This film is a remake of a 1977 film entitled Death Game. Even Webber is a devoted father left home alone. On this stormy night, two young girls appear pleading for his help. The night quickly turns into a night of seduction; which leads to a game of cat and mouse.
This film was directed by Eli Roth. This film is meant to be a twist on home invasion where the women are femme fatales. However, the two female characters only manage to come off as annoying and troublesome. It also doesn't help that it's impossible to view Keanu Reeves as helpless. But, the change does offer a fresh take on this popular genre. Just as it was intriguing to witness a man being raped on screen. The films satirical approach to 'torture horror' came off as too cheesy to be believable. Even though it has its twist, there are no real tense moments of suspense or horror to terrify its audience. The film also creates some predictable and uninteresting characters. Keanu Reeves played the role of Evan Webber. Despite not being able to see him as helpless, he was good in his role. He made the role as sincere as he could. Lorenza Izzo played the role of Genesis. Her performance felt unmotivated, but playful. Ana de Armas played the role of Bel. Her character was the clingy sexual follower. In many ways she was annoying, but it worked out.
This film can be seen on DVD.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! Despite having an original twist on a classic genre, it fails to create any real suspense.
