The Knock

Is this reality or madness?

Max lives alone in a quiet apartment. One evening, his routine is disrupted by an unexpected knock at the door. After going out into the hallway and finding no one there, he returns to his room and notices that familiar objects are no longer in their places. Strange events continue, and the apartment itself begins to feel alien. Everyday objects subtly shift positions, creating an unsettling sensation as if reality is shifting around him. Unable to explain what's happening, Max finds himself trapped in a terrifying cycle, where every attempt to regain control only deepens the mystery. Inspired by the psychological horror film SCHIZOPHRENIA, THE KNOCK explores themes of perception, isolation, and the fragile boundary between reality and human consciousness.
