Peter S. Traynor’s 1977 Death Game isn’t very good, but the conceit is pretty punishing, which makes it ripe for a remake.
Eli Roth is taking a stab at telling the story of two seductresses who have sex with and thus torment a married man on one fateful evening.
We now have the full trailer for Roth’s Knock Knock (read our review), opening in limited theaters and On Demand October 9th, 2015 via Lionsgate Premiere.
In the trailer, the absolutely gorgeous Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas knock on the door of Keanu Reeves, who is alone for the evening. The beautiful girls seduce him, turning a quick use of this man’s phone into a threesome from hell. He’s tied up and tortured as these girls turn the tables on him, setting up a sexy, tense thriller from the director of Cabin Fever, Hostel and the upcoming The Green Inferno.
If Roth can take what Death Game had to offer and up the ante, I think we’re in for a nasty new horror classic.
“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, ‘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.“
Aaron Burns, Ignacia Allamand, and Colleen Camp also star in Knock Knock.
