2/5

Although replete with creepy shocks, this lacks the narrative finesse to match the committed performances and slick visuals.

2.5/4

The actual horror and thriller aspects just don't gel together with any of the other elements, making James' latest genre effort a movie I respect multiple elements of even if I can't say I enjoyed near as much as I can't help but wish I did.

If it had skipped the clichd supernatural elements to instead concentrate on the relationship between the two central characters, Don't Knock Twice might have emerged as an interesting film.

3/5

Doesn't know whether it would rather be a B-movie full of fantastic scares or a dramatic thriller whose frightening scenes mirrored the tension the characters were experiencing.

Don't Knock Twice has a promising premise, but it fails to deliver the scares or draw in the viewer.

3/5

he film turns out to a bit run of the mill for fans of the genre but should interest fans of Katee Sackhoff and the more casual genre viewers. It's entertaining enough and is an easy watch.

A below average supernatural horror story. The trick with making an effect horror movie is to have characters who appear real that viewers can care what happens to. There is absolutely none of that in this one. I'm a Sackhoff fan, but her character is brooding and unsympathetic (and possibly crazy), her daughter is a straight up bitch, and the demon is underwhelming. Skip it.

Don't knock twice gives a few interesting characters with good backgrounds and memorable personalities but some lack luster acting in a few scenes.While the music brings an eerie and anxious tone to each scene , each scene does not really deliver on it's own creepiness. An average horror movie.If you are bored and got nothing else to watch, might as well watch this but get too excited for a good ending.

Could barely make it 40 minutes. Every single cheesy horror trope in the book is proudly on display here. The main character is so incredibly unlikeable and such a disrespectful little brat to her mother that I was genuinely hoping she would die. The main enemy is your typical witch. No scare was original. Story really was second to none in terms of how much I didnï¿ 1/2(TM)t care. Just avoid at all costs.

Yes this film reminded me of so many other films, The Witch, Insidious, boogeyman, etc etc , and yes it was very much like a midday movie. And at times predictable and a little frustrating to watch . But i still enjoyed this movie. A litlle tale that was easy to watch and enjoyable. The casting of mother & daughter was perfect in this film . At the end of a busy day or on a lazy sunday this movie will be perfect to watch.

I had to watch the trailer to remember anything from this movie. Jogged my memory into remembering how forgetful these characters are.
