Hard Candy was so much better

Not going to crap on this movie TOO much, I think it can be looked at as sort of a dark comedy in a way, even if I think the two girls were effed up and had no moral grounds to ruin this man’s life (and more so his family’s) for what he did. Plus they actually committed at least manslaughter, if not murder, of Louis.

But if you were disappointed by the lack of a point to this movie, check out Hard Candy with Elliot Page and Patrick Wilson. Absolutely WONDERFUL film! I was constantly thinking about it during Knock Knock.

But its also a rather DIFFERENT film in a sense that, spoilers - there...

Hailey, a young girl, tortures etc a guilty man whereas in this movie, the girls mistreat, at one point also via coercive sexual activity among other things, a man who was essentially innocent, even with his flaws, and they were the villains of the story overall.

This movie yeah its basically Hard Candy meets Funny Games meets Death Game among other things.
