Boring, long, and too preachy.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreNot worth more than a few words to condemn this trash on all points. I would add that if you're going to show naked women, then try to select very attractive women. AVOID this hideous failure. 0/10.
View MoreHoly God this some some flick! Firstly, don't go by the synopsis on IMDb. The story line is way better than that! Plus, I'm pretty good at figuring out where stories go and the ending surprised the heck out of me.I think this director is one to watch. He made a low budget flick that is just superb. It really defies being pigeoned holed into a genre.It's not the typical teen slasher movie in the slightest. It's intelligent and interesting. And not so great actors are turned great by the unique story and writing.If you are expecting a 70s grind house movie as the synopsis suggests, you will be disappointed. This flick doesn't resemble a grindhouse flick at all and that's a good thing.I could not take my eyes off the screen! It's a very unique and different film.Rent it immediately! It's twisted, warped, funny and mesmerising.
View MoreIf you've watched Someone's Knocking at the Door then you know the visceral violence and suspense Chad Ferrin and co. put into the film. It has been controversial. My take is that Mr. Ferrin won't compromise on his vision, and that's a good thing. You sit down to watch the movie, expecting to be entertained, and if you're used to watching horror movies, you're expecting to only be mildly affected. Mr. Ferrin doesn't let you get away with that. He lets you sit down and push play while he's smiling, but then he grabs you by the collar and drags you through exactly what he wants you to see and feel and you have absolutely no choice but to just deal with it. Brilliant! You can argue about this or that and analyze small nuances if you want, but in my book the film overwhelms you with gripping terror and doesn't let go and that makes the film work. The plot is unique, the characters interesting, and the pacing is great.Part of what I like is what you don't see. In an independent horror film you expect to hear lousy muffled audio, bad colouring, contrast, white-balance, too low or too high lighting, or any one of a number of bad technical issues with the film itself, not to mention bad editing and bad camera work in general. You won't find that here. SKATD looks and sounds like an "A" budget movie. I only had one small complaint in one scene that the background music was too loud for the character to be heard properly. That's it - one small technical issue. Mr. Ferrin has such a distinguished career already that by this production he has "movie making" down.SKATD really made me think, really made me feel, and really made me want to turn the f*cking lights on. That's what a good horror movie is supposed to do.Cheers!
View MoreI don't want to give too much of the plot away, just the reaction I had after watching "Someone's Knocking at the Door"...I was totally blown away! You'll either love or hate this type of film, there's not really a middle ground. In my opinion Chad Ferrin was bang on the money! This film is awesome.A brilliant pace, fantastic blend of grindhouse cinema, comedy, spaced out weirdness and pure brutal horror. It's not easy viewing at times, but there are so many horrors out there that give viewers an easy ride nowadays. Why not try something a little testing? This is shocking, brutal, exciting and a thrill to watch. Can't recommend this one enough!!
