The Knocking (Finnish: Koputus) is a 2022 Finnish supernatural horror drama film written and directed by Max Seeck and Joonas Pajunen. It tells the story of three adult siblings who go examine their late parents' house in the middle of a forest. The film's cast includes Inka Kallén, Saana Koivisto and Pekka Strang.
Plot
A dilapidated detached house is located in the heart of the forest in Sydänmaa; the childhood home of the now grown-up main characters, Mikko (Pekka Strang), Maria (Inka Kallén) and Matilda (Saana Koivisto), to which they return years later to settle their parents' estate. The house and the forest are overshadowed by a dark history: 15 years earlier, the father (Niko Saarela) was found brutally murdered in the house, the mother (Olga Temonen) was declared missing at the time, and the youngest of the children, Matilda, was wheeled into a small cage in the corner of the bedroom. When they arrive, they notice that the forest makes them behave strangely.
