Knock Knock has something genuine to say, and it uses some really dark dramatic beats to get there. - 80

Roth and Reeves locks us in for an increasingly terrifying thrillride. - 70

[A] glossy and reasonably fun update of Peter Traynor’s 1977 exploitation movie “Death Game.” - 60
Village Voice
The best villains are those whose motivations prove uncomfortably persuasive, and Knock Knock's drop-dead-gorgeous home invaders predicate their cruel game on too shaky a foundation to truly unsettle. - 60
The Guardian
Little here is going to challenge the opinion of Roth as a bratty provocateur, but it’s still fun to experience a latter-day thriller pushing so many buttons in broadly the right order: if Knock Knock’s no more than a sick joke, it’s been very shrewdly constructed. - 50
IndieWire
The movie's uneven tone and ridiculous twists never quite gel, but Knock, Knock is so eager to please that it's hard not roll with the absurd depravity on display — which has been the essence of Roth's appeal from the outset. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A film that flirts and flirts with explanations for its action without ever delivering. - 50
Screen Daily
Young actresses, Lorenza Izzo, who plays the dark-haired vicious vamp, and Ana de Armas, a Marilyn Monroe-like nymphette, are fine as the sociopathic femme fatales, toying with their sexiness like a loaded weapon. But Reeves is the obvious big draw here, and he’s fun to watch, alternating between exasperation, fury and helplessness.
