After the event, she begins to feel threatened and asks her mother Jess, an unsuccessful sculptor who desperately wanted to regain custody of her daughter, to live with her. Soon, the demonic spirit finds her and torments the house where they live.

It's a periodically scary and entertaining movie that provides further evidence that James has everything he needs to make a great film?except a script worthy of his talents.

If it had skipped the clichéd supernatural elements to instead concentrate on the relationship between the two central characters, 'Don't Knock Twice' might have emerged as an interesting film.
Read - 5.0 Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray
The best reason to see 'Don't Knock Twice' is the volatile chemistry between genre favorites Katee Sackhoff and Lucy Boynton, playing mother-daughter duo Jess and Chloe.
