Obscure Classics
Much like The Set-Up, a movie from 3 years earlier, Don’t Bother to Knock attempts to tell a story in real time or at least near real time. This is a stylistic choice that was rarely made in films of this era, in fact it has rarely been attempted in the entire history of film. A few examples come to mind, such as the television show 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland, and the 2003 film Phone Booth as well as 88 minutes with Al Pacino. Rope (1948), which was Directed by Alfred Hitchcock also employed an attempt at this near real time approach. Much like Rope, Don’t Bother to Knock begins to feel somewhat claustrophobic.
Las 100 películas de Cahiers - La Soga

Massive dehumanization, totalitarian government, rampant disease, post-apocalyptic terrains, cyber-genetic technologies, societal chaos and widespread urban violence are some of the common themes in dystopian films which bravely examine the ominous shadow cast by future. A dystopia is a fictional society that is the antithesis or complete opposite of a utopia, an ideal world with a perfect social, political and technological infrastructure. A world without chaos, strife or hunger. A world where the individual potential and freedom is celebrated and brought to the forefront.
