Don't Knock Twice: Further evidence that Hollywood can't do horror anymore
17 October 2017
I wanted to like this I really did. I watched the trailer and thought to myself that this had potential, this is the one that will turn the tide.

Alas I was wrong.

Starring Battlestar Galactica's own Katee Sackhoff this highly clichéd standard Hollywood formula horror takes an interesting concept and neuters it.

It granted does get under your skin a bit and isn't scare free but as for originality, as for competence, as for entertainment not so much.

It tells the tale of an urban legend where if you knock twice on the door of an abandoned house then the witch who once resided within will come after you.

What comes next is a blend of several movies including Lights Out (2016) but it just fails to bring anything new to the table.

Again I wanted to like this but simply couldn't, I've seen it all before and done considerably better.

The Good:

Neat concept

Creepy in places

The Bad:

Failed vision

Whole thing feels stale
