Knock Knock (song)

"Knock Knock" is a song by American recording artist Monica, taken from her fourth studio album After the Storm (2003). It was written and produced by rapper-producer Missy Elliott and commissioned following the delay and subsequent reconstruction of Monica's 2002 album, All Eyez on Me. One out of a handful of tracks which Elliott contributed, the song incorporates elements of 1970s-style soul and quiet storm, as well as hip hop, and is built around excerpts of the record "It's a Terrible Thing to Waste Your Love" as written by Lee Hatim and released by The Masqueraders in 1976. Rapper Kanye West, whose 2005 Freshmen Adjustment mixtape recording "Apologize" the track is based on, is listed as the song's co-producer.

J Records released "Knock Knock", alongside fellow Elliott production "Get It Off," as one of two singles following leading single "So Gone" during the third quarter of 2003. The song was lauded by critics, who praised its streetwise production and Monica's rap part on the track. A moderate success at the charts, it peaked at number 75 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 24 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Its accompanying music video, directed by Chris Robinson, was filmed as a two-part story with "So Gone".

Knock Knock (2007 film)

Knock Knock is a horror film released in 2007. It was filmed in Monsignor Farrell High School located in Staten Island, New York. The story involves a group of teens being killed in a manner somehow associated with their parents' careers while a female detective and retired beat cop fumble around trying to catch the killer.

Reception

Knock Knock has been met with overwhelmingly negative critical and user reviews, and has a 17% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Jenn Eblin wrote on reviewstream.com, "If you’re thinking of a way to waste an hour and a half of your life, give the movie Knock Knock a try. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don’t know how I ever sat through the whole movie." "I can handle a movie if it has a bad plot, bad acting, bad characters, a bad ending, or even bad lighting and sets. Unfortunately I can’t handle all of those things at one time in the same movie, which is what I ended up with here."
