So I rented Eli Roth’s (other) new 2015 movie Knock Knock… a sordid and kind of campy erotic suspense film starring Keanu Reeves as a happily married man who, while alone on father’s day, answers the front door to find two hot 20 somethings needing help. Oh can they use the phone? And can they use the dryer, their clothes are just so wet…. oh, you must work out… etc. After he succumbs to their feminine wiles, they then proceed to torment him by being the world’s worst house guests, trashing his house, threatening to tell his wife, claiming they are 15 (will get you 30!), and generally just being teeny bopper versions of Fatal Attraction. Poor Keanu Reeves and his meme-worth freakout about “Free pizza”.

This flick is just sordid bits of corniness and camp. It actually starts out fairly well and the first 30 minutes are kind of fun as you watch the not-at-all-intended-to-be-some-dude’s-fantasy seduction…. but once things go wrong, the movie doesn’t have enough filler for the next hour’s worth of tormenting Keanu Reeves.

So, yeah, it’s a mildly and intentionally depraved little domestic horror movie that runs out of steam real fast… unless you are having fun laughing at Keanu Reeves losing his cool. Which he does. A lot. Not sure if intentional, but pretty funny.

Score: 72
