Oh, those playful horror films when teens are shredded except for the virgin. We love that trope, but what if the monster is not familiar with that trope. Today we have a brutal one with a lot of high school babes who will not stay babes. A dark film that will stay dark, so be warned. With a great looking cast, a slimy monster, and tons of gore, impalements, and burning, a Syfy original is our feature today. Let us look at 2017's "Neverknock," directed by Sheldon Wilson.
Eliana Jones is a sultry actress and she is in this clad in a cheerleaders costume. Uh oh, she is sixth in the credits meaning she will die a most gory death. Sadly she will be first to go...impaled by a myriad of needles...the monster did not like cheerleaders. So sad. Okay, legend has it if one knocks on the door of this old abandoned house on Halloween, the monster inside will pull you in and murder you. The creature will kill you by what you fear the most. For the lovely Grace (Dominique Provost-Chalkley) fire is her poison. Her mom burned to death in a car wreck one year ago. She is looking after her little fearless sister Jenna (Lola Flanery) when her new buddy, and potential lesbian lover, the lovely Leah (Jodelle Ferland) comes to get her to go trick-or-treating. Along for the night is the sultry Amy (Kiana Madeira), the hunk Gavin (Varun Saranga), and the aforementioned cheerleader Sydney.
Jenna knocks on the door and the horror begins. Yep, the sultry Sydney is impaled by needles. She is the first. Her mates have fears, too. Bugs, fire, blood, etc. Jenna, the little sister is not afraid of anything. See where this is going? You are part right. When Jenna is taken by the house early on, Grace swears she will find her. Leah, who wants to get into Grace's pants helps. The others? Monster bait! They'll be hunted by their own fears. So, the brave will prevail? Nope. The monster is loose on the town and lures the surviving babes back to it. Then, what happens will be even more horrifying.
Will Leah and Grace survive and have a make-out session? Will the fearless Jenna reemerge and slay the monster who kills with fear? Was it a mistake to kill Sydney the cheerleader off so early, as she was the sultriest of the sultry in this one? For those of you who like their horror films horrific and dark, see "Neverknock."
