had absolutely no interesting storyline, nor did it have any entertainment value. This movie was basically just an hour and a half of following a group of young people around with a video camera while they travel around in Hollywood looking for murder and haunted sites. Yawn!
You are well over one hour into the movie before something happens, and even then it is nothing interesting. The people just get trapped inside a house, and for some reason they are unable to open the door or pry down the wood that is nailed up on the windows. It was just so painstakingly stupid.
And about an hour and a half of some really bad and questionable camera work was really, really difficult to sit through and not get up and just go do something else. A lot of these "found footage" movies have bad camera work, but again, "Knock Knock 2" manages to surpass the others - and not in a good way.
I have seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but "Knock Knock 2" puts all other movies to shame. This is so bad that I can hardly start to describe it. I didn't know about part 1 prior to suffering through this excuse of a movie, and I have no intention of going back and finding part 1 now having seen what this was.
But I digress, this movie regardless of the title is utterly awful. Imagine "Paranormal Activity" made with a lot less money, few fewer scares (knock knock 2 has none whatsoever), worse actors, and a woefully unengaging storyline. Now this film is 5 times worse than whatever you've just thought of. A complete mess beginning to end and a sure sign that I've run out of viable options to rent from Redbox.
