Ignore the dark and stormy night, the tinkle of ominous music, and the whole “directed by Eli Roth” part, and Knock Knock could momentarily pass for a star-powered porno. Its setup is pure after-hours Cinemax: Stuck home working on Father’s Day while his wife and children are on a sun-and-fun vacation, architect Evan (Keanu Reeves) gets an unexpected late-night visit. Standing at his front door, scantily clad and soaking wet, are Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana De Armas), two flirty young women of indeterminate age.

Poor Evan doesn’t stand a chance. If only someone could tell him the genre of the movie he’s unwittingly starring in.
