It's good to see Halloween 4 director Dwight Little and Halloween 4 actress Danielle Harris working together again here, and with a movie taking place during Halloween, but this movie doesn't come close to that classic. Very confusing and I did not like the ending. The whole witch (at least I guess that's what Natty Knocks is because they never fully explain) made no sense to me. How/why did she become one, and the flashback in the beginning makes me question: since when did they burn women/witches in 1976?? Perhaps in 1676, but definitely not 1976! Then we have plot holes and sudden jumps from one thing to another with filler missing. Toeard the end, I'm pretty sure a character from earlier suddenly shows up where he wasn't even there a moment before. Just very confusing and hard to follow. And I did not like the end.

If you're going into this expecting a danielle harris flick, don't waste your time

I went into this expecting to see a movie reuniting director Dwight Little and Danielle Harris of HALLOWEEN 4 and did not get that at all.
I know people worked on this project so I don't want to sound too harsh in my review. But it might sound harsh, so read at your own discretion if you were part of the making of this movie.
The story is all over the place, so much so that it's hard to even explain. It's alot more complex than the synopsis tells.
A killer obsessed with a b horror actress of the 70s who was killed because she was a witch? Teenagers caught in the middle of the mayhem and all taking place on Halloween.
The focus of the fall season and the holiday itself is barely represented in the movie. And any parts that are halloween and fall focused are more forced than genuine.
The acting is hard to judge because the dialogue is so atrocious. It's not like the actors had much to work with.
Danielle Harris has about 10 minutes or less of screen time. Robert Englund the same.
The movie is promoted as starring the 2 aforementioned stars but is seriously misleading.
I'm surprised that Dwight Little touched this. He's done some truly great work.
There are some nice vibrant color pallets used but that's really the only positive I have. That and danielle looks great as usual.
But the movie has a runtime that feels longer than it is.
It felt like a student project.
Anyway, I paid $17 to watch and support this on YouTube. It wasn't worth it but at least fulfilled my curiosity.
I'm so disappointed. Seeing the names Danielle Harris and Dwight Little together again was exciting as HALLOWEEN 4 is my favorite slasher movie of all time.
What is it going to take to get Danielle back into a decent movie released in theatres in a role with a good amount of meat on its bone?
Her talent continues to be wasted on abysmal material that she is so far above. Her last remarkable performance was Rob Zombies HALLOWEEN II.
She deserves better.
Thumbs down from this guy.

Bland and generic...
paul_haakonsen17 September 2023
I had not heard about this 2023 horror movie titled "Natty Knocks", prior to sitting down to watch it. But seeing that the movie had Bill Moseley and Robert Englund on the cast list, and it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to sit down and watch it.
Well, the storyline in "Natty Knocks", as written by Benjamin Olson, turned out to be a rather mediocre and generic one. Sure, "Natty Knocks" was watchable for what it was, but Benjamin Olson brought nothing to the horror genre that hasn't been seen or done before in other movies, and more often done better and more successfully. So yeah, the overall impression of "Natty Knocks" was a bland and mediocre one. It is a movie that came and went without leaving any lasting impression, and come next week, I will most likely have forgotten about it.
The acting performances in "Natty Knocks" were actually fair enough. And yeah, it certainly was good to see the likes of Bill Moseley and Robert Englund, two horror icons, together on the screen, though they had nothing much to work with in terms of script, characters and storyline.
Visually then "Natty Knocks" was a very mundane movie. There were special effects, sure, but they were hardly memorable or outstanding.
"Natty Knocks" is the type of movie you watch once, then shelf it and never look at it again.
My rating of director Dwight H. Little's 2023 horror movie "Natty Knocks" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Turned off after 35 mins
sallywino9 September 2023
I love films and especially horror films and it's very rare I turn a film off but I just had to. The acting wasn't good, nothing had happened and what had been on in the first 30 muns was rubbish and makes no sense.
I thought this would be good as I'm a huge Halloween fan and love them all but I have no Idea what the point of this film is and where it was even going.
This is probably the lowest I've ever given but it's just bad and like I said bad enough to turn off. I literally wouldn't waste your time with this but I am a strong believer as each to your own so what I don't like others may but this certainly wasn't for me.

I came across this whole looking for a movie to stream. While I am a big fan of Richer Englund bill Moseley and Danielle Harris. I was not a big fan of this movie. But not due to the lack of bad acting or actors or even the cinematography. But they the storyline of the movie itself. The beginning of the movie had nothing to do with the rest of the entire film. The second act of the movie had nothing to do with the end of the film either. And the third act of the movie spouted out a whole bunch of nonsense that made the movie make even less sense than the rest of it. But overall I've seen far worse movies.
20% of Robert England, Danielle Harris, Lighting and Grindhouse feel was good. 80% of the film was very stupid and bad.
kmkevinn-647335 October 2023
The lighting in Natty Knocks is well done it did have a grindhouse feel into Bill Moseley's eyes as well as the fake low budget movie thats playing. That's the most positive thing I can say about this one. The movie is one giant cliché which is another word for stupidity, why in the hell did i watched Natty Knocks, in the beginning it had a CGI Fire and smoke, and not performed well nor interestingly. The acting besides Danielle Harris wish there was more in depth just like Robert England. Mostly is Bill Moseley but everyone else is god awful and the story is sophomoric. Natty Knocks challenges the audience to care about copper wire way more than anyone ever has or should. So weird and why was it slow burned 91 minutes of it felt like 110 minutes of information but why 91 minutes that just felt wrong.
Why?
jamosmonk19 September 2023
Why spend this kind of money and production only to have the actors act like idiots and do and say unrealistic things. The ONLY character that seems realistic is the KILLER. All the other characters seem like high school theater kids. Although it is somewhat enjoyable to watch them get killed to stop the inanity. The utter narcissism and vapid discussions make you root for killer to take them out. WHY is this babysitter acting like the mother of these kids while the realtor mother is never home but never selling a house. She shouldve been the older sister. This wouldve been better as a black comedy since the stilted cliches dialogue already comes off as un self aware as it is. Babysitter is also moronically acted and her motivations are stupid. This is why
People have no faith in Hollywood types. Clearly this was never test screened or it never get released.
Expected something much worse than this
HorrorFilmHellion29 September 2023
After watching 4 or 5 stinkers in a row, this one stood out as actually... good, at least in relative terms. This has a lot going for it in competent direction, good audio/lighting, stable camera, scene framing that made sense, and better than average acting. The story was homage-good, although a little leaky- but actually having one was a nice touch. Besides a few veteran greats in here with Harris, Moseley, and Englund, the young leads were far better than expected. Charlotte as Britt is very charismatic and delivers well. Thomas Robie as Wyatt showed good restraint in places where young actors typically overdo it. The one distraction was the age issue. I was trying to overlook that Wyatt looked basically the same age as Britt, and even Jolie was too old for a high-school sitter and to be crying often. But hey, the skill trade-off was worth overlooking this. This is more of a family-friendly (PG13) homage horror than say, the Hatchet series, but it's still better than quite a few I've seen lately. I recommend it if you try to catch all the new lower/mid budget offerings or indies.

SPOOKTOBER chapter 15:
A Horror set on Halloween
It all began with me full of glee and excitement when I found out about "Natty Knocks" on its release day, beloved genre faces like Bill Moseley, Robert Englund and Danielle Harris listed in the lead roles was an immediate sell, and it's set on Halloween, so basically I had no choice but to watch it. Director Dwight H, Little, too, is reputable enough and perhaps most known for directing Halloween 4, so what can go wrong.
Everything can go wrong! "Natty Knocks" may somewhat have the heart in the right place, but this is hands down one of the muddiest, messiest, logic-lacking, badly structured and consistently downhill going horror movie screenplay I've ever seen. Well familiar with these actors filmographies, I was all pumped for a highly risky B grade slice of horror, but set against some even cheaper genre pieces, "Natty Knocks" manages to be the more flawed one.
The intro, energetic and kind of out of nowhere, was, frankly, one of two best parts of this film. It lasted about three minutes, and (spoiler) introduced us to a certain career woman by the name of Natty Knocks who gets lynched by the neighborhood wifes for serving their husbands on the premise that Natty is a witch, and as she dies Ms. Knocks screams she'll return for their descendants. Cut to 2023, Halloween day, and it all starts go to hell with odd structures, shabby dialogue and characters, offbeat, and not in a good way, story lines, disappointing pay-offs, and plenty of other nonsense details for your brain to stew on.
That other good part of "Natty Knocks" is Bill Moseley. Well, Englund too, but he's not here for a long time, more for a good time... Danielle got a character one couldn't care much for. Moseley eats more screen time and portrays the leading villain, and, well, does his best with what's been given. Other than that, there's not enough gore, madness, pleasant aesthetic or anything else that would help redeem the obvious flaws.
With portions of frustration on the way, it all led into a very lackluster finale, and just left me... disgruntled? "Natty Knocks" strived to be a throwback-type 80's summer horror blockbuster tribute, but exploded into a massive misfire, and, as I found out after the consumption of this film, for the story/screenplay writer this is the very first IMDb credit, so... Approach at your own risk. I wanted to like it, I really did. My rating: 3/10.

Not really a scary movie. But fun
crystallakelive21 September 2023
I wouldn't called Natty Knocks a scary movie or a horror movie. In my opinion, it was more of a thriller. So, it would probably be good for people who don't particularly like scary movies or jump scare types of movies? The acting was good. Some big names are in it. It was actually shot very well. Definitely better than the "made for Netflix" movies or some low budget nonsense. I definitely loved the Halloween time atmosphere and fall season that is in the background of the movie (but it's California, do not expect actual fall leaf colors etc). .
If you go into it not expecting a scary or gory movie, you might appreciate it more.
Better Than Expected
kms159221 September 2023
I watch a ton of horror films, especially on Tubi. Roughly 80% are so boring or just plain bad that I either fall asleep or turn them off. So I had really low expectations for this but figured I'd check it out. It turned out to be far better than anticipated. The story isn't totally original, but it's got enough different elements that it doesn't feel stale. The cast, especially the girl who plays the babysitter, do a pretty solid job. Bill Moseley is creepy as always. Not sure why so many people seem confused as to what is happening and when. It's pretty clear throughout. And I liked the ending, as it kept the film from being too predictable. So if you like standard 70s-80s B horror with slasher themes (but not much actual gore), you can do far worse than this movie.
Knock you out
kosmasp24 April 2024
No pun intended - I really did not want to think too much about my summary line. Casting wise this really made some great choices (even in smaller roles like Englund). But even with Moseley in a bigger role (and he is giving it his all, no holding back punches then). The story is quite simple and I think quite predictable to say the least.
The movie also looks good and it has nice effects, but I am quite certain it will leave you cold - shame because there was something there, with a "new" story to tell. We have seen the revenge angle before - but you can twist and tweak things. Try to find something unique maybe .. or at least focus on one thing or another.
Add to that quite the convoluted and bad ending too ... well I may have been too nice again .. but it is Bill Moseley ... and he is really good, no matter what.

Not Good
kskmah23 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
When the movie has to lie and say Starring horror legends Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, and Robert Englund, you know it's going to be pretty bad. Yes, Bill was the killer, but Danielle was not a main character and Robert had like 5 mins of screen time. LOL. The kids were not good actors and the story was really stupid. The kids were really stupid but I guess that's why they are kids? I guess they don't have cell phones to record things anymore. Why didn't the killer kill the indian man? He just beat him up and pushed him off the porch? And then the kid said he thought he was dead? Why and how would he think this since he ran away. Then the ending was really stupid and bad and really made no sense.
Terrible
curlycady31 October 2023
This is by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. At first, I thought it may just be more suited for young adult viewers. I found myself reaching for my phone because there was nothing drawing me to the film. I'm honestly surprised I finished it, not necessarily happy that I did either. Incredibly subpar acting throughout. Overall, it felt very juvenile and cheesy, not in a respectable way either. I couldn't even laugh through the unironically comically bad portions. The scenes trying to tie together the plot simply had a retro-film overlay, which did zero convincing it was filmed in the 60's. Minimal authenticity on any level with this movie.
An incredibly problematic if still watchable genre effort
kannibalcorpsegrinder23 October 2023
After witnessing a kill in action, a teen and his friends are insistent on proving the actions took place when no one believes them and are soon set upon by the killer himself as he tries to play out the work of his late actress mother who was burned alive as a witch years ago and is intent on making the town pay.
This was a somewhat underwhelming if still likable enough effort. Among the likable aspects of this one is the inclusion of the serial killer storyline into a film involving the spirit of a witch coming back for revenge. The means through which the kids are introduced as they're skipping school and stumble upon the location where he's involved with the torment of the victim and then sets his sights on them while they try to make everyone aware of what's going on. As this goes along nicely with the secondary setup of the life of the killer sitting around watching various horror scenes of his mother's actress days like they're home movies that manage to include some solid shocks, it sets off a generally enjoyable time. The only other aspect of this one that comes off rather well is the finale where it manages to get some action going again. With the killer finally given a reason to strike as the clues to what's going on finally come together, the incidents surrounding everything from the attack at the haunted house they visit and the subsequent abduction at their house all feature some intriguing action to set this going rather nicely. The big confrontation in the killer's house that ends this is a bit on the brief side but still manages to get enough twists, surprise reveals, and a nice bit of brutal action that results in a fun finish that has a lot of nice gore as well thrown in which give this one enough to like to make it entertaining enough. However, there are some big issues with this one. One of its biggest drawbacks is that the setup to this one is just not that well-developed and really loses interest quite easily. The small-town folklore of the witch living there, and the game associated with it, the involvement of the family, and how they draw the attention of the killer is all good enough on its own but is just so dreary that it's quite easy to be bored with the lack of action on display. The back-and-forth interactions that take place as a main part of the film's setup manage to bring more of a lackluster overall pace that isn't all that interesting nor make the group all that interesting to follow along with as none of this setup makes anyone likable or worthwhile in wanting to follow along with them. The other issue here is the fact that there's not a whole lot of sense that runs through this one. With the initial setup here supposedly being the killer stalking the babysitter for what they know about his crimes but then also mixing together a witch that moves into the town where they live but not being a vengeful spirit witch and some interpersonal drama taking place around this central storyline, it doesn't really feel connected to anything and more as several random storylines chucked together to make the movie. These end up being the main factors that hold this back.

Yes I'm a fan
pantilt18 September 2023
" Natty Knocks" has fun with it's killer's ( Bill Moseley) obsession with his mother's old 1970's horror films, and Robert Englund does a great job explaining how the Natty Knocks legend was born.
The older horror stars( Danielle Harris is in this too ) are well supported by young unknowns especially baby sitter Charlotte Fountain Jardim in her impressive debut.
With a Halloween horror fun house, a teen romance, a crooked cop, and an angry ghost, a creepy graveyard, the film is fun to watch. The kids spend a little too much time trying to figure out the killer's identity and the supernatural element is a little rushed but overall a fun movie to watch.

Nice and Tame Halloween Flick 🎃

Definitely was excited for this one and I honestly enjoyed it! I felt it was a nice little horror flick for the Halloween season. It wasn't too bloody either.
Great to see Danielle Harris back in a Halloween type of movie and to star with Robert Englund and Bill Moseley. I loved her with Tobert Englund in Urban Legend and with Bill Moseley in Blood Night!
The main character Britt's performance in this was awesome! Let's hope she does some more horror movies soon. All of the kids in this did a good job. I particularly enjoyed the Halloween haunted house scene as well, thought that part was perfectly done.
I went into this thinking it was possibly going to be a teen slasher flick, but it surprisingly enough had a decent storyline!

Warning: Spoilers
The film follows classic horror film formula. It opens in 1976 with has-been Scream Queen Natty Nocks (Joey Bothwell) working as a prostitute in her home town. The town claims she is a witch and they burn her as she curses revenge against them and their children. Her son was a witness to everything so we know the plot already. The picks up 47 years later so technically we should be dealing with teen grandchildren. The film center on Wyatt (Thomas Robie) his family and friend Robbie (Noen Perez). Britt (Charlotte Fountain-Jardim) is about the same age as Wyatt but babysits his sister Jolie (Channah Zeitung). During skipping school, their antics allows them to view the missing girl and the guy who kidnapped her. This lead to a cat and mouse game. The killer lives in the old Nocks house.
They eliminate cell phones due to a lack of money. It takes a while for the kids to figure out what the viewers have already deduced. The film also has Robert Englund in a minor role. Bill Moseley plays the killer. Seasoned horror film star Danielle Harris plays the mom. Decent film that has all the bells and whistles.

A great throwback
jakewarman13 September 2023
Not surprising that Halloween 4 director Dwight Little did this since the Halloween small town atmosphere and creepy stalker character brings back memories of the good days of horror.
Charlotte Fountain Jardim is steller as the baby sitter and the B movies that the killer watches in his basement are really fun.
Robert Englund really sells the town elder who helps us understand the mystery and lore of Natty Knocks. Danielle Harris is very believable as a grown up real estate agent and concerned mother and Bill Moseley creeps out as the town killer.
This could have had a few more kills but the scares that are there are really good. The Free Willy kid (Jason Richter) makes a good cop. This movie is an awesome good time.
Underrated!

This movie is great for teens and Adults . It's brilliantly suspenseful and with great story line. I absolutely loved the artistic nostalgic 80s vibe. The 4 kids Had great chemistry on screen , Wyatt , Robbie and Jolie and Britt. The 4 of them Nailed their roles . Not too scary but Perfect for those who like a little halloween fun .I love Dwight little films so this was exciting to watch . I also loved the iconic trio of Mosley , Harris and England . I hope this movie gets a sequel. The potential for a sequel is totally there for the legend of nattyknocks and the 4 kids .I look forward to watching Natty Knocks every Halloween.
Great Story and Great Film.

This movie is a cool throwback to 1980's horror films . It's a classic babysitter movie with a great young cast that really stands out. The stalker/slasher played by Bill Moseley is really unique. He is traumatized by his own mother's 1960's B slasher films so there is a kind of meta horror vibe to the whole thing. There is also a mystery about the bad guy that the kids are able to discover so there is a fun detective angle as well . This is an enjoyable ride with great Halloween atomosphere and has the great support of 80's icons Danielle Harris and Robert Englund. Easily 9 out of 10 stars....
