"The inspiration for The Knocking comes from the Finnish forests, which offer an excellent setting for psychological horror and a stage for a world that oozes the rather gloomy folklore and pushes the buttons of the viewers’ subconscious minds. We believe that genuine fear is created deep in the subconscious. Our aim was to create a mood that enables waking up these fears hiding in the corners of our minds – without forgetting the story which will surprise the viewers and keep them in its grip from the first scene until the last. In the film, three siblings come face to face with a gloomy tragedy in the forest; it’s the tragedy that struck their parents and the youngest one of them many years ago. The characters’ traumas and the primitive, reduced environment create a titillating combination that will surprise viewers who have become numb of splatter and special effects horror; the combination will make them bite their nails. The beauty of the film is that in it, an environment that we’re so familiar with becomes threatening. The movie also makes a statement that underlines the relationship between the nature and humans."
