With Sundance 2015 currently under way, things have been steadily going bump in the night. Especially for Eli Roth, who hit the ground running with two announcements that horror fans have been waiting for.
First, the news via IndieWire is that the headaches surrounding The Green Inferno‘s long delayed release are about to come to an end. “Here’s the thing: Everyone is working to resolve it. Open Road has been amazing through this entire process. I really love them, they’ve been great. Even with whatever situation World View is going through, everyone is working together to find the best, cleanest, most positive resolution and get the film out in the widest release possible. I think realistically it would be in the August to September range.”
Moving on to his newer project, Knock Knock, Roth dropped a trailer on Facebook for fans to dig on. Keanu Reeves stars alongside Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas. Check it out below.
Synopsis:
Evan Webber (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 (Izzo, 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.
