![]() The idea behind the film is quite cool and unique, but the fact that there's just endless, endless scenes of the group wandering around the house with the first-person perspective, based on the fact that this is a found-footage film, means that what little there is to actually be entertained by is so hard to make-out and realize what it is that it just becomes all the more confusing and disorienting about what's happening, rendering the effect completely moot and disastrous. Most of this is based on the fact that there's just nothing happening in this one. This here was one of the worst genre examples in this class and really has very little redeeming value. Getting together one evening, a group of friends on a tour of famous Hollywood murder scenes stumbles upon a mysterious house on their trip and find it to be filled with far more dangerous entities then they ever expected. It is a WASTE of time.forget this one and save yourself for another movie worth watching. Of course you really don't see them die or really know what happened to them. So it drags on and on and on with horrific camera work and everyone is scared. Well.they can't get out of the house which is boarded up. OH did I forget to mention one of the guys has a video camera. They get locked inside the house and the camera is still rolling. ![]() They finally end up at a house where a man killed his wife and baby. So they drive around looking at these sights and of course nothing happens. Sights like the murder of the Black Dahlia, Manson, etc. The girlfriends of 2 guys decide to go look at murder sights in LA on Halloween. It is great when the camera is pointed at a wall with no actors for over a minute and only voices in the background. WOW.this is one awful movie! In the style of the "Blair Witch Project".the filming is jumpy and annoying. Only it turns out the two minute trailer showed 10% of their time in the house. The simple truth is I kept watching the 'murder tour' part of the film because the trailer sold me on the characters being trapped in the house. Our characters freak out, try to escape the house, fight amongst themselves, one disappears, and repeat the formula. Once inside the house we return to the snail's pace of the first hour(of one hour and twenty-four minutes). In a nice bit of gender role reversal the ladies want to go in but the guys don't. When we finally reach the '1666' house, we get a lil sliver of hope. The snooze factor kicks in when they begin repeating wiki info on each house that we had already heard at the start of the film. We spend roughly the next 45 minutes riding around in a car and looking at houses. After our crew head out to visit various Hollywood murder sights the film hits a brickwall. This movie could have been good but it was flat out boring. I also enjoyed Beckett and Steph but I found myself vested in Jordan & Aiden's story. So I rented it and start to watch and found myself right away enjoying the chemistry between Jordan and Aiden. The trailer had a nice creepy feeling to it, classic voice-over to sell the movie, and it was from Lion's Gate films. I watched the trailers for all of them and found "Knock Knock 2" to be the best of the bunch. ![]() I saw this movie listed under new releases today() on the PS3 network along with 5-6 other new horror films. PARENTAL GUIDANCE: F-bomb, no sex, no nudity. Writer, director, producer Chris Sheng now owes me an apology and $2.00. They eventually make it to a 1666 house and get locked in where it is deemed that bad acting and filming is a capital offense. Toss in a creepy GPS navigator that takes them to the haunted home, some red dyed Karo syrup, and a shower scene and you got yourself a classic. Now this wouldn't make for too bad of a film in itself if they had more than $20 to spend on a script and special effects. I did scream during the third reading, but not out of fright. Don't worry, if you were napping when they read about the Black Dahlia, they re-read it again and again. ![]() Four young adults, whose acting careers were over before they started, decide to do their own Hollywood haunted tour, visiting famous locations of grizzly murders, suicides, and hauntings. Nothing says cheap like a 911 transcript, hand held cameras, and people screaming in the dark. I am not sure what this film has to do with the first one. Original Title "Knock Knock 2" I was not a fan of the first "Knock Knock" film which littered the Walmart bargain bins until I picked up a copy. ![]()
