When two best friends take on a strange door-to-door job, what seems like easy money leads them somewhere they should never have gone.

About the Film

Knock Knock blends unsettling horror with razor-sharp wit, turning a familiar part-time job into a nightmare you can’t walk away from. This story is a darkly comedic exploration of corporate exploitation, desperation, and the cost of selling out. It invites viewers to look twice at the seemingly mundane and to beware of what lurks behind every door.

Maya and Jess are two young women just trying to make ends meet when they take a door-to-door canvassing job. At first, it’s the usual soul-crushing grind of slammed doors and awkward encounters. But as the day wears on, the job takes them to a house that isn’t quite what it seems—and soon, they’re caught in something far stranger and more dangerous than they ever expected.

Knock Knock is more than just a horror-comedy—it explores the pressures of young adulthood and corporate demands, all with a twist that will keep the audience guessing until the final moment.
