Someone's Knocking at the Door (2009)
gritty indie flick that is fully engaging
I felt compelled to write a review on this film after reading mixed reviews and noticing the poor rating here on IMDb.
If you were disappointed after seeing this, then I'm not exactly sure what you want from a film. The story was well written, the core group of actors were all totally believable, and I think the film makers used some simple effects to create an overall surrealistic feel. I really liked what the soundtrack added, and after about 10 minutes into it, I was completely hooked. The way it was shot was gritty and typical of low budget productions, but I think the look works effectively with the feel of the story.
If you are tired of overly grotesque, slow paced, and generally mindless horror/thrillers then I recommend this movie because it was largely original, and keeps you thinking during the process. This film does a great job of using creative situations that you wouldn't see in a mainstream film, while resisting the temptation to become exceedingly bizarre. I thoroughly enjoyed the experiencing this film.
