Don't Come Knocking

Audience emotional responses are heavily weighted towards Sadness, Melancholy, and Empathy, reflecting Howard Spence's journey as a washed-up star confronting his past and the emptiness of his life. The search for his child introduces a significant element of Hope and Curiosity, driving the narrative. Nostalgia for what could have been and Inspiration from his attempt at redemption also play key roles. Underlying these are feelings of Disgust (self-disgust) and Guilt stemming from his past actions, making for a poignant and reflective character study typical of a character-driven drama.
