Knock Knock is a 2014 U.S./Chilean horror thriller directed by Eli Roth (Hostel and its sequel; The Green Inferno) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Guillermo Amoedo and Nicolás López. It stars Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo, Ana de Armas, Ignacia Allamand and Aaron Burns.
The film, which is currently in post-production, is a loose remake of co-executive producer Peter S. Traynor’s Death Game (1977). Sondra Locke, who starred in the original, is a co-executive producer, whilst co-producer Colleen Camp, who also starred in the original, has a cameo role in Roth’s movie. It will premiere in the Midnight Section at The Sundance Film Festival in January 2015.
Confusingly, before shooting began, Roth told IGN that his inspiration for Knock Knock came from the early work of “Roman Polanski or Paul Verhoeven” and that he wants to make “a classic psychosexual thriller that’s not a horror movie, but would have everyone on the edge of their seats.”
