Eli Roth Announces Latest Directing Project ‘Knock Knock’
Eli Roth will bring his unique brand of horror back to the cinema after announcing he is to direct his latest screenwriting project, upcoming horror movie Knock Knock which he co-wrote with Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo. The trio also co-wrote 2012’s Aftershock.

During that time the versatile director kept busy, starring in mentor Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards and producing a number of films, including The Last Exorcism and the sequel, The Last Exorcism Part II.
The Wrap reports that production on Knock Knock will start in April.
