And while as a horror lover I have always appreciated that guy, I do think that with Knock Knock, Roth shows promise as a filmmaker who can also take an introspective approach to telling horrific stories, something I had been waiting to see from him for some time now. Evan tries to do the right thing and help the girls out, but after a bit of innocent flirting goes much (MUCH) further than that, he soon realizes his infidelity and lies are about to cost him everyone and everything he loves as his new friends decide they don’t want to leave until they’ve had some fun at Evan’s expense.Īfter helming films like Cabin Fever, Hostel or even The Green Inferno, Roth has become well-known amongst genre fans as a director who is always ready to assault your eyeballs with unforgettable gore and wildly evocative imagery. One night, there’s a knock at his door from a pair of nymphets in the form of Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana de Armas), who are lost and in need of some assistance. In his first "Dad Role," Reeves stars in Knock Knock as Evan Webber, a likable and mostly happy husband and father who has been left home alone for the weekend to wrap up a looming architect project for work. Unlike most of his previous films, Roth subtly goes for the jugular with Knock Knock, building to a finale brimming with surreal tension and a wickedly dark sense of humor that left me both cringing and laughing. There’s a popular saying that goes, “Nice guys finish last,” and that’s certainly the case for Keanu Reeves’ character in Eli Roth’s latest thriller, Knock Knock, which finds the veteran actor fighting off a pair of crazed women after a sultry night of fun that comes at a hefty price.
