Knock Knock Review

If 50 Shades Of Grey opened the door to the return of the sexploitation movie, Eli Roth’s latest thriller is more Fatal Attraction than E. L. James’ 9 1/2 Weeks-style take. Cast perfectly against type, Keanu Reeves stars as Evan, a likable suburban dad whose work commitments prevent him joining his wife and kids on a weekend away. Late at night, two beautiful femmes fatales — Bel (Ana de Armas) and Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) — ring the doorbell, claiming to be lost. Following some initial flirting from the women (bending over provocatively, waxing lyrical about Evan’s vinyl collection) the scene is set for a raunchy game of cat and mouse, with Keeves as the adorably incredulous prey and Roth trading gore for suspense as playful seduction leads to armageddon.
