A guy’s wife and kids have left the house for the weekend. On a dark and stormy night, a pair of pert coeds knock on his door in search of a refuge from the rain. He’s a little uncomfortable, but allows them entry in an effort to be a good Samaritan to these weary travelers. They peel off their dripping clothes and slip into a pair of fluffy bathrobes. Inevitably, they invite themselves to take a hot, steamy shower, and need the dude to come in and hand them their clothes. Cue wah-wah guitar, right?

Wrong! Eli Roth’s new film Knock Knock only behaves like a porno in its first act, before pivoting into something much more grim. Wholesome Dad Keanu Reeves really does intend on staying faithful to his wife, and the degree to which the girls aggressively seduce him looks like it might cross the line into rape. But that’s only the beginning, as his transgression gives way to a night of terrors in which the girls wreak violent revenge on him for stepping out on his absent spouse. This one looks certifiably insane, y’all:

Knock Knock looks like a fusion of Skinemax and Haneke’s Funny Games, but Roth’s concept is actually an update of a 1977 sexploitation film called Death Game. Knock Knock has something Death Game did not, however, and that is human manifestation of screen presence Keanu Reeves. The Keanussaince kicks into high gear with Knock Knock, as Reeves attempts to redeem his John Wick character by keeping his beloved French bulldog alive in Roth’s film. Listen to the way he says “Chocolate with sprinkles!” He knows exactly what he’s doing.
