Someone's Knocking at the Door (2010)

- written October 15th, 2010

Summary: In this genre-defying grind-house throwback, a group of drug-addled, sexually deviant medical students are systematically terrorized by Wilma and John Hopper. The Hoppers, serial murderers and rapists, mysteriously return from the 1970s, and bring horrifying psychedelia with them. With comedy, subversion, satire and true gore, the students must face escalating attacks, shocking circumstances and visceral disgust.           Overall: The film tries to be disturbing and gore and scary and surreal…but it really ends up a little too uninteresting for me. Sure, the rape scenes are disturbing and disgusting, especially since for the most part no sex scenes occur without one of the parties being abnormally enhanced in some way. And that sorta loses the scariness, suspense of it. I think it gets to the “what the hell were u thinking” mode. It’s more concerning once you see the ending what everyone was even trying to accomplish with the film. I came out of the film thinking…”and your point was…?”           Comparison: Natural Born Killers meets Ferozz
