Into The Dark - Season 1, Episode 09: They Come Knocking
Trailer
In a new, exciting and terrifying series, Kimberly suffers a severe fear of exposed places. She has not left her home long after her father was killed. It seems that everything will be terrifying for her in her home; she does not know where she will leave and who the person she will go to is.
A portrait of grief that radically feels offensive when placed in your standard 'invasion thriller'. This made me feel angry. [Full review in Spanish].
It's not that the story is all-new, but the charged atmosphere created by the filmmaker allows its most potent points to be made clearly and with an empathetic degree of poignance.
Unlike its predecessors, this film won't linger for long in the mind. In fact, you'll be lucky if you remember anything outside of the excellent performances delivered by the actors.
The script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke is beautifully horrifying, and Adam Mason's direction somehow makes a story about creepy supernatural kids in hoodies torturing a family seem real
Into the Dark: They Come Knocking is at its best when it lets its characters be vulnerable. Conversely, the film is at its worst when it aims for straight horror.
