They believe that they're in the right for what they do to Evan (though it's debatable if they're putting on an act to justify their destructive urges).
Ethical Slut: Subverted with Bel and Genesis. Ephebophile: The girls accuse Evan of this the morning after. Plus, they claim to be underage so he would get in trouble himself (although it eventually turns out they lied about their age). According to the girls, they can't be charged with rape since he eventually gave in. The scene where Bel and Genesis seduce Evan is clearly rape, as he repeatedly tells them "no" while they take his pants off and fellate him. Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male: A major part of the film. Double Meaning: "I don't think people just meet randomly.". Disproportionate Retribution: Punishing infidelity with humiliation and possibly death. Damsel in Distress: Bel and Genesis present themselves as this at first.
Cleanup Crew: The girls call a guy they know to get rid of Louis's body after they kill him.Then they vandalize and smash Evan's wife's sculpture, tie him up with a hose, bury him in a hole in his backyard, leaving his head above ground, upload the video of him getting raped by Bel to his Facebook profile, and then depart, taking his dog with them, just in time for his wife and kids arrive home to the entire house ruined. After having the threesome with the girls, when he wants them to leave, they threaten him saying that they are underage, tie him to a bed, and Bel rapes him. Chained to a Bed: Evan is restrained while Bel rapes him the second time.Brainy Brunette: Genesis is The Chessmaster with Bel as her accomplice.The alternate ending shows him with a longer beard and coming across as much more badass. Badass Beard: Evan, though his moments of badass are few and far between.

Ax-Crazy: Bel and Genesis grow more and more violent as the movie goes on. To be fair, he was pretty much coerced into it. Ambiguous Innocence: Evan really shot himself in the foot when he had sex with Bel and Genesis. Alpha Bitch: Genesis is clearly the brains of the operations and the one who planned the whole thing. We keep waiting for the justification for their sadism, but the script never manages to make sense of it. Izzo and de Armas’ performances grow increasingly difficult to believe as the characters become violent, tying Evan up and forcing him to play games whose rules only they know. The next morning, the sirens have turned to gremlins, taking any opportunity to ruin the family man’s reputation. (Roth is surprisingly restrained in depicting this action.) Even his wife, were she given a God’s-eye view, might not blame him for succumbing, though she might be hurt by the enthusiasm he shows during the eventual menage a trois. Leaping out of seats when they sidle up too close to him, refusing to take conversational bait, volunteering praise about the work of his wife, whose sculpture fills the house – Evan is heroic, but doomed to failure. Knock Knock has to offer is in these scenes, watching Reeves mentally grapple with the Penthouse Forum scenario unfolding around him. The women flirt openly with the older man, offering unsolicited insight into the sexual habits of millennials, bending over strategically, cooing over their host’s biceps and his record collection.
Reluctantly inviting them in while an Uber heads their way, Evan gives Genesis (Izzo) and Bel (De Armas) robes and puts their clothes in the drier.
