Midnight Screenings - Knock Knock

[@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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@VSigma725]

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

[@Parker-f3s]

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

[@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.

[@DonPeyote420]

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

[@TheZipperDragon]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

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.

Huh, that's actually a decent comparison.

[@Aoirann]

Except Kitten with a Whip is somehow better.

[@KevinThePilgrim]

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

[@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?"

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.

[@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.

Bubble gum gang ? what about the butter cream gang?!

[@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 :'(

[@KuronekoBonbon]

KEANU NO!

[@OwlEye2010]

Sounds like a pretty mean-spirited movie on top of all the other problems.

[@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

[@KaristaSwiss]

this movie made me FURIOUS! talk abou double standards >:(

[@Llirik_Kuynorov]

so, wait...is Keanu Reeves in 2 movies that are both called Knock knock?

[@chancewelch649]

I watched this movie twice. The first time I thought it was shit and the second time was my dad didn't believe me so he made me watch it with him shocker it was worse the second time.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

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”.

[@NanaN0Head]

Wow, so this movie could be subtitled "Tumblr's Gone Wild," yeah?

[@smjaiteh]

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.

[@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.
