This Keanu Reeves freak show has its moments but at face value, knock knock is a severely over-the-top horror/thriller that almost tries too hard to be smart.

Knock Knock is the first Eli Roth film that I have ever seen and its almost hard to explain it. This film is so over the top, the story is crazy and so are the performances. It is almost into its so bad its good territory. I don't think thisKnock Knock is the first Eli Roth film that I have ever seen and its almost hard to explain it. This film is so over the top, the story is crazy and so are the performances. It is almost into its so bad its good territory. I don't think this is a role for Keanu Reeves, he seems so out of place here. I think the two girls in the film do a good job, but this film is just so ridiculous that instead of being scary its almost hilarious and I'm assuming that it is supposed to be that way. I don't think that this movie is for everyone but I'm sure that there are lots of people out there who will get a kick out of it.… Expand

Another flick that sets in an isolated place with the limited cast. A low budget film, which was a remake of the 'Death Game'. After playing a strong character in his previous film, Keanu Reeves is back exactly opposite to that one. Yep, remember what happened to the two men who break-in into his house in 'John Wick', but here it is like what if he's not able to handle them or to do anything about it kind of Circumstance.

He played a normal family guy, a father of two children with a beautiful wife and a big house. The trailer itself revealed half of what the movie's. But the rest of the film is not bad at all, and that does not count as I'm praising it. The movie was average because of the writing was too loose. Not only predictable, but aimlessly moved and the motives were never explained. So the mystery remains mystery.

It was one of those films that leaves behind us to suspect the possibilities. A broad open for a sequel, but likely there's very less chance for another film. The girls were so good looking and performed well. The theme aimed for erotic-crime-thriller, but did it achieved? I don't know, the original was released in the 70s, which might have been too sexy for that time, but in the present world, it is not that special or effective, just like 'I Spit on Your Grave'. You could watch it to enjoy your moment, but it would be a cinematically impressive with the great writings, actings, with twists and turns and all.

Knock Knock is absurdly over the top though it has its fun moments. Every character in this film dials the craziness up to ten. I realize this is what Eli Roth was going for but it is just to much to recommend. C+

It's like Gremlins, but only not funny, not at all. Well, maybe just a little at the ending.

Nach der Menschenfresser-Hommage The Green Inferno wendet sich Roth in der Home-Invasion-Variante Knock Knock einem anderen bekannten Thema zu. Architekt Evan bleibt das Wochenende daheim, während sich die Familie am Strand sonnt. Zum Arbeiten kommt er jedoch nicht, denn plötzlich stehen zwei vom Regen durchnässte Mädels in der Tür – und bevor das rettende Taxi kommt, landet man sich windend in Bad und Bett. Der Morgen ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht: Die zu völligen Psychopathinnen mutierten Girls wollen nicht gehen und nehmen Evan die Designer-Butze auseinander – und bei Sachschäden bleibt es nicht. Ziemlich frech schnappt sich Eli Roth den Plot von Death Game und die Psychospielchen von Funny Games und Hard Candy, nutzt aber statt Subtilität stets den Holzhammer. Doch das holprige Drehbuch, hölzerne Dialoge und ein wirklich mieser Keanu Reeves ändern nichts daran, dass Knock Knock als trashiger Thriller einen Riesenspaß macht.… Expand

The antagonists are very sinister and act well, minus a few hiccups. However, the protagonist and deuteragonist on the other hand convey poorly at times. The crisis the protagonist finds himself in is intriguing, but some of the plot devices against him are too convenient and severely contrived. As a result, this makes me struggle to sympathise with him. Overall, Knock Knock boasts impressive potential with its thought-provoking plot, demonstrating how powerful young girls can be to anyone. But their hard work becomes undone by irritating plot devices which exist merely to shift the plot forward. Should a sequel be in the works, the script must be further scrutinised to make things a bit more believable.… Expand

Why this guy bothers with movies where he has to actually talk, I'll never know. Stick to action movies where you only speak with guns and karate kicks, and you'll continue to do just fine, Mr. Wick. Seriously, he's a great action star!

That being said, I'd watch Ana de Armas fold socks... all day long.… Expand

The film centers around a man named EvanEli Roth's 'Knock Knock' can be enjoyed on a "so-bad-it's-good" level. This is the kind of film that has an interesting premise, but it does get lost in its own ludicrous and obnoxious execution. The film centers around a man named Evan (Keanu Reeves), who is happily married and has two young children. He works as an architect and during a father's day weekend, his family decide to hit the beach while he has the house all to himself to focus on his work. During that first rainy night, he hears a knock on his door, he answers it to see two estranged young girls, soaking in the rain, Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bell (Ana De Armas) who claim to be heading to some party and are lost along the way. Being the good guy that he is, Evan decides to welcome them into his home and help them out with their situation. The girls seem to really like Evan and he shows them around while they wait. Little does he know that things start to get somewhat suspicious as he finds them in the shower and they try to seduce him, he tries to resist, but ultimately gives in. The next morning, he finds the two girls disrupting his peaceful weekend alone. They mess around and even begin to act with over-the-top results. It becomes clear to him that they were not who they claim they were. He tries to get rid of them, but they soon come back to play some sadistic games with Evan as their victim. As I said before, the movie does tell an interesting story, even for one made by typical gore master, Eli Roth. The gender politics story does contain some commentary about the reactionary differences between our characters as well as the punishment for what our main character has to face, even though he did nothing wrong. It still has that sadistic edge that Roth is known for. The main problem with the movie does fall in the sense that its interesting message gets lost in a campy and sometimes horribly acted result, even the lines of dialogue can be ridiculous. Keanu Reeves - at times - was channeling Nicolas Cage's performance, specifically, from 'The Wicker Man' (2006), the over-the-top shouting, as well as becoming a victim to women. You'll enjoy this movie on the same level as 'The Wicker Man' (2006) or maybe 'The Room' (2003), other than that, it tells a very known message, but maybe, it could have been handled by a more dramatically capable director.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie has a lot of ups and downs, so it all evens out in the end for me. All I can say is that this was a very enjoyable movie to watch, but at a certain point you just don't care anymore because the two home-invaders are always seemingly three steps ahead of everyone. That's exciting in the beginning, but just plain annoying in the end, where the movie just stops with Evan's wife entering the house. There's no redemption, no justice, not even the consequences for Evan are shown, the movie just avoids every sort of interesting conflict in the end, which makes it very disappointing all around.… Expand

I get the movie. The movie is just not that good. It's pretty much a soft core bad porn movie.
