You'd think a horror movie directed by "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" helmer Dwight Little and starring genre legends Bill Mosely, Robert Englund and Danielle Harris, in which a band of teens seek to survive the murderous meltdown of the son of a B-horror movie actress once burned at the stake by angry townsfolk, would at least be a bit of a good time. Alas, outside of a handful of cute references to horrors of yesteryear, "Natty Knocks" is a largely joyless Halloween slasher that fails to reach its potential. In fact, the younger cast members here outshine the veterans, who are given little of substance to work with and don't seem particularly inspired by it. Bill Moseley as a serial killing villain sounds great on paper (especially after his stellar work in Rob Zombie's "Firefly" trilogy), but unfortunately his energy only matches the rest of this bland movie.
