And certain destructive acts, such as covering a corpse with paper maché or playing a gameshow revolving around Evan’s punishment, come across as weird rather than disturbing. The girls’ efforts to torment poor Evan never reach levels of squeamishness-turning up the volume on some headphones to earsplitting volume doesn’t translate as well visually as, say, the slow slicing of limbs. If Roth is out this time to punish his young adult male audience of oglers and voyeurs, he only does so with half-hearted success.

But it’s a full hour into the film before these young ladies prove to be far more dangerous than they first appear. We know what’s coming, and Roth delays the inevitable for as a long as possible, creating a palpable air of tension that finally releases. They ask for help, a place to dry their clothes-providing them the opportunity to undress-and begin to flirt incessantly with Evan, offering him tales of their open sexual lives and lots of come-hither looks.

Later that night, two sexy kittenish young women, drenched wet from the falling rain, show up at Evan’s front door, as if in a porno. In the next 48 hours, all will, unsurprisingly, end up in ruins. These early scenes not so subtly suggest the various details of Evan’s life that will provide pay-offs later: his asthmatic friend Luis who must return to the house the following day Evan’s hair style and his artist wife’s many sculptures that decorate the house. It’s Father’s Day! But after a morning of brief celebrations with the wife and kids, Evan will be left alone to finish a big project. The film begins with aerial shots of Hollywood Hills mansions before eventually landing on Evan’s own precisely designed, majestic geometric dwelling. Revees stars as Evan Webber, a “hot” happily married 43-year-old successful architect (and former DJ!) and father of two. Still, with Keanu Reeves in the lead role, Roth’s fan-base, two sexy co-stars, and a plot that holds together reasonably well (based on 1977’s Death Game), Knock Knock should find easy entry into theatrical and ancillary markets. That leaves Knock Knock in a strange place, not as bloody disgusting as horror aficionados might like, but too exploitational for a more mainstream genre-loving audience. Knock Knock offers little redemption or even unclean satisfaction, preferring to reduce its entire project to a cruel Facebook joke. Gore is kept to a minimum, with the torture less physical and more psychological. Though entertaining-in a sick, sadomasochistic way-fans of Roth’s horror oeuvre may not exactly get their rocks off from Knock Knock, which is a relatively tame affair compared to he and his colleagues’ previous outings.

But this latest film from Eli Roth ( Cabin Fever, Hostel) has a lot in common with Michael Haneke’s seminal psychological thriller about a bourgeois home invasion-minus the intelligence or self-awareness. We had to re-sod the whole backyard.Funny Games, it’s not. “‘Guys make sure she does not come in here.’ She comes ripping through her house. “I saw her pull up and I run inside,” Aaron Burns, who is cast as Louis in the film, recalled. At the time of filming, it belonged to an interior decorator, who apparently visited the set right after the scene in which the girls vandalized the property and had the shock of her life. The glasshouse depicted in ‘Knock Knock’ as Evan’s home is located in Chicureo, a town in the Chacabuco Province, Chile. In the past, the city has hosted the production teams of projects like ‘ The Amazing Race’, ‘Kingdoms’, and ‘The Wolf House.’ The picturesque Chilean capital served as one of the filming locations for ‘Knock Knock’. Roth once said that, between Chile and the US, he prefers filming in the former country as it is easier to do so there.

Before appearing in ‘Knock Knock,’ Izzo portrayed a supporting character in ‘Aftershock’ and the lead in ‘The Green Inferno.’ Armas is also a Chilean national, and so are several other members of the cast and crew. In 2012, he wrote, produced, and starred in Nicolás López’s disaster horror film ‘Aftershock.’ It was through López that Roth met his future first wife, Izzo, while he was working on ‘The Green Inferno.’ Roth has a long association with the country. Roth and his cinematographer Antonio Quercia predominantly filmed ‘Knock Knock’ in Santiago de Chile and the City of Chicureo.

In this article, we try to find out which locations Roth and his team used to film the project. For the most part, ‘Knock Knock’ is set in typical American suburbia. When he tries again to get them to leave the house, their playful demeanor takes a darker turn as they begin to blackmail him. As the night progresses, the girls seduce him into having a threesome with them. He hires a car for them and makes sure that they are comfortable. One rainy night, he lets two young girls, Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana de Armas), into his home after they appear at his doorstep, asking directions to a party.
