Knock Knock

About This Movie

So, 'Knock Knock' (2023) is an interesting little piece. The director remains a mystery, which adds a layer of intrigue, I suppose. The film dives deep into themes of grief and loneliness, exploring how those feelings can manifest in unexpected ways. Quinn, the lead, is really grounded, and you can feel her struggle. The pacing has this slow burn quality that kind of matches Quinn's emotional state, which I thought was effective. The atmosphere is heavy with dread, thanks to some solid practical effects, especially in those moments when the 'monster' becomes a presence. It’s not your usual horror fare, more like psychological drama with a twist. Gives you something to think about long after the credits roll.
