Knock Knock (2007) Reviews

• I can't believe I wasted 99 cents on this movie!!!!

  There are no words to adequately describe HOW BAD this movie is. Normally these slasher movies bother me and I have to hide my eyes during the killing scenes but this just alternated between making me laugh and making me cringe...and not in a good way. I have never met a cop who wears high heels, tight skirts and a see through blouse to interrogate suspects. And please don't get me started on the bad porn music that played while kids are being 'butchered.' It's an insult to porn movies everywhere. The acting was TERRIBLE, the lines were corny and trite and delivered with about as much enthusiasm as a visit to the dentist for root canal. Some of the finer acting moments include fake screams by the parents (the butcher and the dentist being the WORST, which might explain why those two scenes were combined), the lack of the kids reactions to finding out their friend was killed (He's dead, lets eat), the fake country accents of the sheriff and Troy's mom (They've got the bad Southern one and the rest have mild to heavy New York ones which make no sense) and lets not forget the beautiful scene where Cindy has been field dressed and the camera cuts to a close up and you can clearly see her opening her eye as if to say, "Is the scene over yet? Oops, it's not. My bad." While watching the credits, it appeared to be a family affair as every other person had Ariola as a last name but I wonder if some of the people were using code names so as not to be associated in any way, shape or form with this movie...because it was THAT BAD! I mean, Mike Driver as the on-set driver? Coincidence? I think not. I read the reviews where people said that it was a hour and half of their life wasted, I entirely agree. I can only hope that the producers were able to claim this as a loss on their taxes.

• Just seen this.. not impressed

  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!

• Wow - really, really bad.

  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!

• So bad you can't even laugh at it.

  I am a true movie buff and usually am one that really seems to love movies others hate. I could find something good in them but this one ... not so much. It had a decent story line and could've been a really good movie if they had written it a little different and OMG the acting was horrible! I kid you NOT overdone, ridiculous reactions and facial expressions let alone the lines. I wouldn't let them put this on my resume as an actor. Most of the time I would read a review like this and say, okay gotta watch to see if it's that bad, don't waste what precious little time you have left on this earth with this movie. Unless you like to laugh at bad acting. I was really disappointed. It was so bad you couldn't even make fun of it. I cannot stress enough how bad the acting was.

• Terrible Movie

  claudio_carvalho2009-10-18

  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. Title (Brazil): Not Available
