Quartile rating: 5.5/10 · 1 rating
A mother desperate to reconnect with her troubled daughter becomes embroiled in the urban legend of a demonic witch.
Don't Knock Twice is a serviceable but formulaic horror entry that leans heavily on familiar haunted-house and witch mythology tropes. The plot, built around an urban legend and a strained mother-daughter relationship, struggles to distinguish itself from countless similar genre offerings and suffers from predictable beats and a muddled third act. Katee Sackhoff's performance elevates the material somewhat, providing genuine emotional grounding, and the Welsh setting offers some atmospheric cinematography that adds mild dread. However, the jump-scare-heavy approach and derivative mythology keep novelty low, while the ending fails to deliver satisfying resolution, leaving threads unresolved in a way that feels incomplete rather than provocatively ambiguous.
