Frida Kempff makes her feature directorial debut with the horror-thriller Knocking, the film adaptation of John Theorin‘s novel of the same name.
In the film, which made its world premiere at Sundance, “after suffering a traumatic incident, Molly (Cecilia Milocco) moves into a new apartment to begin her path to recovery, but it’s not long after her arrival that a series of persistent knocks and screams begin to wake her up at night. Molly’s new life begins to unravel as the screams intensify and no one else in the building believes or is willing to help her.”
Çecilia Miloccco, Albin Grenholm, Alexander Salzberger, Krister Kern, Ville Virtanen, Charlotta Åkerblom, and Naida Ragimova star.
The script for Knocking was written by Emma Broström and is produced by Erik Andersson for Läsk in collaboration with SVT and the Swedish Film Institute through the initiative Moving Sweden with support from Norrköpings Filmfond. Federico Ambrosini served as executive producer.
Knocking is a timely psychological horror-thriller built on very real human fears and anxieties, skillfully lensed with claustrophobic precision by Hannes Krantz and features a pulsing score by Martin Dirkov.
Knocking will open in theaters soon, from Yellow Veil Pictures. In the meantime, check out the new teaser.
