Instead, we have one death that is minor and Keanu even makes it all the way to the end, and the girls get no comeuppance either. This has to be one of Roth's more gutless films, we've grown accustomed to his brutal gore and violence, but this one is surprisingly void of that. So, with that extremely subtle set up, Keanu is left home alone when his family goes on a trip without him (for some reason), and the movie actually starts. They also introduce us to the family dog (who somehow makes it to the end) and to a VERY IMPORTANT WORK OF ART THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT (which is smashed with hammers, obviously). We start the movie having Keanu Reeve's being a "family man" shoved into our faces for an unbearably long time as we take a tour of his house, which is plastered with photos of the family, evidence of children and family is practically wallpaper in this house, and then we see Keanu and his wife have an attempt to have sex interrupted by this extremely loving children who have prepared a cake for father's day, and they all spend a solid 15 minutes of the movie talking about FATHER'S DAY, and LOVING DADDY, AND HOORAY FOR DAD ETC ETC, until you feel like you just might throw up. So, what about this one? It's not good, at all. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, or maybe I just like spreading the Eli Roth is not very good gospel to anyone who will listen. Ever since Hostel and Cabin Fever I've found his films to border on the unwatchable, and yet I watched this one (and fully plan to watch Green Inferno), knowing that I wasn't likely to enjoy them.

Knock Knock isn't at all a pleasurable movie, and due to the sympathy we'll have for the target of the torment, it's best left avoided for audiences entering the story already feeling angry. Although the power of this movie is appreciable, it's really unfair power. So unless you're feeling ready to spend 98 minutes watching an innocent man's life being ruined, simply avoid this one. Seriously, a sequel of justice and revenge is needed for the audiences without a single question. But what is good about the movie? The fact that it's engaging enough to drag you out and supply you with horrible feelings is indeed fairly powerful, but Knock Knock would only be likeable if justice was included. It's enough to enrage all audiences and we demand a revenge sequel immediately! Keanu Reeves stars in the film as a hopeless victim of infuriating torture to leave you unsatisfied and angry at an extreme level. No one wants to watch that film.ĭirected by Eli Roth, Knock Knock is nothing other than a horrible home invasion story of torture and vandalism. Moral of the story Movie script writers- don't make a movie with the good guy is kicked and stomped on and the bad guys just get away. The girls were annoying, loud, crazy, psychopaths. He didn't deserve everything that happened). Maybe if Keanu Reeves character was actually a bad person, then yea this movie would work, BUT NO, he was a good person on the most part (sure he cheated, but he didn't go out of his way to cheat. It made me give this movie a 4/10 because its so frustrating and unsatisfying. I really wanted the girls to be dealt with and I really hate that they just walked away. I hated this film, because it made me cringe. Also if Keanu Reeves was a bad "dad" and person as they suggest, why did they ruin all his WIFES art, I get why they would destroy his music but why all his WIFES and innocent children's things and write curse words over his children's pictures. He probably fell because he couldn't breath. Although it's meant to come across as "not their fault, he fell", they knew he had asthma, took his pump, made him need it, and jump for it. What really bugged me about the movie though, is #spoiler alert# if they weren't planning on killing Keanu Reeves, why did they purposefully kill the friend. He gets all John Wick on the intruders and gives the little cows what they deserve. The movie would have been a lot better if after he is left to be found. I am just not satisfied with this ending. As another poster said, I really want a revenge sequel. Second, the movie shows he has a injured shoulder so would be weaker around the girls. I could feel what he was going through and hence made me hate the film. I could feel his pain through the screen and the torture he was going through. First off - Anyone that says Keanu Reeves can not act, is just being rude. I actually liked the movie, but at the same time I really hated it.
