Evan Webber is home alone on a dark and stormy night. His wife and two children are away for the weekend. He has the house to himself—until he hears a knock on his door. Two young women stand outside, seeking help... and secretly looking to raise some hell. Premiering last night as a Park City at Midnight Sundance Film Festival selection, Eli Roth’s Knock Knock stars Keanu Reeves and is now teased in its first, brief trailer.

Directed by Eli Roth off a script he wrote with Nicolás López and Guillermo Amoedo, Knock Knock stars Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo, Ana De Armas, Aaron Burns, Ignacia Allamand, and Colleen Camp.

Synopsis courtesy of Sundance Film Festival's J.K.: "Evan Webber (Keanu Reeves) is living the dream. Just look at his beautiful, successful wife, his two wonderful kids, and his truly stunning house—which he designed himself. Of course he did. Things are going so well, Evan doesn't even mind spending Father's Day alone while the rest of his family heads out for a beach weekend. And then there’s a knock on the door.

The two young women (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) standing on Evan's doorstep are where Evan's dream takes a nightmarish turn. Given co-writer/director Eli Roth's well-deserved reputation for creating cinematic discomfort, it should come as no surprise what happens next: Things get weird, and then dark, and then much, much, much darker. But this is no splatter film, so Roth keeps the horror nice and psychological as Evan's life—and house—get ripped apart, piece by beautiful piece."
