Worth the Watch?:  I Don't Think So

Someone's Knocking At The Door follows five med school students whose friend is raped to death in his dorm room.  Shocked at the events (damn, right! Jeez!!), the friends attend the funeral, where the victim's mother accuses them of turning her angel son into a drugged out demon.  A slapping session starts, and the cops show and haul the friends in for questioning (and a story finally begins to unfold).  Come to find out, the friends had been experimenting with a drug called Taldon some nights before, and, apparently, the raped friend had become heavily addicted to it.  But, that's not all folks!  While experimenting with the drug, the friends uncovered a series of hypnosis sessions with John and Wilma Hopper, two crazed serial killers from the 1970's that went around raping all of their victims to death.  With the drug flowing through new blood, the killers can now continue their raping rampage 30 yrs in the future... I think.  Or Taldon summons the spirit of the Hoppers and allows them to possess the bodies of their new victims, thus leading them to commit rape-murder.... I think.  Or... hell, I don't know.

I really want to say that I hated this movie, but I'd be lying if I did.  I like exploitation flicks because, occasionally, you see gore and gratuity done right.  It's not pretty, but that's sort of the point.  Unfortunately, Someone's not THAT kind of exploitation, but it tries.  It's comedic with some gore sequences (that seem FX'ed with ketchup and tomato juice), a LOT of full frontal male and female nudity (guys - if you do watch this, don't worry - you'll see them.  Them and more...), and rape (not, like, sinister rape, but, you know, the other kind).  All three of the aforementioned occur in the first 15 minutes and the last half hour.  Everything in between concentrates on an effort to create a story that just takes away from what you really watch a movie like this for -  gore, breasts, and cool kills.  You get a little of the first, a few pairs of the second, and only one brief bit of the third, but the movie is still goofy enough that it's kinda fun to watch.  Personally, though, I'd stay away from it.  It's really not worth it.

Quick side note, I kept thinking I'd seen the lead guy, Noah Segan, somewhere, and, finally, I just had to look it up.  He's the malady prone thief in Looper.  Whoa - talk about getting your start somewhere!

So, if you want to watch a slimy 50 year old man rape people with a huge Johnson, then some kids do some drugs and talk to cops, then some strange and non-sequitor sequences that have nudity and gore but no real substance or creativity, Someone's Knocking at Your Door is the flick for you.  Check it out - it's on Netflix!

Still shot; in the film, the make-up is shot around
so much you barely see the nice detail
