Yeah, someone in the comments said it was Funny Games, with two hot chicks. I'll go a step further and say Keanu's character is a secret psycho.

I can see accusations of misogyny about this film from a mile away.

This came out before Funny Games and probably influenced it. And reading that article is sounds like a direct remake/ripoff of this one.

One of the reviews:

Eli Roth's glossy and reasonably fun update of Peter Traynor's 1977 exploitation movie "Death Game."

Another:

A taboo thriller that will put Fifty Shades of Grey to shame.

Hard Candy without the little boy, but two sluts.

Only nothing really happens in Hard Candy.

That clip is so cheesy that it looks like the beginning of a Funny Or Die or College Humor video.

Roth has yet to make a great film, and this certainly won't be the exception.

Agreed.

Colleen Camp who plays one of the crazy chicks in Death Game is the producer of Knock Knock.
Spoiler:
Plus she has a cameo in the 'update'


If Roth can capture half of the intense insanity of Death Game then Knock Knock should be a blast.

Yea Death Game was intense. I liked it quite a bit when I was younger for obvious reasons...I have not seen it in many years however.

I think it still holds up well but then again, it has been a favorite of mine since VHS days.
Death Game is such a product of its time, even though it was most likely only jumping the home invasion / Last House on the Left bandwagon.
What I like about the movie is the plot because its like an urban legend story. So simple yet very effective. We shall see how this translates in Roth's update.

On top of that I read that Peter Traynor (Director/Producer of Death Game) and Camp's co-star in Death Game, Sondra Locke have Executive Producer credits.

Interesting 54 seconds to start off a trailer like that....

I thought I'd be the first to mention the thematic similarities to Death Game. Man, what a piece of trash that is!

I wouldn't mind being tortured and murdered after a threesome with those two.

I love it. We need more batshit crazy women on the big screen.

What do you think the girls are forcing Keanu to listen to while torturing him tied to the chair? William Shatner perhaps?

Soundbytes of him delivering his lines from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

So they went the In Theaters/VOD path on this one. It's available to rent for $6.99 starting today.

Planning to check this one out a bit later tonight.

Wow, surprised this went to on demand as well. I got invited to an early screening for this earlier this summer, but couldn't go. Thought this would get a full fledged theatrical release.

Anyways, Roth's movies are a guilty pleasure. Hell, I just saw Green Inferno a few weeks ago. I'll probably rent this on demand.

33% on RT. Meh.

Watched this on Friday night. It was alright, entertaining enough I suppose. The girls were very easy on the eyes. It was a prime example of terrible Keanu Reeves though. He was almost ridiculously over the top with his performance IMO.

RichC2 10-11-15 11:08 PM

Re: Knock Knock (2015, D: Eli Roth) S: Keanu Reeves
 
Yeah, I read he went full Nic Cage in this one.

John Wick would have never let those girls in. He would have headshotted them within seconds.

Why So Blu? 10-12-15 01:02 AM

Re: Knock Knock (2015, D: Eli Roth) S: Keanu Reeves
 
I just finished watching this and I really enjoyed the first part of the film but once
Spoiler:
he banged them both it went downhill fucking fast. he was such a passive sap. Anyone with some sense would have beat the shit out of those two chicks. Hell, his friend almost came through but the stupid bit with the inhaler was not needed. Yeah, and he was supposedly from "Oakland."
A lot of good that did him. :sarcasm:

I find the actress that played Keanu's wife very attractive. She's Chilean but looks Swedish. Hell, they filmed it in Chile and the brunette is Eli Roth's wife. I'm gonna go on the assumption that Roth has a South American multi-picture deal with companies down there to make movies. The Green Inferno, Knock Knock, and what else?

Now I'm curious to see the original Knock Knock. It really can't get much worse.

I can see why this was given the VOD late in the game.
