Purely Joyful Movie!

Let's be realistic.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Never heard this flick before, and found later that this is not Hollywood's. The demon is scarier than James wan's old hag, and had few jumpscare moment. The acting was nicely done for both (mother and daughter). But don't get too excited, don't knock twice has big issue, atleast for me who always has interest in horror flicks. The plot, yes the plot wasn't something new. It was same pattern which overused and been around for a while. It's hard for me to focusing my self to the movie, because the plot bores me a lot.

I was blown away by the excellent acting on behalf of the two main characters in this film. The mansion put in a solid performance, and its sidekick, 'dilapidated old house' made a valiant effort. Towards the end, surprise cameos by a couple of old studio-trees had me rooted to the chair. Unfortunately, the human scenery needed some work and I think the film-makers relied far too heavily on these props to the loss of the film.

Surprised to see some people actually liked it. If you have seen plenty of horrors, then this is nothing special. Just an average flick. The only plus point was, it was from Britain. If it was made in Hollywood, I would have bashed it from all the angles. Because there's no excuse like it was based on some book. So when someone writes, for a film, we expect something fresh, not refresh or repetition.It was a common platform. That's about a local legend. When a teen couple set to test one of the stories they have heard, it puts them in an extreme position. Later the girl joins her mother who had just returned to the town to win her back. Now they both try to escape from the supernatural threat. How much they succeed and the rest of the tale follows with a twist before the end.The same initiation, build up and conclusion as any horror film. Watchable film, but not any good. They even hinted about a sequel during the end, which I think never should go ahead, after seeing how ordinary this film was. Horror is the least average rated genre from collection and this is no surprise to join those low rating club. I don't know, that you might decently like it or maybe not, but I'm not suggesting or say ignore it.4/10

Chloe (Lucy Boynton) lives in an orphanage. Her mother Jess (Katee Sackhoff) is now dried out and sober and wants her back after nine years. Teen Chloe resists. There is an abandoned house where Ginger (Ania Marson/Javier Botet) lived and it is rumored she took Michael. The story goes if you "knock once, raise her from her bed, knock twice raise her from the dead." Chloe and Danny (Jordan Bolger) both knock twice. Danny disappears and suddenly life with mom doesn't look so bad.This is another version of "wake the witch/Bloody Mary" done better than most, which isn't saying much. The story had good jump scares and a twisty ending. It also had some scenes that dragged and I didn't find Katee Sackhoff convincing in her role, with Lucy Boyton only slightly better. It needed better dialogue.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
