After taking a break from directing for a few years, Eli Roth is coming back in a big way this fall, and he's bringing two very different kinds of horror with him. The first is the grisly vacation thriller, The Green Inferno, which opens in September. And then a few weeks later he's back the Funny Games-esque film, Knock Knock, led by Keanu Reeves in a change-of-pace role.
A new trailer for Knock Knock places Reeves in an interesting twist on the usual home invasion movie. He plays a family man home alone while the wife and kids are away, who makes the mistake of giving in to his deepest desires with two beautiful but dangerous young women. Here's the official synopsis:
When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse. A sexy new thriller from director Eli Roth and written by Eli Roth, Nicolás López and Guillermo Amoedo, KNOCK KNOCK stars Keanu Reeves as the family man who falls into temptation and Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas as the seductresses who wreak havoc upon his life, turning a married man’s dark fantasy into his worst nightmare.
Co-starring Lorenza Izzo, Ana de Armas, Ignacia Allamand, Aaron Burns and Colleen Camp, Knock Knock hits theaters and VOD on October 9th.
