Ever since Hostel Part II, Eli Roth has been something of a disappointment to thrill-seeking horror fans. First The Green Inferno, and now this - a lurid home invasion movie that irritates far more than it scares, dragging down and humiliating poor Keanu Reeves in the process.

Here he is menaced by a pair of Harley Quinn-esque nightmares, who tie him to a chair, gag him with his young daughter's panties and force him to play a series of sinister, deeply stupid party games.

Loud, brash, unsubtle and very, very annoying, even the sight of a confused Keanu shouting about 'free pizza' won't save you and your Halloween party from the headache which inevitably follows.
