Reviews

A bit boring and never

"A bit boring and never got my attention! Good casts though!"

— Martin S. (2/5)

A Tense and Atmospheric Psychological Thriller

"Knocking is an effective psychological thriller that creates tension through uncertainty rather than traditional scares. The story keeps you questioning what is real, drawing you into the main character’s growing sense of isolation and anxiety. It’s a slow burn, but the suspense builds steadily and pays off. The film shows remarkable control in its direction, relying on subtle performances, sound design, and carefully paced storytelling to maintain a constant feeling of unease. Instead of relying on shock value, it lets the atmosphere do the heavy lifting. The overall presentation is excellent. The transfer is sharp and film-like, with strong contrast and natural colors that complement the movie’s restrained visual style. The quality of the release reflects the care put into bringing this underseen thriller to home video. Overall, this is a thoughtful and unsettling psychological thriller that rewards patient viewers with a gripping, atmospheric experience. If you have another title, I’ll also let you know if we’ve already reviewed it before writing a new one."

— Tim L. (5/5)

Knocking

"A slow burn film, but well done."

— Ryan F. (4/5)

Really Cool Slipcover & Movie!

"The unique slipcover was the first thing that led me to order this really cool thriller! It was an engaging watch throughout! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

— Paul K. (5/5)

Anxiety

"Anxiety builds from the get-go, we can't rely on the narrator because she can't rely on herself. We can't rely on visual clues because a judicious and effective use of the camera casts a pall of suspicion on every image. We get a sense of what Molly perceives, and the way she perceives it - the slide to delusion seems closer. It's a burner."

— Oleh S. (4/5)

Fantastic slip cover. Booklet and

"Fantastic slip cover. Booklet and nice supplements, including Short films."

— Dominik W. (5/5)

Knock Knock

"She's not there."

— Andrew N. (5/5)

A new angle on gaslighting

"When a woman in recovery from a traumatic loss and subsequent mental breakdown begins hearing strange sounds in one of the apartments above, we think we know where this is going. Happily enough, Knocking makes interesting and unusual use of the unreliable narrator trope. Yellow Veil gives us a reliably loving Blu-ray package, from the excellent transfer to the essay/booklet and extras."

— Shawn P. (4/5)

There ARE worse places to get a passport in?!

"The camera work here infuses us with paranoia and wrenching stress. Lead is so good, really felt the grief and distress they were enduring every step of the way. The movie intro you can choose whether to play or not offered some cool insights you should check out."

— Derek T. (4/5)

An Interesting Film With A Simple Premise

"My wife and I found Knocking to be interesting and entertaining, considering that the overall concept is quite simple. The story was good."

— Richard W. (3/5)
