Uh-oh! A strand of hair came off my head when I was washing it this morning in the shower. Maybe I’m getting alopecia!?
Have you ever let thoughts like this creep into your head before? Good news; you’re not alone.
Hypochondria is more common than people think. Almost all of us have, at some point, worried about our health unnecessarily. Some of us worry about it a lot!
With a wealth of information at our fingertips it’s easy to develop a nagging anxiety for one’s health. We hypochondriacs struggle daily with a number of problems, from terrified Googling of symptoms to worrying whether we irritate our doctor from countless visits. We’re in a world of turmoil and a Grim Reaper from our own silly imagination is knocking at our door.
Knock knock… Creaking door opening… Footsteps… Oh wait, hang on! I’m exaggerating.

Eli Roth is one of the biggest names in mainstream horror right now, thanks to the success of his Hostel and Cabin Fever franchises. His fingerprints are also all over many other projects, from Netflix series Hemlock Grove to The Last Exorcism, the upcoming Knock Knock and We tv’s recently announced South of Hell series. However, Roth’s next film in theaters will actually be his long-anticipated cannibal flick, The Green Inferno.
Gore aficionados have been waiting patiently for this movie, and they’ll finally get to see it this September on the big screen. But until it arrives in theaters, at least they will have this thrilling, highly disturbing trailer to make the wait a little more bearable. Check it out below:

Eli Roth has no problem selling his projects, but his latest just got a big bump with the news that Keanu Reeves will star. We previously told you that Eli Roth was looking at “Knock Knock” as his next directorial effort. Written by Roth, Nicolas Lopez, and Guillermo Amoedo, the story follows “a happily married family man who’s left alone for the weekend.

Deadline broke the news that Keanu Reeves will play the married man, while Lorenza Izzo (The Green Inferno) and Ana de Armas (Hands of Stone) will play the two girls who show up at his home.

Last month, Keanu Reeves's space romance Passengers was delayed, leaving a spot in his schedule. Deadline reports he'll be filling it with Eli Roth's "psychosexual thriller" Knock Knock. Reeves will play a content family man who one day, when his family goes away for the weekend, is visited by two beautiful women (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) who mess everything up. It's not exactly clear what that entails, but it's Roth, so it will probably be grosser/bloodier than it needs to be.

Eli Roth is currently prepping his upcoming psychological thriller Knock Knock. He’s set to both pen the script and step behind the camera and now it looks like he’s found his star. Deadline is reporting that Keanu Reeves will be headlining the film, playing a married man who’s left alone for the weekend and finds his life turned upside down when two beautiful girls (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas) show up at his house.
Speaking about the film to Deadline, Roth said the following:
“I had a window before I promote Green Inferno, and I wanted to make a movie like Roman Polanski or Paul Verhoeven made when they were young, a classic psychosexual thriller that’s not a horror movie, but would have everyone on the edge of their seats. Getting Keanu is amazing, he’s a fine actor who is perfect for this. I...

Looks like Keanu Reeves might need to reboot his career a bit. His latest blockbuster, "47 Ronin," was a flop, and the string of indies he'd done since 2008's "The Day The Earth Stood Still" barely made a ripple. That's not to mention the sci-fi "Passengers," which needs to find a female lead (after Rachel McAdams dropped out) if shooting is to proceed on schedule this summer. So his move is—go make a low budget horror with Eli Roth. Reeves has signed up to star in "Knock Knock," joining a cast of mostly unknowns including Lorenza Izzo, Ana de Armas, Colleen Camp and Aaron Burns, playing "a happily married family man who’s left alone for the weekend. Two beautiful girls show up at his house, and turn his life upside down." Everything coalesced fast on this one, with the $10 million dollar production starting in Chile on April 14th.

Eli Roth has not directed a movie since 2007. Well, technically he directed the Nazi film within a film in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, but that doesn't count in my book.

After a six year break from directing between "Hostel: Part II" and the upcoming "The Green Inferno," it looks like Eli Roth won't let a gap like that happen again: he's lining up a new horror film to tackle. Roth has signed on to direct "Knock Knock," a film he co-wrote with "Aftershock" dudes Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo. The plot? Well, it will tell the tale of "two young girls who show up unexpectedly at the home of a married man where they seduce him and wreak havoc on his perfect life." Sounds like a porno with an unhappy ending. Perhaps fittingly, this will be quick and dirty with the $10 million movie shooting in April.

When we highlighted the red band trailer for The Sacrament last week, we pointed out that before The Green Inferno (hitting theaters this year), director Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever) had taken a six year break from directing. But he's not waiting so long to get back behind the camera again as The Wrap repots Roth will direct Knock Knock, a new horror film he co-write with Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo, writers on the Roth-produced disaster horror Aftershock. And of course, Roth will also produce the film, which seems to be coming together quickly with veteran actress Colleen Camp also producing. The film will follow two young girls who show up unexpectedly at the home of a married man where they seduce him and wreak havoc on his perfect life. Sounds like a sexy version of The Strangers, but the horror angle isn't hard to surmise. Knock Knock will...

Hostel proprietor and Inglorious Basterds star Eli Roth has found his next project: horror movie Knock Knock. After a six-year gap between Hostel: Part II and his latest release, The Green Inferno, Roth will move straight onto the project with Aftershock co-writers Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo.
According to The Wrap, Roth will produce with Colleen Camp, and the story is said to follow two young girls who show up unexpectedly at the home of a married man where they seduce him and wreak havoc on his perfect life. With a budget of only $10 million, production is expected to begin this April.
Roth is still attached to direct Warner Bros. vampire movie Harker, and made a name for himself with Cabin Fever and Hostel, later taking on roles in Netflix series Hemlock Grove and the low-budget genre movies Clown and Aftershock.

Eli Roth is set to direct Knock Knock.
Roth will direct from an original screenplay that he penned with Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo, reports The Wrap.
The trio previously worked together on 2012's Aftershock, which was directed by Lopez.
Knock Knock is about two young girls who surprise a married man at his home and seek to destroy his life.
Roth made his directorial debut in 2002 with horror film Cabin Fever. He has since directed Hostel and its sequel, as well as last year's cannibal-themed horror film The Green Inferno.
It was reported last year that Roth is planning a sequel to The Green Inferno, which starred Lorenza Izzo and Sky Ferreira.
Roth was also the executive producer of Netflix's Hemlock Grove, which has been renewed for a second season.

Hostel director Eli Roth has chosen the next film project that he's going to direct. It's called Knock Knock and it will come from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Nicolas Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo, who also worked on the film Aftershock which Roth produced.
According to The Wrap, the story follows two young girls who show up unexpectedly at the home of a married man where they seduce him and wreak havoc on his perfect life.
It definitely sounds like a film project that Roth would take on. He enjoys torturing people in the movies he makes. The filmmaker recently finished his cannibalistic horror movie The Green Inferno, and there was a six year gap that and the last movie he directed Hostel II. I imagine he doesn't want to take a long of a break again in-between films.
