Well, first of all I have to say that I made it roughly three-quarters through the movie, then I gave up out of boredom.Having said that, let's get down to business. OK, this movie was driven by a very weak storyline, revolving around people's usage of some weird drug. A drug that apparently caused deadly hallucinations, or were they actually hallucinations? (insert your own scary music here!) ... No! No! No! It just didn't work. The storyline was boring and uneventful, and failed to captivate.What worked in the movie was the overall weirdness that was in almost every single frame. From the way the movie was shot and cut together, to the quirky characters and situations. A lot of them were quite far out there, and bordering on being too much. But oddly enough, in a strange way, it worked well enough for the movie.Some of the cast actually managed to pull off adequate performances, though there were some where you just sat there and stared blankly at the screen, wondering how that person ever made it past screening.The movie went on at a very slow pace, with very little happening along the way. Sure, it tried to build up some suspense, but there were no climaxes along the way. You just sat there with a hope for something to happen, but were left with a flaccid sense of deprivation. The movie was just too boring and uneventful for me, and I had to give up on it. And I know that I will not be returning to it at a later time to try to finish it or to give it a second chance. My life is simply too short for these types of movies. I gave it a shot, and it didn't impress me.Oh, and before I forget, there were a couple of brutal scenes in the movie, that might actually be offensive to some people, so be warned about that.

I have to preface this by saying I like Noah Segan. like him a lot. but even he couldn't save this from being the hot mess it was. there are some solid ideas behind this, but it has been done better before. the idea that this is a drug induced, on coming death hallucination is a tired twist. nothing new was added to the genre and it was not a really enjoyable trip. some of the visuals were really interesting, the sound design was excellent, and the acting wasn't terrible, but nothing seemed to gel the piece into a cohesive whole. I did watch the entire movie and didn't feel like I had completely wasted my time, but it just didn't have any holding power. which is a shame.

It is as if "Friends" meets "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with a lot of drugs mixed in. One of the best indie movies I have ever seen. This movie is NOT for the weak, and if you can survive the first 5 minutes of pure gore, then this movie is for you. One by one these kids experience a terror no on in their right mind could handle. By the end of the movie I was left with my jaw on the floor trying to comprehend if what I just saw was real. The director throws the audience a curve-ball with the ending that is completely mind-f**king.If you can get your hands on this movie, this is one that all your friends need to see.

Captivating from the first knock. It's difficult to not be both stimulated and mortified by the raw terror that stalks a group of med students in "Someone's Knocking At The Door." This 70s style horror film creatively takes you through a disturbing drug-induced ordeal that masterfully interlaces sexually charged suspense with a little comedy. Unlike many of today's horror films, this movie features an excellent soundtrack that plays with your emotions. Several scenes still stick with me weeks after watching. This is a refreshingly original film with an ending that will both surprise you and leave you wanting to watch it again.
