“Knock Knock Run” by Steve Perrong
Teenage misfits, Miles and Taylor, spend their days pulling reckless pranks and filming their suburban boredom on an old camcorder, all while vying for the attention of their female friend, Mel. But their fun takes a dark turn when they target the wrong house—an eerie, rundown property belonging to Hanlen, a reclusive local legend with a violent past. What was supposed to be another harmless prank spirals into chaos when their camera—filled with personal footage and incriminating stunts—is left behind and taken by Hanlen. Desperate to retrieve it, Miles and Taylor risk everything by breaking into Hanlen’s house, only to uncover unsettling truths and push their friendship to the breaking point. As the night escalates into a harrowing game of cat and mouse, their loyalty, courage, and survival instincts are tested. By morning, nothing will be the same.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“This film was born from reflecting on my journey as a filmmaker. Making movies with my friends was all I ever did, and I wanted to create something that anyone could see themselves in. Almost everyone has a story about being a kid and getting into trouble. I set out to capture the essence of summer in the suburbs—when a single neighborhood feels like an entire universe.”
