A real mixed bag as is usually the way with these affairs.
The movie claims to be inspired by grand guignol style spectacle and I think it delivers on that but with better lighting than a hollywood studio movie.
It turns out that Finnish woods can be weird places. I came for the promise of a folky kinda horror and stayed for the weird family drama. Scares are few and mostly confined to the last act.
On the whole The Knocking is not amazing but it's nicely paced and doesn't overstay it's welcome.
Sadly lacks the dream logic on its predecessor, but a worthy sequel. Definitely doesn't hold up to close analysis, but a fun ride all the same.
I didn't find this groundbreaking or original in any major way, but it is certainly a good watch.
