Door Knobs

About This Movie

So, 'Door Knobs' is one of those films that really leans into its bizarre premise. It has a darkly comedic tone with a slightly unsettling atmosphere that leaves you wondering what you just watched. The pacing is a bit erratic, with moments that drag and others that hit you fast. The performances are surprisingly earnest, which adds to the absurdity of the whole thing. It explores themes of desire and consent in a really unconventional way, which makes it distinctive, I think. And those practical effects? They’re low-budget but have a certain charm that just sticks with you, even if the overall execution is a bit rough around the edges.

This title has had a limited release history, often slipping under the radar of mainstream collectors. It's not easy to find in good condition, which adds to its allure. There’s a niche interest among collectors who appreciate its raw take on taboo subjects and the unique, albeit questionable, approach to storytelling. Keep an eye out for it; it tends to pop up at smaller conventions or through specialty online retailers.
