No Knock List review

Summary:
When two hardened criminals facing harsh sentences make a break from prison, they hatch their plan to rob a paranoid recluse who runs a boarding house in her sprawling Victorian manor. Just as their plan seems to be coming together, things inside the mansion begin to unravel. It's a race against time for the men to escape with their lives and sanity intact. The VanGobels mansion holds some very dark secrets, and those who don't follow Ms.VanGobels rules are sure to unlock those secrets. Abandon all hope he who enters here.

     No Knock List is an independently released horror film, directed by Rich Rule, and written by Zeilo Vogta. It stars one of my favorite horror actresses, Maria Olsen. It opens with a short scene in which the inescapable dangers of the house are hinted at. From there, it establishes our two protagonists, Keith, and Lou. They are both prisoners, but Lou seems much more of a hardened criminal. Later, we find out Keith's story of how he ended up in prison.

     There are various creepy scenes, including the dinner table scene, the ballroom scene, and the bathroom scene. The ballroom scene features some ballet, which was both beautiful, and haunting to watch. Actress Maria Olsen plays the matriarch of the bed and breakfast. As usual, she turns in a spooky and eccentric performance. You do not want to bump into her in a dark corridor. Much mystery surrounds the house and its past. The two criminals would probably have been better off going somewhere else.

     I don't want to ruin the ending for you, but suffice it to say, this film is well worth a viewing. Many of the other characters have creepy performances. And there is genuine chemistry between Keith and Andrea, the mysterious and soft-spoken servant with a past.
