I am a horror junky and don't scare that easily anymore, but the entity of the witch really got to me.
Even little gems like this that are ignored by mainstream media can end up being big cult classics and I believe this is a candidate. But that's what makes the horror genre so special. Which is unfortunate since I would have loved to experience this on the big screen. I attribute its absence from cinemas to its lack of a recognizable star. I am surprised this didn't get a nationwide theatrical release as its production value is pretty nice looking compared to nationwide horror craps like Bye Bye Man. Id compare some of the scary moments to "Lights Out" and even one early sighting of the witch to the Nun painting scene in "The Conjuring 2".
KNOCK KNOCK FULL MOVIE MOVIE
The mythos of the movie does get a little over indulgent toward the end, but it still works well, despite a somewhat rushed ending and typical horror movie "bad logic" by some characters. The actor playing the witch entity is the same that played the scary "mama" entity from Mama and the emaciated demon at the end of REC, so you know you're in for some scary imagery with this guy. The entity of the witch is truly horrifying and will have you reaching for a blanket or light switch in all of its on screen moments. Some might call them lazy, but their just nit picky. There are plenty of jump scares that will truly get to you. But the trailer doesn't help its case either. The trailer for this surprisingly doesn't give away even half of the scares so even seeing it beforehand wont ruin any of it. The musical score is an instant horror classic. The directing and cinematography contain some beautiful and terrifying imagery. The acting is above average for the genre and budget. This is better than your average scary movie. Its a typical genre plot, but it is done surprisingly well. That is just the basic plot that sums up the first 5 minutes. The legend states that if you knock on her door twice, she will come and take you to her world. But before happily ever after could happen, Chloe and a friend had gone to a local neighborhood house where urban legend says a vengeful witch resides. But now a more stable and wealthy Jess wants to reconnect with her daughter. From her ex-addict mother Jess for the beginning of her life.
