Watch Don't Knock Twice For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Let's be realistic.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Trying to reconcile with her daughter, a mother finds that she's being haunted by a vengeful witch that the friends have accidentally unleashed playing a supposedly harmless prank and forces her to race to stop the deadly being from threatening her and her family.This one here wasn't as bad as it could've been. One of the main selling points for this one is the fact that it manages to exploit a rather common trope in the genre pretty effectively. Even though the myth about the titular with isn't all that original, the fact that it manages to tie into it pretty effectively with some chilling moments is really fun and brings about some effective scenes. The initial opening attack in the apartment with the witch appearing in the hallway before featuring the attack in the room itself leads to a fine sequence shown through the monitor, followed up immediately with the stellar ambush in the kitchen which is exceptionally eerie alongside the fine sequences showing the adjustment of their living situation where her tools are getting damaged despite her proclamations of innocence all have a nice vibe to them. Basing these type of encounters along the lines of being unsure of how truthful she's being based on their strained relationship adds a nice tone to their plight as that leads into the more intense moments at the end where they come face-to-face with the creature. Given that this leads to the final battle at the witch's lair that gives this some solid moments. While there's plenty to like with these features, it does have some minor problems overall as well. The main issue with this one is the ludicrous notion of not believing the daughter's stories simply so that they can come together in the end to battle the witch. Some of the events in question here, from the early warnings of how they played around with the legend, the models' freakout around her to the destroyed art studio they come to where a bloodied warning message is left behind, it all seems a little unreasonable that they don't detect anything is going on around her as long as they do since this doesn't make them seem like good people that come around at the end. Instead, it just simply paints them as foolish for not recognizing anything out of the ordinary and as unnecessary fodder for the reconciliation to be had. The other issue here is the overtly useless subplot introduced here about the tormented history of the main witch as it's cliched, easy and doesn't inspire any addition fear into the creature than what would already have been the case being a typical witch on a rampage. It really tends to demystify the creature with this prototypical setup, and overall these here really are what hold it back.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Here are a lot of review that nothing is new in the movie.But why you watch a horror movie ? TO GET SCARED, which this movie successfully did.Don't Knock Twice gives you chills throughout the film. The movie is FULL OF JUMPSCARES. Story is decent. You will not get bored. Actors are all superb specially Katee Sackoff. The special effects are good. Direction is very good. Everything is good.Don't go with the other review. WATCH THE FILM and DECIDE YOURSELF whether it was good enough to scare you.The movie is a lot more scary than many mainstream horror movies. 10 out of 10 from me. :)

Surprised to see some people actually liked it. If you have seen plenty of horrors, then this is nothing special. Just an average flick. The only plus point was, it was from Britain. If it was made in Hollywood, I would have bashed it from all the angles. Because there's no excuse like it was based on some book. So when someone writes, for a film, we expect something fresh, not refresh or repetition.It was a common platform. That's about a local legend. When a teen couple set to test one of the stories they have heard, it puts them in an extreme position. Later the girl joins her mother who had just returned to the town to win her back. Now they both try to escape from the supernatural threat. How much they succeed and the rest of the tale follows with a twist before the end.The same initiation, build up and conclusion as any horror film. Watchable film, but not any good. They even hinted about a sequel during the end, which I think never should go ahead, after seeing how ordinary this film was. Horror is the least average rated genre from collection and this is no surprise to join those low rating club. I don't know, that you might decently like it or maybe not, but I'm not suggesting or say ignore it.4/10

What a load of rubbish.The horror genre is riddled with bad movies, and is an arena most fresh film directors like to enter, as it is fairly straightforward and doesn't require the same skills a serious drama does. The problem is: to make a really good horror, you do need a lot of skills. Whoever made this had no idea what they were doing. The script is lazy and predictable, with one overused cliché after another. It's so tedious and frustrating. And then there's this ridiculous premise with an interracial couple... Guess what race the girl is? No surprise there.This film is absolute bottom.
