John Wick has a run-in with herpes. Um, I mean, harpies! Or … well, probably both. In Episode 040 of Horror Movie Weekly, your three late-night Horror hosts, Jay of the Dead, BillChete, and Lady Phantom bring you a rousing review of an arousing film called Knock Knock (2015)! Be sure to watch this one with grandma! During this review Phantom discusses how this film’s Horror threat isn’t intended to harm the victim physically. Instead, the malicious intent is to altogether destroy his life and his happiness. BillChete provides an excellent insight about how the hallway depicted in the house amounts to a character with its own arc. Fascinating! Join us!
Note: This episode contains mild spoilers for Eli Roth’s “Knock Knock” (2015). It was recorded on May 10, 2020, and it was released on May 31, 2020.
