Dare I say it, but doesnвЂ™t that put it somewhere in the vicinity of a feminist film? Bel and Genesis are on a campaign to avenge all the victimized wives and children of adulterous men: they are acting for others-acting for women. Because Bel and Genesis arenвЂ™t exacting revenge for injuries they have suffered (as in those classic revenge horror films, Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave ). Knock Knock is also, though, a revenge film-and this is where I think it gets really interesting.

Not least, in a sub-genre in which the invaders are overwhelmingly male, Roth makes his female-and they are unafraid to use any of the tools in their considerable arsenal.

ItвЂ™s a genre IвЂ™ve never been a particular fan of, but Roth definitely does some interesting things with it. Like Death Game, Knock Knock is firmly in the home invasion sub-genre-evoking Michael HanekeвЂ™s Funny Games (1997). Knock Knock is based on a 1977 film called Death Game (Peter S. They want to lure Evan into having sex with them-and then they want to punish him for it. The two twenty-something young women of RothвЂ™s film have something else in mind than love, marriage, and babies. Genesis and Bel, it turns out, have not the slightest interest in a relationship with Evan-unlike the ill-fated Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) in her inexplicable pursuit of the slimy Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas). In fact, the film is interesting when it becomes clear itвЂ™s not Fatal Attraction. I went into Knock Knock expecting it to be a version of Fatal Attraction (Adrian Lyne, 1987)-which itвЂ™s not. I get how someone could feel that way about Knock Knock, but then horror films are supposed to push peopleвЂ™s buttons-and вЂњdownright disgustingвЂќ is a phrase that signals thereвЂ™s probably something interesting going on. She writes that she considers the film вЂњfrontrunner for the worst film of 2015вЂќ and that itвЂ™s вЂњdownright disgusting.вЂќ Revenge Honey of The Horror Honeys launches an angry attack on the politics of the film, and she nails its more objectionable qualities-its racism and homophobia as well as the way it can certainly be viewed as making a mockery of child abuse. Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana de Armas) arrive at the doorД®li RothвЂ™s Knock Knock has been receiving mostly dismal reviews, as well as a few more outraged assessments.
