Solid movie. Felt like a riff on home invasion horror, but also brought a new element to it: female attacker(s) and a male victim. Suspenseful, intriguing, and Keanu is just, well, so Keanu. Plays up a pedophilic/cheating angle, heavily, and yet somehow makes you sympathize more with a victim in Keanu than his aggressors. Nice commentary by Eli Roth as an example from the other side of statutory rape. And bigger commentary (last few lines of the movie) on how, societally, this has become more problematic and more of an issue, fueled more so by social media. Not highly recommended from a pure horror standpoint, but recommended enough from a cinema standpoint.
6.5/10
