When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse.
What critics thought
Eli Roth's home-invasion thriller divided critics sharply: those who accepted its campy, satirical tone found it a gleefully trashy guilty pleasure, while the majority felt the film's repetitive structure and tonal miscalculations undercut any real tension or coherent message. Keanu Reeves' performance was one of the few elements critics across both camps singled out, though even that drew debate over whether his earnest over-the-top delivery was a strength or a symptom of the film's broader unevenness.
“what we do have is a home invasion film for the social media generation (yes, it does feature social media in its plot) that should make you think twice before offering warmth and shelter to a stranger on a dark and stormy night.”
Dread Central
“helps make the movie easily Roth's best work.”
