I can't explain how frustrating and simply bad this movie is. It is bad because it's frustrating. Not in a way compared to other frustrating but good movies, it's just plain stupid... Feel bad for Keanu

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was a dumb but somewhat entertaining thriller and then just left the viewer hanging at the end. The whole plot of the two girls made no sense and no attempt was made to explain their behaviour. Reeves's character was unbelievably stupid the whole time. When he managed to escape from being tied to the bed, he could have tied up the one girl and then taken the other out. Neither one of them could have weighed more than 100 pounds. Don't waste your time with this.… Expand

I haven't been seeing people explain why this is such a terrible movie, but here is my reasoning as to why this movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I love Keanu Reeves, but why would he even accept to be in this utter trash pile? Not only is this movie unrealistic to the fullest, but it's actually supporting the toxic ideology that men cant be r*ped, or taken advantage of, by women. It's making the women seem like their actions are in the right when they're the ones that decided to spy on Evan, Keanu Reeves, and take advantage of him. They are not morally in the right and the fact Eli Roth makes it seem like they are is extremely dangerous. The predictability and acting are terrible, even Keanu was not good, and, as I mentioned before, it is very unrealistic. You will never ever convince me that a person who is Keanu's size can not physically dominate 2 people as small and weak as the girls in this movie. Even if a person Keanu's size was hit unexpectedly in the head by these girls and tied up, they would not, realistically, cry, plead and whine the entire time. It angered me that Keanu accepted to play such a pitiful character because realistically a person like Keanu would end up finding a way out and would end up killing these girls. That's why it's shocking that they ended the movie with these girls winning. There was absolutely no plot. All they did was relay a clear message that these girls were the "good people" in this movie. Also, the scene when Louis comes in, the guy picking up Evan's wife's sculpture, and finds Evan tied up, was stupid and it seemed to just downplay a man's intelligence. Because realistically no one would care about a sculpture being damage more than a literal person tied up and visibly cut. He left Evan still tied up because he was more concerned about an object... That would never happen. This movie would have been immensely better if Keanu actually escaped, even after being tortured quite a bit, and killed those 2 women. Instead, they clearly wanted to promote misandry and sexism. I am convinced whoever wrote this script is either unethical beyond belief or they're intellectually slow and don't know how to make a movie.… Expand

Knock Knock is a boring, try-hard thriller movie that instead of having you at the edge of your seat, your comfortable, relaxed, and in most cases, asleep. Do not pay to see this movie!

When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse.When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse.

More like Cat and Cat, the mouse had no role other than to prove what meat looks like. By the end of Knock Knock with Keanu reeves i wanted to rip my face off and throw it at the girls on screen.

If that was the intention of Director Eli Roth, he did a great job. However, I also want the last hour and a half of my life back.
SPOILERS

Watching two girls come into a good mans home and basically rape him and then destroy everything he has worked so hard for, was not my idea of fun. I wanted so badly for the two little psychos to be destroyed towards the end and no. They get away and nothing is served and thus, the entire movie made no sense what so ever.

END SPOILERS

It Proved no purpose and probably did to Keanu Reeves what these girls did to his character in the film... Took almost everything that made him good again in John Wick and left him defenseless and me wondering if i should even bother with whatever he does next.

Try to steer clear of this filth! No matter how great the marketing made it look. An extra point score only because Keanu Couldn't escape this mess.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sex.
There, now that I've got your attention, let's be honest here- we all watch this for the sex. And the whole 2 minutes of sex was great! Tickled my tutu and I couldn't look away (Boobs).
However, Reeves was so unsaturated this entire film! It was so awkward to watch the moment the kids entered the scene, I knew this was going to be horrible. I enjoy Keanu Reeves! Hello? Neo Anderson? John Constantine? John Wick? Kai? Klaatu? Alex Wyler? Those are all some good flicks. But this was just a couple of chicks (wicked as they come) making a mess out of someone's house, just because. Also, I honestly don't know why art was such a big part of the film... It went no where. Just a story filler I guess. The whole film is based on a 48 hour span of nothingness. Reeves' Character Evan is some kind of awkward. Kind of like he doesn't know how to use his manhood. (Who would after being deprived of sex for 3 weeks-poor guy, hah). And WHAT IS WITH HIS DOGS ALWAYS BEING SCREWED OVER.
Is my review a little all over the place, null of story, and boring? And where the only part that catches your attention is the sex in the beginning?
Thaaaaats exactly how the flick is.
PS- if you're gonna take the time to watch it, I suggest bringing your phone or iPad so your not bored wink emoticon… Expand

Even after overlooking the spectacularly wooden performance of Keanu Reeves, the first twenty is genuinely quite suspenseful, as you've no idea where the plot is going to go. Unfortunately, it emerges, neither do the filmmakers. What followsEven after overlooking the spectacularly wooden performance of Keanu Reeves, the first twenty is genuinely quite suspenseful, as you've no idea where the plot is going to go. Unfortunately, it emerges, neither do the filmmakers. What follows is an inexplicably stupid parody of 2005's Hard Candy, rather than an a geuinenly scary gore-fest that Eli Roth is known for. Instead, we get an hour and a half of painful cackling, cringe-worthy dialogue, false moral dilemmas and a story so beyond laughable that I was genuinely rooting for the protagonist to die, simply so the film would finally end.

Eli Roth seems to be bored of torturing the characters in his films, and has instead turned his sadistic streak onto his audiences, for all the wrong reasons. And trust me, by the end of it, you'll be begging it to stop.… Expand

My one complaint about Cabin is the cheap joke at the end, calling back an earlier scene (the "my **** line). And he does the same here, with a cheap callback joke as the final line. Why Roth decided to reboot an old 30 plus year old C-movie that starred Colleen Camp, Sandra Locke (both producers here) and Seymour Cassell is anyone's guess. Unless he was intrigued by the standard universal theme of temptation and it's results. Knock Knock starts well, setting up the family dynamic, although Reeves just can't pull off warm and cuddly Daddy. Spending Father's Day alone working, while wife and kids are away, a couple of young, nubile, and wet (of course it's a dark and stormy night) ladies come knocking at his door. Reeves tries to be gentlemanly, moving to a single chair, everytime the ladies get too close. But little Keanu gets the best of him, and he beds both of them. This is where the movie becomes the "from hell" sub genre thriller. You know the "from hell" genre...the husband from hell, the roommate from hell, the TEMP from hell, etc.etc. The ladies, Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas, work on destroying Reeves from that point. And the movie goes completely off the rails. Game show parody, paper mached corpse, torture by volume...and a scene where Reeves loses it that has to be seen to be believed. I think Roth told him just to go bat shirt crazy...And the ladies, tho attractive as can be, are more annoying than menacing. I never thought or felt they were truly dangerous. And the acting. There are times that I thought I was watching a bad SNL skit. If this is the indication of Roth's career, no Taratino connection is going to keep him from a career of direct-to-DVD releases.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was going to give the movie a 1 but I couldn't bring myself to do so. My only guess as to why this movie is rated as good as it is is due to the nudity of the young ladies and Keanu Reeves. Besides that, I can't imagine why this movie got such high ratings. The movie explains little to nothing as to why the characters are in the situation they are in, nor does it give much background behind the characters, not even the antagonists who are supposed to be OH so important. Considering the lengths at which they go to for, yet another, fairly unexplained reason. Besides the setting, the actions the character takes are simply convenient for the sake of plot development, and fairly inaccurate to the perception we are given from the character's various other actions up until the point they do something completely unexpected of their personality.… Expand

Seduce and betray hilarity ensues but film falls between two stools: either it has to be a) genuinely terrifying but it isn't: critical lost beat there: the cutsey mutt Monster survives the invasion of the estrogen snatchers his adorable puppienss intact or b) genuinely comic: it has to be aware of its own ironic/subversive intentions and establish a comic rhythm and timing: but it can't. Reviewers have been unkind to the two lead actresses and their take on jail bait from hell--but they do what they can given Eli Roth's hand's off direction. Reeve's performance is the weak link. His wooden stolidity helps in setting himself up as the repressed pseudo-hip square stuck on his decades old self-image as a cool daddy hipster; but as the film drags on his stuck in neutral awkwardness offers nothing below the textual surface for the girls to play off of--there's no emotional subtext interaction behind the cliched motivations hard wired into the script. At the end the final line spoken fails as a comic payoff and echoes off as a receding non-sequittur into the credits.

Nice cinematography and tracking given the one-set location.… Expand

I honestly could not say that Knock Knock is a horror movie, it is more a psychological thriller smeared with violence, in the style of Funny Games, although of course it is unfair to compare them, Funny Games is much more visceral.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is possibly the worst Netflix movie I have ever seen. I give it one point because the girls are sexy, especially Bell. The rest is drek. I lost count of the number of times Keanu Reeves could have overpowered these two skinny girly-girls and gotten out of his predicament. At one point he is taken down by a dinner fork to his upper pectoral and subdued. By a 115 pound chick. Yes, you heard that right. I won't even mention the other ridiculous moments where his character responds so pathetically when opportunity arises that you stop rooting for him. The plot is so poorly written, they had to build plot armor around the two female sociopath antagonists by having Keanu's character repeatedly fail in the lamest of ways. Add to that the horribly written dialogue, where Keanu is still trying to morally defend himself late in the story to a couple of giggling and deranged psychos, the fact that these girls convince Keanu that they're underage after sleeping with him, when they are clearly in their twenties, and scenes of them gleefully trashing the house like a couple of cheerleaders on crack, and you have a very bad comedy posing as a thriller. The scene with a would-be rescuer had me watching dumbfounded at its stupidity at how they got the better of him, not to mention how he inexplicably stops untying Keanu halfway through to confront the girls alone. Then we see the girls dig a professional-looking rectangular hole in the backyard nearly six feet deep using two shovels and their spindly arms. They must really work out. Of course we find out at the end that these girls do this home invasion to married men all over, and somehow manage to get away with it despite leaving a trail of destruction and even bodies in their wake, along with a weak jab at the male patriarchy that the guys have this coming for being such pervs that when naked twenty-somethings start groping them, the guy stops resisting. We never learn what motivates these girls and why they feel the need to punish husbands and fathers, only that the blonde one has clear daddy issues. To even suggest that this is a "pyschological" thriller when the psychological component is so poorly developed is an insult to psychological thrillers. This movie might have worked if it made fun of itself and was deliberately campy, like the entertaining Babysitter films, but it doesn't. From the bad writing, poorly scripted action, and sketchy moral message, Knock Knock fails on every level.… Expand
