Just so...so bad
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreThere's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreI am not a fan of these "found footage" films, they are an atrocity to anyone anywhere. But still, I get to watch them either out of sheer boredom, or because I just have nothing better to watch."Knock Knock 2" unquestionably takes the crown of being the worst movie I have ever had to suffer through. Not only because it is a "lost footage" movie, but also because it had absolutely no interesting storyline, nor did it have any entertainment value. This movie was basically just an hour and a half of following a group of young people around with a video camera while they travel around in Hollywood looking for murder and haunted sites. Yawn!You are well over one hour into the movie before something happens, and even then it is nothing interesting. The people just get trapped inside a house, and for some reason they are unable to open the door or pry down the wood that is nailed up on the windows. It was just so painstakingly stupid.And about an hour and a half of some really bad and questionable camera work was really, really difficult to sit through and not get up and just go do something else. A lot of these "found footage" movies have bad camera work, but again, "Knock Knock 2" manages to surpass the others - and not in a good way.I have seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but "Knock Knock 2" puts all other movies to shame. This is so bad that I can hardly start to describe it. I didn't know about part 1 prior to suffering through this excuse of a movie, and I have no intention of going back and finding part 1 now having seen what this was.
View MoreThis movie is one hour long which is a good thing, because it's one hour of your life you will never get back. It blows! The script sucks, you can't understand what these people are saying half the time, the camera work is downright awful as you stare at the floor a lot of the time, it is constantly shaky and blurry....and if people were supposed to find this camera after whatever happened to the people in the house happened, how come it has some soft music playing in it during one scene. I would actually say this is probably the worst movie I have ever seen in my life! So disappointed as I kept hoping something was going to happen. I still don't understand what happened to these people, did they die? who knows! and why does the guy keep saying "it's in the house"....what's in the house??
View MoreNice try, Lionsgate, but I question the 'genius' move of renaming this movie Knock Knock 2 for a myriad of reasons. It obviously has nothing at all to do with the first one, it's in a completely different sub-genre (the first was a slasher while this is a found footage film) Plus I strongly doubt anyone of the 15 people who had the supreme misfortune of seeing the first Knock Knock would ever want second helpings of that cinematic cesspool anyway.But I digress, this movie regardless of the title is utterly awful. Imagine "Paranormal Activity" made with a lot less money, few fewer scares (knock knock 2 has none whatsoever), worse actors, and a woefully unengaging storyline. Now this film is 5 times worse than whatever you've just thought of. A complete mess beginning to end and a sure sign that I've run out of viable options to rent from Redbox.My Grade: F
View MoreI saw this movie listed under new releases today(08/06/2012) on the PS3 network along with 5-6 other new horror films. I watched the trailers for all of them and found "Knock Knock 2" to be the best of the bunch. The trailer had a nice creepy feeling to it, classic voice-over to sell the movie, and it was from Lion's Gate films. So I rented it and start to watch and found myself right away enjoying the chemistry between Jordan and Aiden. I also enjoyed Beckett and Steph but I found myself vested in Jordan & Aiden's story. This movie could have been good but it was flat out boring. After our crew head out to visit various Hollywood murder sights the film hits a brickwall. We spend roughly the next 45 minutes riding around in a car and looking at houses. 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. When we finally reach the '1666' house, we get a lil sliver of hope. In a nice bit of gender role reversal the ladies want to go in but the guys don't. Once inside the house we return to the snail's pace of the first hour(of one hour and twenty-four minutes). Our characters freak out, try to escape the house, fight amongst themselves, one disappears, and repeat the formula. 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. Only it turns out the two minute trailer showed 10% of their time in the house. Breakdown: Acting: 6/10 Direction: 2/10 Story: 0/10 Scares: -1/10
