The characters are driven by convenience, not behavior, and their actions seem like they've been manhandled into place to make the plot work.

"Director Eli Roth's "Knock Knock," a remake of the 1977 exploitation picture "Death Game," sometimes plays more like a comedy than like the grungy thriller that inspired it, but that's often all to the good."
Dan Callahan, TheWrap
Rotten
Knock Knock is a pretty flimsy erotic thriller, but thanks to Reeves' oaken obliviousness it's also got a few moments of deliciously trashy fun.

Rotten
As a piece of social satire, "Knock Knock" winds up being not just toothless but anticlimactic.

All foreplay and no, well, climax.
