Knock Knock (2015)
Average remake of a forgotten 70s exploitation film
Knock Knock is a so so remake of Death Game (1977) which starred Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp (who has a cameo as the masseuse in the new version). The plot is mostly the same as the original with some modern updates. I was not a huge fan of the original, although the concept was original for its time and it had a whopper of a surprise ending. The remake has neither of those things going for it, and based on some other reviews it was too subtle with certain plot points, leaving people confused. Overall this remake felt like a poor imitation of Hard Candy, which is a much better film.
The Zodiac Killer (1971)
An interesting piece of Zodiac history
Directed by Tom Hanson, who had previously owned a chain of Pizza Man restaurants, THE ZODIAC KILLER was made to capture the real- life Zodiac Killer. That plan didn't work. Instead, we got the most outrageous and compelling "tabloid horror" vortex in the history of planet Earth. And beyond. During theatrical screenings, Hanson constructed in- theater "traps" to lure the killer from hiding. These included the use of an ice cream freezer filled with rent-a-cops and a raffle with a motorcycle as a prize. You won't get insight like this by watching a David Fincher movie. But you will get it while watching THE ZODIAC KILLER.
