United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"If it had skipped the clichéd supernatural elements to instead concentrate on the relationship between the two central characters, 'Don’t Knock Twice' might have emerged as an interesting film."	NEU
United States	Alex McLevy AV Club	"It’s a periodically scary and entertaining movie that provides further evidence that James has everything he needs to make a great film—except a script worthy of his talents."	NEU
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"'Don't Knock Twice' is disappointing because its creators don't do anything interesting with a fairly novel theme (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"Although replete with creepy shocks, this lacks the narrative finesse to match the committed performances and slick visuals (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United States	Henry Stewart Slant	"The film's storylines fail to inform or intensify each other in any theme-deepening or character-developing ways (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
