Who was there? An incredibly generic serial killer, accompanied by a terrible script and performances that ranged from lackluster to terrible. A group of teens whom we saw for maybe five minutes at the beginning of the film (that, for the most part, don't show up again until their death sequence) are being killed off in a manner relating to their fathers' occupations. However, the big question isn't why this is happening, but do we as viewers even care given how little screen time the victims are given? The plot largely centers on one of the character's grandfather and a lady cop, although the token mentally disabled man-child gets an absurd amount of screen-time as well (whether or not he actually had contact with the killer is never established, yet he somehow knows the method people will be killed in).The story is largely incomprehensible. Due to extreme, unbuffered scene skips sometimes it's night, sometimes it's day, then it's night again all within mere minutes of film time. The fact that the film doesn't even attempt to establish something as basic as time is just one more example of the sloppy direction and script. Of course, the real kicker is when the killer's identity and motive is established there's something of a clear disparity between the killer's actions and the motive. How is this resolved? By a character claiming, "It makes sense", then choosing to not to elaborate on the batcrap logic of the bizarro world where it actually would make sense (as the motive has only the most tenuous of connections to the method, while not explaining at all why the kids are being targeted). Not to mention that the killer's apparent modus operandi, which involved only targeting a certain group of kids for a specific reason (and even letting somebody run off earlier for that reason), is abandoned at the end when he attacks a handful of non-involved personalities.However, films of this sort can occasionally overcome such flaws through the ability of its actors, a sense of humor, or some unique story element. Sadly, none of those was present. Although some character performances were at least tolerable for the most part (including "gramps" Ernest Mingione, who actually was pretty solid at times), the majority was strictly worse than other b-list productions. In particular, Kim Taggart (playing Detective Billie Vega) doesn't even seem to understand the concept of acting and often looks like she's reading the script right off a prompter. This sin might be forgivable if not for the fact she prominently features in most scenes, as a constant reminder of the film's numerous shortcomings. However, one of the more baffling decisions was for the granddaughter to keep a current photo of her grandpa in her room (which the camera seems to deliberately take note). Why a girl who wants no contact with her grandfather, going to the point of not even wanting to see the man, would keep a photo of him close to her (rather than say, one of her parents...) is yet another sloppy film-making mystery (presumably due to poor edits that removed a relevant scene along the way).All in all, I'd be very hard-pressed to name one single element that redeems the movie in some way. When it comes right down to it, Knock, Knock is a joke with no punchline.

I was not really sure what was going on here. It seemed like it was going to be interesting with a real jumping scene at the beginning, but then it just went all over the place.We barely meet one football player before he was stabbed. Why was he chosen? Who was he? He's there one minute and gone the next.Suspicion falls on Troy (Sal Sirchia). Again, we have no idea why. As the movie goes on, it is clear that he is involved in some way, but not as the murderer.Things do get gruesome quickly as the mechanic's daughter (Kat Castaneda) is killed, quickly followed by the janitor's son.Kim Taggart as the lead detective is so over the top it's not even funny. The only cop that even had a clue about doing the job was Antonio Mastrantonio.We are enjoying a nice shower scene featuring Misty Dawn Meeler, but she is unceremoniously butchered. It would have been nice to have Stephanie Finochio in a shower scene.One by one the youth of the town are murdered, and we find out it does back 20 years to their fathers.The ending was just bizarre.

Certainly a horrible movie..Its the worst movie i've seen.Really Bad..If I had an option to vote as zero I would choose it..In the movie there is no horror, no action, shortly nothing..I watched this movie with my friend's advise.Because, he has been watched the movie and he was repentant and he wanted me to be as well as him..So an advise to you, if you don't want to be repentant do not watch.Thus save your time..

If there is one improvement I want from IMDb, it's the rating system. Instead of a 1 for the lowest, least-likable film, I think IMDb should have 0 as the lowest. Because there are just too many films nowadays that don't deserve even 1 star. This film is one good example.The film is flimsy, the acting is fake and unbelievable, and it's definitely not something you would want to waste your free time watching.The school kids got killed systematically by a wretched butcher who goes around knocking (mind you, the killer's pretty polite) and then stabs you to death. We've got so much to fear nowadays, what's with the global warming and all, and having a fear of checking out who knocks on your door just seems ridiculous.Verdict : Avoid at all cost .
