While the John Wick franchise has gained immense popularity, Keanu Reeves' 2015 thriller Knock Knock explores a darker and more unsettling side of the actor's filmography.

Keanu Reeves ' monumental, violent film, John Wick, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024, but an underrated Reeves thriller that followed went even darker.
