Don't Knock Twice (2017)

The Age of Commercialism

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

You know I've seen worse horror movies, but I also have seen way better horror movies too. The cliches are there and even if you may not know everything from the start (a twist or a turn or whatever), overall it is predictable. So shocking would not be an attribute I would attach to the movie (except from some jump scares).Of course this may be the only reason you tuned in, in the first place. So if that's the case enjoy the ride, do not think about logical errors or irrational behaviour and it will be fine.

A few creepy scenes, good twist. A bit blueprinted but a pretty good movie.

Oh man......true horror lovers accept the predictability and cheesiness. One MUST "suspend their disbelief" according to Freudian theory (spelling??) to enjoy.With that being said, this movie is freaky and dark. Definitely had my arm hairs standing straight up! Setting aside the lame interaction with the lady w/a stroller and her guidance nonsense, this story was highly entertaining and scary. Not as scary as Lights Out which I thought was coolest, contemporary scary horror in a while.Most horror enthusiasts will enjoy this and at the very least, be "entertained" by it.

Imagine a plane of existence where all ghost movies made in the past twenty years didn't exist. In such a place, Don't Knock Twice might be heralded as groundbreaking. In this world, however, it's just another ho-hum cookie cutter creep-fest, inspired by the likes of Ringu and The Grudge, featuring a malevolent supernatural entity with long straggly hair. Put simply, we've seen it all before (and done much better).Katee Sackhoff plays troubled artist Jess, whose daughter Chloe (Lucy Boynton) has spent much of her life in care thanks to her mother's drug problems. Now, happily married and drug-free, Jess is at long last attempting to reconnect with her daughter, but finds doing so just a little difficult due to an angry ghost/demon that is hellbent on killing Chloe because she had the temerity to knock on the door of a haunted house.To start with, director Caradog W. James is content to churn out the expected brooding atmospherics and mechanical scares, but when the script delves into the whys and wherefores of the unwanted supernatural occurrences, which revolve around the unsolved disappearance of a young boy, matters become extremely convoluted, culminating in a daft twist ending (clue: never trust an Eastern European).
