Perfect cast and a good story
One of my all time favorites.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Based on the description, Someone's Knocking at the Door sounded like a good movie. Unfortunately, it isn't. There are no edge-of-your-seat moments and the ending is a huge letdown. Basically, this movie is nothing more than an anti-drug message wrapped up in a bunch of what-the-@*&#. Sure there is blood and nudity, but the nudity isn't even appealing. The acting is decent but the story is awful. SKATD had so much potential if it had focused on the villains pursuit of the college students. But instead it jumped too soon into the attacks and the whole thing got boring fast. Don't waste your time. If you want an anti-drug message search YouTube for anti-drug PSA produced by MTV during the 1980s.
I'm wondering if I saw a cut version, even though it said it was unrated. Basically, some students take an experimental drug and get visited by some long-dead sadistic serial killers. Or do they? Noah Segan is gorgeous, and that went a long way towards my tolerance of Someone's Knocking at the Door. It's kind of a mess, and sometimes it's pretty boring and annoying but it's short, has some decent moments, and it's fun at times. The acting is serviceable, and the sound work is pretty great in parts - especially when they unknowingly mimicked one of my cell phone alert sounds (yeah, I jumped. :)) I also found the soundtrack to be very enjoyable. SKATD is not for everyone's taste, but also not the "extreme" movie I'd been led to believe it was.
If you've watched Someone's Knocking at the Door then you know the visceral violence and suspense Chad Ferrin and co. put into the film. It has been controversial. My take is that Mr. Ferrin won't compromise on his vision, and that's a good thing. You sit down to watch the movie, expecting to be entertained, and if you're used to watching horror movies, you're expecting to only be mildly affected. Mr. Ferrin doesn't let you get away with that. He lets you sit down and push play while he's smiling, but then he grabs you by the collar and drags you through exactly what he wants you to see and feel and you have absolutely no choice but to just deal with it. Brilliant! You can argue about this or that and analyze small nuances if you want, but in my book the film overwhelms you with gripping terror and doesn't let go and that makes the film work. The plot is unique, the characters interesting, and the pacing is great.Part of what I like is what you don't see. In an independent horror film you expect to hear lousy muffled audio, bad colouring, contrast, white-balance, too low or too high lighting, or any one of a number of bad technical issues with the film itself, not to mention bad editing and bad camera work in general. You won't find that here. SKATD looks and sounds like an "A" budget movie. I only had one small complaint in one scene that the background music was too loud for the character to be heard properly. That's it - one small technical issue. Mr. Ferrin has such a distinguished career already that by this production he has "movie making" down.SKATD really made me think, really made me feel, and really made me want to turn the f*cking lights on. That's what a good horror movie is supposed to do.Cheers!
I don't want to give too much of the plot away, just the reaction I had after watching "Someone's Knocking at the Door"...I was totally blown away! You'll either love or hate this type of film, there's not really a middle ground. In my opinion Chad Ferrin was bang on the money! This film is awesome.A brilliant pace, fantastic blend of grindhouse cinema, comedy, spaced out weirdness and pure brutal horror. It's not easy viewing at times, but there are so many horrors out there that give viewers an easy ride nowadays. Why not try something a little testing? This is shocking, brutal, exciting and a thrill to watch. Can't recommend this one enough!!
