Keanu Reeves stars in a new movie - he is clearly being raped by women in the trailer. I hope this sparks a thoughtful dialogue on male victims of rape.

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2015-05-22T14:02:01+00:00

I fully expect all those outraged by the portrayal of a rape in GoT to muster even greater outrage over this.

... crickets....

tell_tale_knocking · 2015-05-22T16:46:49+00:00

This is directed by Eli Roth, known for his extremely over the top gore. I think that will take it off a lot of people's radar.

Doctor_Loggins · 2015-05-22T16:23:06+00:00

I'm sorry, but I had to stop and just giggle for like 5 minutes straight about "chocolate with sprinkles!!" It was such a Bill&Ted moment and it totally ruined the gravitas of the trailer.

Artector42 · 2015-05-22T14:33:45+00:00

Some twisted shit. I hope it's not some giant joke to people.

female rapists are femme fatales, eh? I guess its ok because they are hot so they cant rape.

Oh wait didnt they all bitch because Jamie raped Cersei? But he's good looking, good looking people dont rape

Well, at least they don't kill his dog.

I hope this sparks a thoughtful dialogue on male victims of rape.

I doubt it, if only because it depicts a fantastical and improbable version of male rape rather than the more common (i.e. "boring") scenario more likely to play out in real life.

Tsukamori · 2015-05-22T15:48:46+00:00

Jolly, I can't wait from Tumblr to screenshot the scenes where Keanu attacks the girls and scream rape-culture.

ARedthorn · 2015-05-22T18:43:42+00:00

I wonder if we can arrange a fan-film gender-swap...

Same lines, same everything. Soccer mom, clearly attractive but a bit unshevelled... 2 very very attractive but twisted guys... First time, no force- just "I can't do this, I'm married- happily." "Yes you can. Just relax, enjoy it. It'll be our little secret."

Then, of course, the awful stuff.

The question of course being not if it's rape... But when they think it becomes rape.

Cause me- I heard a clear and decisive no in that first encounter.

Dakrys · 2015-05-22T21:07:08+00:00

Nah. It'll just get dismissed as a male fantasy.

WhiteDragon9d · 2015-05-22T14:57:36+00:00

Dude has the same name as me, creepy.

I usually try to do the rule of reverse. If this was two guys and a girl would there be outrage?

AtomicBLB · 2015-05-22T16:27:34+00:00

There will be no outrage, because this is revenge porn and people will eat it up. He clearly wanted it or he would not have done it right? His having sex with them automatically makes him a pile of human garbage because he's cheating on his wife. You see the brutal female on male violence stories mention it almost without fail that the man was cheating on the woman. Feels > everything.

is_it_just_meor · 2015-05-22T17:06:15+00:00

First, they didn't rape him; they seduced him. Then they raped him.

Bearded_Deity · 2015-05-22T17:09:41+00:00

It wont spark any kind of conversation.

Because outside of us here, no one cares about male rape.

And to the people who are saying "I literally do not believe in male rape", you are a super ignorant, piece of shit. Just fyi.

Just because we are men, doesn't mean we can't be raped. The body might do one thing, and you might not want it too. Lots of men have spoken about feeling "betrayed by their own bodies" because they describe "physically getting an erection, but not wanting to engage in this type of act".

yoshi_win · 2015-05-22T16:39:41+00:00

The movie ends with the premise that, presented with temptation, all men will succumb.

From IMDb review. That review is one example of a thoughtful monologue on masculinity. But it suggests that while Knock Knock reverses some gender stereotypes about agency and victimhood, the movie deploys others as cheap plot devices.

funnyfaceking · 2015-05-22T19:18:33+00:00

Mark my words:" People will say that he deserved it because he cheated on his wife."

Fucking hell the trailer alone is scarier than most horror movies made in the last 20 years. The thought of being tied down and threatened like that. Someone forcing themselves on me like that. I don't want to feel this feel.

I was planning on jacking it to some porn right now. I'm not so sure anymore.

I really hope this movie conveys the issue in the right way and doesn't make it into a "joke" type thing for young women - this is a real thing - women take advantage of men like this and ruin family's every day, the worst part is the man is the one who gets blamed!

It's kinda odd how they claim it's a "sexy" thriller when it's about a guy getting raped and shot by two girls.

They would never do the same with the genders reversed.

Edit: It doesn't say "sexy it says sex", disregard my comment.

Huh, if some chicks tried that shit on me, i'd be all like, "Here, have an umbrella. Now go find a phone box."

As for the movie, Eli Roth is a talentless little turd who has always struck me as rather anti-male so i would be surprised if this wasn't a "He got what was coming to him," kind of movie.

Peytoria · 2015-05-22T23:37:48+00:00

Eh, He ended up having sex with them that first time. The second part is definitely rape.

he was sexually assaulted.

I'd would be hard pressed to believe any wife believing that.

Ransal · 2015-05-23T01:37:33+00:00

lmao, I can guaran-freakin-tee you they're going to be butthurt that women were shown to be violent and aggressive, not that a man was raped.

Also: the ending is pretty obvious from the trailer, he's crazy and the chicks aren't real.

Edgewerk · 2015-05-23T05:50:42+00:00

Looks horrible. And brutal. And completely over the top. I'm going back to Hello Kitty. Until the feminists put a trigger warning on that too.

mARINATEDpENIS · 2015-05-23T09:31:48+00:00

I think this movie is an educational piece. It helps young men to keep away from seductive women.

I think it is more like a reversal of I Spit On Your Grave. We all know what's going to happen in the end. Keanu kills them both and gets his revenge. Then there is going to be twist ending, where his wife comes home, gets all pissed off and starts chasing Keanu like the rapists.

iMADEthis2post · 2015-05-23T14:17:35+00:00

I quite like movies like this and Gone Girl for instance, I think they serve a purpose to remind society that women can be scumbags and not just men. It's social conditioning and we need as many disgusting female characters in media as we have male.

2015-05-23T17:25:45+00:00

I don't necessarily have a problem with the depiction of male rape in movies, so long as it's not humorizing it (*cough*Super.) Movies have free artistic license to cover the full range of human experience, from the sublime to the atrocious.

Incidentally, this happens to look like a really shitty B movie in general. But I won't stoop to the level of trying to censor it.

jbcarrot · 2015-05-22T21:38:38+00:00

Although this movie looks absolutely rubbish, I hope it brings light to male victims.

Fattybatman3456 · 2015-05-23T00:53:16+00:00

Wow just wow. Its a interesting take on the "Sex thriller" Genre and with the roles reversed. To be honest i thought this was gonna be a john wick 2 at the beginning. I will be going to watch this when it comes out. It definitely has my curiosity. Not the best trailer though.

2015-05-22T23:16:59+00:00

These comments are pretty much all of what I dislike about people in this subreddit.

There is such a shit ton of imaginary scenarios people are saying are going to happen. People saying how this won't spark conversation, why? Obviously because no one but 'us' cares about male rape. Certainly can't be that people watch movies for fun and entertainment, and don't want to talk about a serious topic like rape, something that is considered by many people, worse than murder. Right? Nah, course not. And clearly no other reason, apparently.

Come on folks, don't bitch about how people won't do stuff, or won't take notice...in the future. Bitch about the people, now, not the people who might do all of what you say, later.

...Don't think this directly above paragraph made much sense. Eh, fuck it.

dingo8muhbabies · 2015-05-23T00:14:47+00:00

What the fall is everyone on this thread talking about? The whole premise of the film is that this man's sexual abuse is a serious and horrible thing, it supports the gravity of the situation entirely, and all thr comments here are just sarcastic bullshit comments speculating that people won't care, even though I haven't seen a single comment to that extent. So much for the thoughtful discussion OP was after...

Um, it's an Eli Roth horror movie.

0bliette · 2015-05-23T16:06:17+00:00

The tactic you will see used is the claim that rape, torture and abuse of men in movies is ok because it's happened to women in movies. Some will even claim there should be more such treatment of men by women - you know, for the fairness. In fact, some involved with the film may attempt to sell the film this way, and sites like Jezebel and Salon will likely encourage women to enjoy it as revenge porn, and publish articles simultaneously applauding and attempting to diminish representations of crazy, violent women in film.

When some complain that this reveals that feminism is about increasing the harm done to or experienced by men, the counterclaim will be that "equality" demands such treatment, but men who defend themselves against violent women will still be abusers.

This is the world we live in.

I believe you are wrong. I didn't see the women penetrate him at all, therefore it wasn't rape.

Sure, what they portrayed probably has all the same psychological implications of rape plus he doesn't have the right to abort any children conceived in the sexual assault, but its not rape. The definition of rape is why men are the overwhelming majority of rapists.

Edit: I suspect those downvoting me do not know the definition of rape.

“Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

Did you notice that made to penetrate is very clearly not rape, only penetrating? Made to penetrate happens almost as much as rape, but people with penises make up the overwhelming majority of rapists. The definition of rape is the reason.

conspiracy_thug · 2015-05-22T20:05:12+00:00

And its all a dream he had when he fell asleep at his computer.

No he is not clearly being raped in the trailer.

In the first part, he agrees to a threesome.

In the second part, it's implied he might be raped, but that isn't actually shown.

I'd say the same if the genders were reversed. Would you?
