For their final weekend together before graduating college, a group of young adults decide to spend some quality time in a house up in a mountain neighbourhood. While there, it seems this will be a time for dirty laundry to be aired, like Jess (Rachel Donahue) getting knocked up by [[YourCheatingHeart someone other than her boyfriend]], and Derrick (Jack Buckley) admitting that he [[TakingTheHeat took the heat]] and went to a jail for a crime committed by his brother, Dom (Brendan Donegan).

''The Night They Knocked'' is a [[HorrorFilms Horror Movie]] by Sean Roberts.

For their final weekend together before graduating college, a group of young adults decide to spend some quality time in a house up in a mountain neighbourhood.

Of course, those plans are soon brought to a halt once the sun goes down, and the gang find they've got some unexpected visitors with some not-too-good intentions for them.

The movie was released on October 11th, 2019.
