Similar movies to this one.


What are the several films out there in your views that are somewhat if not officially similar to this flick, "Knock Knock" (2015) by Eli Roth? Off the top of my head, most of which I've seen -

"Funny Games" (1997) (and its 2007 remake in Hollywood 10 years later by the same Austrian director Michael Haneke), "Hard Candy" (2005), "Death Game" (1977) (of which this film is in certain ways a remake), Boy Meets Girl (1994) (a cult and obscure 1990s British shock fest directed by Ray Brady that makes in a way this one look like a Disney flick, not for the faint hearted, but also similar theme wise too), Fatal Attraction (1987), "Singapore Sling" (1990) (a surreal cult early 90s Greek classic by the late film director Nikos Nikolaidis), The Strangers (2008) (and its sequel for that matter), Hostel (2005) (there are some similarities to this one besides it being a Roth film too) and Hostel Part 2 (2007), The Book of Revelation (2006), She Mob (1968), The Violent Years (1956)

The Fourth Man (1983), Basic Instinct (1992), The Abduction of Zack Butterfield (2011), Supervixens (1975), Sex and Death 101 (2007), Men Cry Bullets (1998), Drowning By Numbers (1988), "Someone To Die For" (1995), Der Fan (1982), Thursday (1998), Gone Girl (2014), The Beguiled (1971), Play Misty For Me (1971), Disclosure (1994), Envy (aka "The New Girlfriend") (1999), Swimfan (2002), Single White Female (1992), Cowards Bend the Knee (2003), Spring Breakers (2012), Body Heat (1981), Blue Seduction (2009), The Last Seduction (1994), Red Rock West (1993), Misery (1990), Diabolique (1996), Les Diabolique (1955), "Weekend" (1967), Black Scorpion (1995), Wild Things (1998), Next Door (2005), Heavenly Creatures (1994), "Fun" (1994), Eye of the Beholder (1999), Repulsion (1965), Kill Cruise (1990) and several others.

Now, not all may SEEM exactly similar OR same but they do have certain elements in common with this one, including theme wise, style and suspense wise, subject matter, reversal of expectations, unusual gender and sexual politics, female characters turning to dark sides etc. So I found them similar, you? Thanks.

Really, its a unique film then?

Someone also mentioned "Bitter Harvest" (1993) although I am yet to see it but I have seen "Kill Cruise" (aka "Der Skipper") that also stars Patsy Kensit and will give it a look one day, though its overall rather poor 4.5/10 on IMDb rating doesn't give much hope, I didn't think too much of Knock Knock either though, and give it around a 4 or at most a 5 out of 10. Some of the similar films I've listed are a 10 as well.

Because this movie had Ana De Armas, I had to rate it a 10
