Hey what’s up guys
Today I’ll show you a supernatural horror film: “Don’t Knock Twice”
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
Jess meets with her estranged daughter Chloe who she hasn’t seen in nine years,
to ask her if she wants to come live with her
Feeling hurt, and abandoned after living without her mother for most of her life,
Chloe strongly denies Jess’ invitation
She tells her mother to stay away, and just leave her alone
Sometime after, Jess is shown working in her studio
She is a sculptor, and is working on a sculpture of a mother and her baby
Her husband enters her studio, and tells her that they have to leave for something soon,
and that she has to get ready quickly
Jess dismisses her model; and they talk for a while
Tira, her model, tells her that she shouldn’t worry too much about her daughter
Tira then puts a necklace on her, claiming that its magic will help her daughter see,
and feel Jess’ love for her
Chloe meets her friend Danny to hang out
The two sit on a bench; while Jess draws on Danny’s cast
They see a couple of kids play a prank on one of the houses down the street,
pressing the doorbell, then running away right after
Danny is reminded of how they used to do the same when they were younger,
and asks Chloe to follow him somewhere
They arrive at an old abandoned house, that is rumored to be haunted
The stories say that because the owner of the house died,
the demon inside the house was trapped and hungry, waiting to prey on anyone,
who would dare knock twice on the door
Chloe gets upset at Danny, because she hates the house,
saying that the house is the reason for her old friend’s disappearance
Despite Chloe’s fears, they both go on to knock twice at the door; but there is no reaction
As they walk away, Chloe looks at the window, and sees an outline of a face;
but when she looks closer, the outline is gone
She then looks around, but doesn’t find Danny
Chloe starts to get nervous; but Danny comes up behind her, and scares her out of her smelly shit
They laugh together, and go home
Alone in his apartment later, Danny suddenly awakens at 3 AM
He starts seeing shadows outside his windows, and on his mirrors
He walks to his door, and looks out the peephole
The lights in the corridor start to go out, one after the other
After a few moments, the lights turn back on;
and a menacing figure is standing alone in the corridor
Suddenly, an eye appears; and Danny is startled
In a panic, Danny walks away, and locks his doors
He tries to turn on the lights; but they won’t open
He looks around, and sees a horrific figure standing in the corner of the room
Finally, he manages to turn on a lamp; and immediately, the figure disappears
Chloe video calls him, but immediately hears someone knocking on the door
When she goes to check the door, Danny is seen lifted in the air, and dragged out of the room
When Chloe returns, Danny is missing, and his room is empty
Out of nowhere, a dark figure appears, startling Chloe
The next day, Chloe calls Danny; but he doesn’t respond
Later that evening, Danny calls him back, and tells her to run for her life
Chloe then receives a picture of her in the room; but there is no one else in the room with her
Suddenly, the fountain turns on, and begins to spew blood
The lights turn off; and the monster begins to emerge from the sink
Chloe rushes to leave the room; but the door is locked
She bangs on the door, and starts shouting for help
After a few moments, someone opens the door for her; and she is able to walk away
Scared and alone, Chloe takes up her mother’s offer to come live with them
During dinner, Chloe finds a human tooth in her soup
She freaks out, and pushes the bowl off the table, breaking it,
and spilling soup all over the floor
Chloe storms out of the room, leaving Jess and her husband to clean up the mess on the floor
At night, Jess has a nightmare
She dreams of an unknown old woman crying in the other room
When Jess goes to confront her, and ask who she is, the old woman pulls out a knife,
and slashes her own neck, killing herself in the process
Jess is horrified and jolts awake
When she wakes up, she finds Chloe standing beside her bed
Apparently, Chloe heard her screaming in her sleep; and was worried
Jess tells her about the dream, and how the old woman with red hair killed herself
Chloe recalls a childhood story about the old lady, who lived near them when they were younger
The old lady had long red hair
She never left her home, but was always looking out the windows
Soon enough, people started calling her a witch
After the old lady died, stories spread that if you knocked on her door, she would come after you
Chloe admits that she and Danny knocked on the door; and now Danny is missing
Jess reassures Chloe that it was just a bad dream, and that she will protect her
The following morning, Tira, the model for Jess’ sculpture, comes to the house
They talk for a while in the studio
When Chloe enters the studio, Tira is disturbed by her presence, and scrambles to leave
Jess chases after her, and asks her what the problem is
Tira tells Jess to be careful around Chloe
She tells her that there is a darkness that surrounds Chloe
Also, she is marked by something terrible, indicating that she now belongs to “someone else”
Later that day, Jess finds Chloe talking to some man by the door
The man introduces himself as a detective
He states that he is investigating Danny’s sudden disappearance; but that there is no need to worry
Jess invites him inside; and they talk
He begins telling the story of how they were called to an orphanage a couple of years ago
At the time, a boy named Michael was reported missing
His friends, Chloe and Danny, believed that the old lady named Mary,
was responsible for Michael’s disappearance;
and so they began harassing her, by knocking on her door every night
Eventually, she could not take it anymore; and Mary killed herself
The detective ends the story,
by saying that there was no evidence to prove Mary had anything to do with the disappearance
Afterward, he begins questioning Chloe about Danny
She tells him that the last time she saw him, was when they knocked on Mary’s door
She also tells the detective that she knows that Mary was the one that took Danny;
and that now she is coming for her too
The detective dismisses Chloe’s fears, and refuses to believe her smelly bullshit
Frustrated at his stubbornness, Chloe walks out of the room
After the detective leaves, Chloe and Jess try to learn more about the witch
Chloe discovers the Eastern European legend of Baba Yaga,
an ancient demon from hell that devours innocent people
However, the demon needs to mark and possess a vessel, in order to do her bidding
It is said that the demon’s mark is visible upon the person’s chest
The possession is also the reason for the two knocks:
the first knock summons the demon; while the second calls the human slave
For someone to break free from the possession, they have to either kill themselves,
or trick someone into taking their place, by doing something evil
Just as Jess tells Chloe that she thinks these ideas are pretty ridiculous,
Chloe sees the demon in the mirror, where Jess’ reflection should be; and runs away
The next day, Chloe is helping move boxes into the studio
Everything is fine until Jess enters the studio, and finds the place trashed
Shelves and materials are on the floor; and her sculptures are destroyed
She finds the words, “SHE’S MINE”, written in blood red on the floor
Jess suddenly loses her temper and blames Chloe, causing her to storm out of the studio
Fortunately, the two make up later at night, before Chloe is able to run away from the house
The same evening, the witch begins to appear in the house
Jess is locked outside of the house, while Chloe is chased by the demon
Just as the demon is about to reach Chloe, Jess is able to reach her,
and pull her away from the demon
They manage to escape the house together, and stay with each other through the night
The next morning, the two are about to leave the house,
when an unseen force lifts Chloe, and throws her against the wall
It begins to pull and drag her out of the house, but is stopped with the help of Jess
Having survived the incident, they go out to meet Tira, for some explanation of what is happening
Tira tells them that it isn’t Baba Yaga that is haunting them
She tells them that it is the vengeful spirit of Mary, who was forced to kill herself,
because she was accused of a crime she didn’t commit
Because Chloe and her friends spread lies and rumors,
accusing her of Michael’s disappearance, Mary’s ghost wanted revenge
Bothered by her own guilt, Chloe suddenly runs away
Tira adds that in order to stop the haunting,
they would have to clear Mary’s name, and prove her innocence
Jess then calls the detective to ask him,
if there were other people suspected of having kidnapped Michael
The detective says there were none,
and that it’s highly likely that Michael had just run away by himself, and never returned
When Jess returns home, she enters her studio,
and finds a box with a bunch of files, and a flash drive inside
After plugging the flash drive into her laptop,
she finds a video of the detective harassing Mary in an interrogation
Jess then visits the orphanage for a meeting, regarding Chloe’s living situation;
and sees a picture of the detective together with Michael
She has an epiphany,
and realizes that the detective is the real culprit behind Michael’s disappearance
She runs out of the meeting, and manages to escape the building together with Chloe
Outside the building, the ground below Chloe’s feet opens up,
and swallows her, teleporting her into another dimension
Jess tries to chase after her; but cannot find her anywhere
Jess rushes over to Mary’s abandoned house, to try and find Chloe there
She breaks into the house, and injures her foot on a nail on the floor
Unable to move, she is caught by police, and is brought to the police station
However, just before she is brought to the station, she manages to knock on the door twice
In the police station, she is questioned by the detective on Chloe’s whereabouts
Jess responds, by telling him that Mary took her
She then blames him for Mary’s suicide,
because she knows that it was the detective and his incessant harassment,
that pushed her over the edge
She also asks him how many more children he killed,
and how he killed them, forcing the detective to walk out of the interrogation room in silence
Left alone in the holding room, Jess plans her escape
She reopens the wound on her foot, and uses the blood to paint the CCTV cameras,
and hide her absence from the police
She then calls on Mary to help her escape
The lights flicker on and off; and after a few moments, she is transported to a forest
Moments later, the detective walks into her room, but doesn’t find her there
He only finds the words, “YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME”, scribbled in blood on the wall
Jess begins walking around, and hears an anonymous voice calling her name
Following the voice, she arrives at a cave, where she finds Chloe locked in a cage
However, before Chloe is rescued by her mother, she sees Michael in front of her
They exchange looks for a moment, until Michael is pulled away by the demon, and killed on the spot
Jess spots Chloe, and immediately works on getting her out of the cage
She succeeds; and Chloe escapes the cage, but not before being seen by the demon
They run away in a panic, and are chased by the demon
Meanwhile, the detective arrives at Mary’s house
He opens the door, and finds an entrance to the demon’s cave
While he is looking around the cave, Jess and Chloe are able to spot the open door,
and begin running towards it
The door begins to close; but is held open by Chloe, allowing both her and Jess to escape the cave
Unlike the girls, the detective is not so lucky
He is caught by the demon, and is dragged back into the depths of the cave
He tries to cling onto the door to save himself, but loses his grip,
and is pulled away from the cave’s exit
The door shuts; and the detective is gone forever
Jess and Chloe walk away from the building, and enter their car, ready to head home
Back at home, Jess’ husband returns home from his work trip
He finds the house in shambles, with both Jess and Chloe missing
Confused and anxious, he calls the police
A few moments later, Jess and Chloe arrive home; but now the husband is missing
At the same time, Tira walks out of the house covered in blood
She opens her car trunk, where the dead husband is shown covered in blood
Tira removes her blood-covered plastic coat,
and reveals the demon’s mark on her chest, which is a sign that she is possessed by Baba Yaga
Back inside the house, Jess and Chloe talk about the detective
Jess tells Chloe that he deserved to die, because he was the real culprit behind Michael’s death
However, Chloe defends him, and says that Mary was the one that fed Michael to the demon
Chloe reminds her that Mary killed herself, to break the demon’s possession and be free
After her initial confusion, Jess realizes that Tira lied,
and tricked her into believing that the detective was the one who killed Michael
Suddenly, the necklace Tira gave her, begins to heat up rapidly
The pendant burns her chest; and when she goes to check the damage,
she sees the demon’s mark branded on her chest
Like Tira, who also has the mark, Jess is now the demon’s slave,
ready to be possessed, and do its evil bidding
The lights abruptly turn off; and all is dark, except for a faint light with the color of blood
In the darkness, Baba Yaga’s outline is seen, watching menacingly from the shadows
