Knock
Knock
(2015)
Knock
Knock is a thriller where
Evan (Keanu Reeves) is
spending the Father's Day
weekend alone as his wife
and kids leave him so that
he can get some work done.
Things are fine until he
gets a knock at the door
and finds to soaking wet
girls Bel (Ana de Armas)
and Genesis (Lorenza Izzo)
who are lost on the way to
a party. He lets them in
to dry off and gets them
an Uber cab, but this will
take 45 minutes.
Everything seems fine
until the girls are about
to leave and instead of
putting their dry clothes
back on, they are
completely naked and want
Evan badly. To which he
reluctantly obliges... The
next morning, the two
girls are still hanging
around, helping themselves
to breakfast and despite
stern commands to leave,
the girls do not. Then,
they drop the bombshell
that they are both
underage and will destroy
him if he doesn't let them
stay. Evan is in
disbelief, but he manages
to get the girls to leave
and drops them off at
there home. Problem solved
except the girls come back
later that night and now
they are going to have
some real fun with Evan.
Now, Evan's not just
fighting for his dignity,
he's fighting for his life
against two girls who want
to make him pay for his
mistake. A remake of the
70s movie Death Game,
Knock Knock is an OK
darkly comedic thriller
from Eli Roth, now fully
entrenched in Chile. There
are moments which work
better than others and I'm
not fully convinced of the
intentions of the two
girls who always seem to
be 5 steps ahead of
everything that was thrown
in front of them,
particularly the scene
with the art dealer which
actually feels off-kilter
with the rest of the
movie. Eli Roth movies
always leave me feeling
like something is missing,
that he's always holding
back something even when
showing extreme violence.
Knock Knock is no
exception to that rule.
