The new supernatural horror film Don’t Knock Twice benefits greatly from the direction of Caradog James.

Unfortunately, then the third act happens, and the spell is broken. Read full review

Disappointing because its creators don't do anything interesting with a fairly novel theme: a mother's possessive love for her estranged daughter. Read full review
