MmeRenard, telling the end would be a spoiler however despite of this I'd like to know the end (then my question was rather rhetorical) plus the fact that the UK release date is tomorrow.

I have a feeling it will be released in the U.S. around Halloween, that tends to be a popular time for horror/thrillers.

I managed to catch Knock Knock earlier this week and I thought I’d give you guys some thoughts. I thought it was a pretty solid film. Very entertaining. I don't understand the reactions of some of the viewing public who hated it. It isn't the worse film ever and for people to have got up and left during the film, well, I’m surprised. But then again, I never walk out of films. It wasn't particularly gory - if it was made in the tradition of hostel or saw, i probably wouldn't have been able to sit through it.

The following comments reveal some plot details but it’s nothing you haven’t seen before in the trailer and in previous discussions.

The first half of the film was compelling and really well acted. I thought that Keanu's performance in the first half was amazing. His acting was so natural, particularly in the scenes where the girls were flirting with him. It was both endearing and hilarious watching him fidget and look both flattered and uncomfortable with the girls’ attentions. The morning after the seduction was really well done too, he was so convincing in his remorse and then you could really feel his horror when he thought they had left but then he encountered the girls creating havoc in his kitchen. But as the film progressed and he became more and more hysterical, he was kind of over acting but I’m wondering if it was a deliberate choice to ham it up. I mean, in John Wick he was tied up to a chair and had to convey anger and frustration and he did it subtly, perfectly . In Knock knock, he was similarly trussed up but he gave a very energetic performance which felt over the top, but I believe he intended it this way. Maybe it was to complement the craziness of the girls’ actions. But it worked, it felt in keeping with the tone of the film. I think the people who watched the film and hated it just concentrated on his OTT performance of the latter stages of the film. I think maybe they were thrown by the film, after all, there were very few reviews available when the film was released. I think it is interesting that most of the film critics gave knock knock a fair rating,the average seems to be 3/5 stars. There were comments on twitter that knock knock was the most f***ed up film they have ever sat through. I thought it was pretty dark and twisted in places but not as harrowing as say, Irreversible by Gasper Noe which I personally find the most f**ked up film ever. But I concede that Irreversible was a critically acclaimed film.

But to conclude, I enjoyed the film. I thought the two female leads were fantastic. As was Keanu too, but mainly for me in the first half. He played against type and he did it amazingly well and was very believable. I think the Keanu haters are going to (and already have) rip his performance into shreds but you need to ‘get’ Keanu and his acting style and they obviously don’t and never will. I always think of his acting to be like one of those magic eye pictures. At first there is nothing but a mix of dots and then suddenly a 3D image pops out and something will click and from then on,you can always decipher the magic eye image. But some people I know cant and have trouble seeing the 3D image within. Ahem, on that note, I sign off.
Knock, Knock – pretty good.

Thank you so much for sharing !
It makes me even more eager to see it; whenever it's gonna be released in my country. (and if not, there's always the DVD ).

I guess most people who complained about KR's performance in this movie didn't know much about the context and/or were expecting another John Wick performance (considering that it was released in the UK just less than four months ago). And this is the complete opposite of it...
So as usual, they weren't seeing the movie / KR's performance in its context, but comparing it with their own presumptions and biases...

That 3D image analogy is very fitting :)

I think that I am quite lucky to be able not to expect anything from a new movie and then I am happy and satisfied with KR's performance (however I might not like other things).

It will come out officially September 3rd here (Netherlands), but I just checked and it's actually shown tonight in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
