Review of Knock Knock (2015) by Imtheonlytye — 10 Jan 2021

I rewatched this movie because I thought I liked it, but after watching it again I remembered that I hated it. I haven't been seeing people explain why this is such a terrible movie, but here is my reasoning as to why this movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I love Keanu Reeves, but why would he even accept to be in this utter trash pile? Not only is this movie unrealistic to the fullest, but it's actually supporting the toxic ideology that men cant be r*ped, or taken advantage of, by women.

It's making the women seem like their actions are in the right when they're the ones that decided to spy on Evan, Keanu Reeves, and take advantage of him. They are not morally in the right and the fact Eli Roth makes it seem like they are is extremely dangerous.

The predictability and acting are terrible, even Keanu was not good, and, as I mentioned before, it is very unrealistic. You will never ever convince me that a person who is Keanu's size can not physically dominate 2 people as small and weak as the girls in this movie.

Even if a person Keanu's size was hit unexpectedly in the head by these girls and tied up, they would not, realistically, cry, plead and whine the entire time. It angered me that Keanu accepted to play such a pitiful character because realistically a person like Keanu would end up finding a way out and would end up killing these girls.

That's why it's shocking that they ended the movie with these girls winning. There was absolutely no plot. All they did was relay a clear message that these girls were the "good people" in this movie.

Also, the scene when Louis comes in, the guy picking up Evan's wife's sculpture, and finds Evan tied up, was stupid and it seemed to just downplay a man's intelligence. Because realistically no one would care about a sculpture being damage more than a literal person tied up and visibly cut.

He left Evan still tied up because he was more concerned about an object... That would never happen. This movie would have been immensely better if Keanu actually escaped, even after being tortured quite a bit, and killed those 2 women.

Instead, they clearly wanted to promote misandry and sexism. I am convinced whoever wrote this script is either unethical beyond belief or they're intellectually slow and don't know how to make a movie.
