![]() If what the police did is proven as entrapment no matter what the criminal may have done they're still free to go. If the police did what they did to Evan it's called entrapment and if I'm not mistaken it's illegal. Yes he could have said no to their seduction but that would be like offering a starving animal its favorite food and when the animal eats it all torturing it for doing so. Whenever they accuse Evan Webber ( Keanu Reeves) of seducing them, taking advantage of them, of adultery and being a pedophile their reason are ridiculous. The girls just spout a bunch of gibberish to fill the silence. And when it comes to movies like these you're not really expecting a really good, deep and thought provoking script either which in this case none of what I just said applies. I expect predictability in movies these days. It's a simple story, a simple premise so of course it's going to be predictable but that's not the problem. ![]() © LionsgateĪnyway, let me begin by saying I was not at all impressed with this film. They're of course very appreciative of the robes and story time and want to show their appreciation but Evan is a little uncomfortable. Okay maybe I did give away the story and gave up some spoilers. They eventually have enough of their fun when he's willing to admit to their crazy claims and is willing to repeat and admit it all to his wife but knowing that he'd take the opportunity to ask his wife for help during the call they instead post a video of him having sex with them on his facebook page. Being the nice guy he is of course he helps although reluctantly at first but then things soon become weird as the young women soon begin to seduce him and after seducing him begin to go crazy accusing him of pedophilia, adultery and tying him up and torturing him. It's basically about a guy whose family leaves him alone for the weekend and when he's all by himself a couple of young and attractive women knock on his door looking for a little help. So what's Knock Knock all about? Well, I'm not going to bore you with a recap and I'm not going to be spilling the beans and give you all the spoilers. So he gives them robes to wear after they take off their wet clothes and reads a story to them. Also comparing his previous work and the genre he's most associated with to Knock Knock, Knock Knock has a distinct lack of blood and gore, not a dismembered limb in sight. That being said I've not seen his hostel films and am not a fan of that particular genre. Eli Roth is also known for his role as Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009). You don't need to know about all of them to figure out the type of movie they all make, as long as you know what Saw is like and about you'll get the type of film that they're all popular for. Directed by Eli Roth who gained fame after directing horror films Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007), both films were so explicitly violent and bloody that he earned membership in a group of filmmakers dubbed the Splat Pack whose other members include the members responsible for the Saw franchise ( James Wan, Darren Lynn Bousman), Robert Rodriguez, Rob Zombie and Alexandre Aja. So Knock Knock a film that is reportedly an update of a 1977 film titled Death Game that basically had the same plot. What's a man who hasn't had sex in about a month to do? Especially if he's a nice guy. These two show up at his doorstep soaking wet and claiming they're lost. I think I would have had more fun watching Asterix and Obelix. Not that I trust IMDB all that much but still it had a higher rating that a film with a well known actor in the cast. But I was still torn between the two because when I looked at the ratings for the two films on IMDB the cartoon that came out last year had a higher rating. ![]() So I chose the film that many had yet to see for the purposes of my blog. Those that were would have probably seen the film by now. Secondly, on the day that I had preview passes to watch Knock Knock I also had passes to watch Astérix: Le domaine des dieux (Asterix and Obelix: Mansion of the Gods) (2014) but that film had been out a year and I doubt many would be looking for a review on it. Okay, so this review was supposed to have come out after Regression but before Pan because that's the order I watched it in but since Knock Knock had a limited release worldwide and had already played in some countries as early as June I figured it could wait and in fact in only opens in the US on the 9th which still gives me time to put in my two cents before it opens. I had two movies to pick from and I chose this one. This is Evan Webber, he used to be a DJ but then changed careers to become an architect. © Lionsgate
