Midnight Screenings - Knock Knock

Another Eli Roth film this year, lets see how this goes.

[@JudasPriest9878]

"Eli Roth is the Adam Sandler of horror movies" That is the best description of Eli Roth I have ever heard

[@TheZipperDragon]

Give Sandler some credit, at least he makes the movies he wants to make, even if they ARE all vanity projects. The only thing you can really hate about his production company is that he keeps Rob Schnider in work.

[@TheCrazyHedgehogLady]

Rob Holy shit dude, HE IS. Good call. 😆

[@JustinCoasters]

I don't think Adam Sandler uses the Words "Gay" and "Retarded" as much

[@KiraMustDie26]

Home invasion? Wrecking the house? Annoying people to death? Are you sure you guys didn't just watch The Cat in the Hat?

[@culwin]

+KiraMustDie26 Thing 1 and Thing 2 get all Hostel-y

[@DonPeyote420]

+KiraMustDie26 At least the cat didn't rape the children... Right? RIGHT???

[@nicholassims5366]

I've knock knock cat in the hat is slightly better

[@whatiftherewasanun]

I like to think the whole movie is just a metaphor for child rape.

[@Cinderella718]

Omg this movie was exactly that but with 2 horny girls.

[@scampoli25]

“Eli Roth stop writing words” Amazing. Couldn’t agree more, great review.

[@Agrellar]

True Story. I saw this movie in Utah during Sundance, and Eli Roth was there giving a big speech about how this movie was "popping his Sundance cherry," and at that moment I laughed on the outside, but inside I thought, "I wanna punch this guy." The movie made me laugh at how much stupid, contradicting bullshit filled every minute of the film, and all I wanted to do right when this was over was get the fuck out of there before the Q&A. So it was 1AM and my cab was late, and I kept thinking how much of a waste of time and money the night was... UNTIL I saw Norman "Fucking" Reedus in the parking lot. I did not approach him, because he was clearly tired and trying to get to his car, but for a moment we made eye contact, and that made the whole night worth this fucking movie's pain.

[@Horatio787]

You know what the weird thing is? If this movie was the first 20 minutes of a movie, then the rest of it was about the father getting through the aftermath of this experience and working out his problems with his wife. And then he finds the girls and murders them, then he has to deal with the aftermath of that and talk it out with his wife while he's in prison. It could be a really interesting analysis of thriller and revenge movies.

[@BodySprayMan]

+TheHoratiosvetlana Now you see, that would require thought and intelligence put into the movie. Clearly, Roth either has none or is not willing to put any into the film.

[@whatiftherewasanun]

So, just The Last House on the Left.

[@Able195]

An hour long Midnight Screening with disapproving Brad in the thumbnail? This is gonna be fun.

[@Tareltonlives]

The real horror is that Eli Roth has a career

[@Thex552]

MrFlipperInvader782 let me know wen he starts making movies first

[@CelticFrost1979]

@@Thex552 Hes been making movies since 2002. Maybe you are an idiot or something with that lame joke?

[@Natalie-qm3ys]

He started directing films in 2002, his first film being Cabin Fever

[@kamekadvance]

You know what's more aggravating than this movie? The positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

[@caterinagerbasi4237]

whats fun abt Eli Roth is that he really wants to call atention to his anti-pc attitude, but i have never seen no one write an article or an essay about how "bad antifeminist, racist or shitty" his movies are. hell i havent seen any outrage on social media about his movies. like, at the end of the day, no one gives a shit about Eli Roth movies. they only turn profit bc they are dirt cheap

[@turkishvan2]

+Pablo Gerbasi That's a good point. I used to hope people would call attention to the terrible implications of his movies, but maybe it's best to just not feed the troll

[@starfishery7805]

+turkishvan2 Honestly, I think it's working. I've only ever heard of Eli Roth from Cinema Snob. XD

[@DEFSeattle]

Wasn't hostel 2 given shit because it had women in it and there was a kind of "oh, they only care when it's women ghat are the victims" (referring to the lack of outrage to the first one) idk, I don't even remember where I heard that from

[@turkishvan2]

@@mrflipperinvader7922 Is it possible that things that don't matter to you matter to other people? Keep in mind it's not like I lay awake with rage every night. I didn't even remember making this comment until you replied to it.

[@turkishvan2]

@@mrflipperinvader7922 Of course there are bigger issues. If a magic genie told me I could either cure AIDS or get Eli Roth to stop his immature "I'm-not-touching-you" antics, I would choose the former. But in the real world, people can multitask. It takes very little energy to voice my concern with Eli Roth, so why not?

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

Brad, do you think Quentin Tarantino calls Eli Roth, starts laughing and hangs up.

[@silentjoe]

+Gerrold Lloyd Stolen!

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

+By Who

[@silentjoe]

No I'm saying your line was so funny I had to use it

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

I stole it from the James Franco Roast.

[@silentjoe]

Gerrold Lloyd lol I had a feeling

[@VSigma725]

I agree completely that a movie can be about an absolutely horrible person and still be enjoyable. American Psycho, anyone?

[@user-sg4rn8nb5h]

Devil's Rejects, Killer Joe, Funny Games, the list goes on

[@douglascampbell9479]

Exactly, even Goodfellas managed to be really good and it's all about the gangsters lifestyle and how they did horrible things.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

V. Sigma That sums up a shit ton of stories.

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

The movie needs to know and accept that they are horrible, instead of trying to explain the horrible traits away. Again, your example fits the bill.

[@halfdemonprince]

A Clockwork Orange

[@sagesledge2825]

Brad, I'd like to personally thank you for introducing me to Kirk Cameron's magnum opus, "Saving Christmas". Never have I been more baffled, perplexed, and slightly afraid, and it's all thanks to you.

[@DonPeyote420]

It's funnier if you watch it as a prequel to John Vick. Like, what made him like that.

[@ariesdemiurge]

+PufferBluntman The weird backstory of how he got raped.

[@theminuteman7611]

The alternate ending of knock knock kinda makes it seem like it was a prequel to John wick.

[@zomaru3]

With how you describe the ending of the original it would have been the perfect ending if they got hit by the wife coming home.

[@pompousproductions]

I saw this film in Ireland earlier this Summer. I Had no idea who Eli Roth was at the time, I just wanted to count how many times Reeves said "Woah". (27 Times by the way) I was mesmerized.I've been waiting since August for you guys to tear into this movie.

[@arizonatsunami]

At least out of this shit we get the legendary line "CHOCOLATE WITH SPRINKLES!!!!!!"

[@EternalBooda]

During this video, I was treated to an Oxy Clean commercial that shows how to remove blood stains. Because it's Brad's channel, I immediately thought it was going to turn into a snuff film.

[@VirtualBoy500]

I do believe we have a new record for longest Midnight Screenings video.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

+VirtualBoy500 Left Behind still has the record.

[@SsnakeBite]

+Stoned Gremlin Productions Which is very surprising considering you guys' opinion on it seemed to basically be "... heh".

[@SsnakeBite]

jockslap That's my point. They didn't hate it, they found it boring. Usually those are the really short ones.

[@CanadianVampireProd]

+SsnakeBite Draft Day was 50 minutes long and they found it amazingly boring

[@SsnakeBite]

Jack Rose Reviews Way to go back to a nearly year-old video to correct them about something that would happen in the future.

[@cosmosblue772]

I remember Eli Roth saying this movie is super feminist, because the girls are the perpetrators and that they punish men who are cheaters or something or whatever. Honestly Eli Roth has no idea what the word feminist means. I mean I'm not offended by the idea that the girls being tormentors, I'm offended that its just yet another movie where women use their sexuality to get what they want and basically it seems to boil down to them being in the right because a guy cheated. Sure a guy cheating is very bad, he is an asshole, but making him suffer they way they made him suffer, makes no sense. And really I feel like the movie is making the case that "bitches be crazy" or whatever, than being a "feminist" horror film. Also their actions make even less sense since they keep destroying the wife's possessions. I mean why destroy the wife's livelihood she didn't cheat on her husband with them. Sorry but the more I think about the intentions of these girls it makes so little sense....

[@eamon4800]

cosmosblue772 plus they let an innocent man die and later say they aren't monsters because they didn't kill keanu reeves character. I would like to think that the writing of these characters motivations being flawed was on purpose but I very much doubt it. I bet they thought they were writing characters that have a strict code.

[@Aoirann]

He didn't even cheat. They forced themselves on him.

[@SirBroadsword]

@Eamon McGillicuddy Exactly that. In no possible universe does a guy cheating even remotely begin to justify the assault and manslaughter of an innocent bystander. It's pure Protagonist Centered Morality, wherein killing somebody is considered a morally neutral act provided that they're a redshirt.

[@TheZipperDragon]

Eli Roth's connected universe, all centred around party cop.

[@DoubleAgents]

If you want a stereotypical "90s guy", what about Skeet Ulrich?

[@redactedredacted6656]

Brad vs the girls from Knock Knock would be the greatest duel ever.I'd pay to get that.Actually, it should be Brad and Brian vs the girls from Knock Knock to even it out a little.

[@musicsfan1]

Its a bad sign of how long I have been watching this show when I see an hour long review and at the same time get really happy and then be like oh that movie is gonna be shiiitt

[@kevinthepilgrim]

A crappy movie by Eli Roth?!? You're kidding!!

[@wolfwing1]

I hate it in movies when they could easily either kill, or at least knock the oponent out and they don't, the whole I hit him down okay run....NO kick him a few times to make sure if he gets up it's not for a bit.

[@lucian5304]

Can't wait for knock knock 2

[@snackers199]

If Eli Roth is the Adam Sandler of Horror movie directors, then who is the Tyler Perry of Horror movie directors?

[@devinbell4816]

There are no black horror directors. They always die early in production.

[@nustudragneel9192]

Snackers 199 😂😂😂 is would defiantly die in the first 2 months in production

[@whatiftherewasanun]

Paul W.S. Anderson. The Resident Evil movies are downright incompetent.

[@ssbbdudes]

Tyler Perry

[@Monkismo]

sounds a bit like "Kitten with a Whip" that was riffed by MST3K

[@brianstraight9308]

Huh, that's actually a decent comparison.

[@Aoirann]

Except Kitten with a Whip is somehow better.

[@Tareltonlives]

Oh my god that is absolutely true! Only this is even WORSE. At least there's this sense of pity for the characters in KWAW-only one's a real psycho

[@blakemeads9225]

I watched this movie with my buddy, and I agree that it's bad, but I found it insanely entertaining. I laughed so goddamn hard during this movie

[@eegah-taki1840]

that soccer movie united passions is the exact same way I remember watching the 1st half on netflix before going to bed, but when I tried to finish the rest of it, the credits were rolling & I realized I actually watched the whole thing just it had no ending

[@russellhannula9714]

Have to agree with you on MST3K's riff on Red Zone Cuba, one of their most entrancing episodes. Hell, all three of Coleman Francis' movies are morbidly fascinating. They're so rife with ineptitude, darkness, hatred, loose threads, odd tangents, and endless questions- literally, in the case of The Beast of Yucca Flats. "Flag on the moon. How did it get there?"

[@alextromagnetic]

I NEED TO SEE THIS

[@tomjackson6077]

I watched this movie today before watching this. This movie legitimately made me feel angry!

[@troin3925]

I haven't seen this movie, but from watching the trailers, there's something about those girls that makes me want to torture them through blind rage. Is that a normal reaction to seeing them, or is that just me?

[@radiofuel2733]

I'm really late here, but yeah, that's normal. The longer they were on screen, the angrier I got.

[@JesterNil]

Hostel's big line thing was definitely, "I'm the king of shwing!". Caught on for like...a month.

[@Hailfire131]

So, this isn't a good remake of "Kitten with a Whip"

[@jessediaz1293]

Or a good remake of "Little Miss Innocence".

[@noahhecker6672]

I loved this film. Most emotional I’ve ever seen Keanu reaves

[@troin3925]

25:08-25:12 Unfortunately, there still exist idiots (including cops), who don’t believe that men can be raped and that it’s humorous because “guys usually love sex.” I’m not kidding, Mr. Enter did interesting videos on this when he reviewed the Family Guy episode “Peter-assment,” and The Simpsons episode “Homer Badman,” as well as follow-ups to both videos.

[@swampthing94]

This film was hilarious

[@andrewblanchard2537]

better ending the 2 girls get on FLIGHT 180 from FINAL DESTINATION 1

[@TheZipperDragon]

Anyone else kinda want someone to make a movie like this, but make it a comedy? Like nothing really changes until they blackmail him, then the movie follows them as they repeatedly try & fail to get back at him. They go door to door, & no one believes them. Shit like that. I think with the right writer, it could be better than this movie.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

This is pretty much a comedy.

[@kingsac75]

Water....thirsty....sick man...

[@trevorhensley3185]

So it's a typical Eli Roth movie.

[@WilliamGarland]

This what Eli Roth thinks Feminists are.

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

FYI. That Miike movie you referenced was the first Dead or Alive flick.

[@TheLoverboyz901]

My defense of Eli Roth is not his writing but the kind of movies he makes. You just don't see cannibal movies anymore, and I am genuinely looking forward to when and if his Thanksgiving gets released/made.

[@SsnakeBite]

Yeah, about the defence that Roth's characters are supposed to be douchey... how is that supposed to be a good thing? Why should we give a fuck about anyting going on in the movie if we can't stand the main characters? And why the FUCK would you intentionally make your characters despicable? Seriously, what is the purpose there? What is that supposed to achieve?

[@AdamaGeist]

+SsnakeBite The purpose is so that you are engaged by them getting closer to death. It's the whole 'rooting for the bad guy' thing that started in a way with Nightmare on Elm Street. People wanted to see how Freddy killed people, so they made the characters less likable so people wouldn't feel guilty wanting to see them die. You can see that a lot in the Final Destination movies. Honestly tho? that's not even a defense. it's openly admitting your criticism is valid. 'Well, they're supposed to be unlikable!" Is no defense at all, it's admitting your criticism is entirely accurate.

[@SsnakeBite]

AdamaGeist The problem is I don't WANT to root for the bad guy, and I don't think most horror fans do, because the bad guy is still the bigger evil and if people start rooting for him, it just means he's either not threatening any more or you fucked up writing the heroes, usually both. If the victims are assholes and the villain is still, well, a killer, you have no-one to root for and you're just waiting for the movie to end in the vein hope that something interesting will eventually happen. I watch horror movies because I want to be horrified and because I want to see characters I can relate to overcome great dangers. A great example of that would Dr Gordon and Adam from Saw. They're in a situation they don't deserve, they're likeable and so you really want them to survive. And it's not like they're squeaky-clean either. You CAN write flawed characters without making them jackasses. And Hell, wanna make a movie where you root for the villain? Fine, but at least make the villain interesting or else it's just not gonna work. And the problem with Eli Roth is that even his villains are not interesting and they're annoying as fuck. It's always "I love torturing people. That is all".

[@AdamaGeist]

SsnakeBite It's an entirely terrible setup, that's without any doubt. I did think of the only way to really make it work tho. Make it damn obvious from the beginning that the 'victims' are irredeemably evil from the start, and the 'monster' is something after them because of what they've done. Thus making it something after revenge, and you WANT to see it kill them. Basically like The Crow, only seen from T-Bird's perspective.

[@TheZipperDragon]

"You can not bury yourself." -.- Challenge Accepted

[@KuronekoBonbon]

KEANU NO!

[@bijanthegr91]

First Off: Thinking back to the Back to the Future Trilogy, I felt severely let down when I lived to see 2015...I honestly thought we were gonna have Awesome Hoverbroads/Hover cars, Jaws 19 (though after Jaws Revenge, I didn't care much) and that awesome jacket and shoes that adjust the size to the wearer's size. Cubs winning? If it happens, it happens...So yeah, totally upsetting but hey...Maybe Marty & Doc sent us in an alternate 2015! 0_0 However this film? I'm just mad that Keanu actually took this role, and didn't have enough Star Power to walk off the set and told Eli Roth to go fuck himself. I know that 47 Ronin was Terrible, mostly with Historical accuracy and like Pan, Whitewash the role (Which I think is sorta debatable, because Keanu looks like he's Asian-ish? bur more Predominantly white? Feel free to correct me on this topic) but he totally rose up a few notches in John Wick, and proved his badassery. This? Seriously is he that Desperate for a paycheck? Then maybe he shouldn't have donated his money from The Matrix to the Special Effects crew, Sorry for being a Dick, but he shouldn't take roles like this. I haven't seen the original film, but from what you're telling me, it's God-awfully Annoying and not worth the price of admissions...Seriously...Keanu has been in better movies...Tell me Brad, Am I just gonna have to accept the fact Great Actors will take a Horrible role, in a Fucking ridiculous plot, despite them starring in Better movies? If Yes I'll just cry in corner quietly :'(

[@MarMotorbiker]

Guys, from that video you said to us that you liked a lot this movie, did you noticed that? Keep up the good work.

[@CommanderZx2]

I miss your 47 Ronin video, wish you would reupload it!

Well at least Ana de Armas was able to move on to bigger and better things after this movie at least.

[@zillafire101]

Um, doesn’t the video they posted to Facebook end with him attempting to escape?

[@stefanomusilli7001]

I remember watching Cabin Fever and being depressed. I was like "I have to watch something else today", so I watched Piranha 3D (that sucked ass), and I swear to god I didn't know Eli Roth was in there. Luckily he died really badly. On the other hand, I fucking love Hostel. It's a piece of shit, but it's a great guilty pleasure for me. Like, the bad guy dies because he steps on the protagonists' fingers? Fucking really? That movie was hilarious.

[@RichardWatt]

Better ending: the psycho girls are flight attendants, but they board a plane that starts a City of Fire-like scenario.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

There should be a HISHE for this movie. There would be at least twenty different endings.

[@danmanx4804]

Haha! Dead Or Alive reference!

[@OwlEye2010]

This movie sounds like Funny Games, but less competent and just as infuriating.

[@jlovebirch]

+Sambou Jaiteh -- That's what I thought from the trailer: a gender-flipped Funny Games (which has already been remade). Now I have to see Death Games.

The perfect ending. They get on a plane and it turns out, 9-11.

[@tomjackson6077]

How about they both get abducted by a pig mask, they wake up in an abandoned room wearing reverse bear traps (or any other death trap). The TV turns on showing Billy the Puppet saying “I want to play a game”.

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

Maybe not a badass like Keanu Reeves still looking like John Wick, maybe a chubby uncoordinated Jack Black or something. Wouldn’t make it a better movie, but it would be less frustrating as to why John Wick doesn’t just unleash the beast on these fools

Watching the 2017 "10 Worst" sent me down the rabbit hole of KZbin suggestions where I watched some previous "Worst Of" videos in past years one of them being from last year about the 2015 movies, and the mentions of this movie sending me to this review; and seeing/hearing their reactions to it. So, being a fan of shitty movies, I watched this movie on Amazon Prime/streaming and.... Ugh. This movie was just a hot mess. But it was hard to not find it sort of a "fun" mess.

Also the main villains are annoying also brad great describe of this movie. I also seen this pile of trash unfortunately. I totally feel brad completely. Again thats the future director of borderlands. To anyone who loves eli roth movies i am sorry I do not like eli roth movies. The only movie I can almost sit through of one his is cabin fever only because of party cop and that silly harmonica death scene, its so dumb its funny but thats about it oh and the hospital bunny is kinda amuzing.

[@EmileeTv1993]

This wasn't even suspenseful, it was just depressing. There is nothing light about it. nothing that makes you feel good. Even in the ending, when you think he's gonna get revenge, it's just empty. I guess that was the point of this film, but it was terrible.

[@RozwallabyVideos]
