But while we were waiting to figure out what was happening with ‘Green Inferno,’ we wanted to make a movie right away.”Īnd thus, “Knock Knock” was born, after the three co-writers viewed 1977’s “Death Game,” which Roth stated himself during the previous night’s Q&A to be a huge influence. And then Amoedo directed ‘The Stranger’ which will premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest. Then we did ‘The Green Inferno,’ which Eli directed. The first movie we did was ‘Aftershock,’ which I directed. “Our goal is to make one or two movies per year,” says Lopez. “Knock Knock” is distinctly set in Hollywood, but was shot entirely in Santiago, Chile.
