  • “These Girls’ Fashion is Sick!”: An African City and the Geography of Sartorial Worldliness

As an urban feminist geographer with a research interest in African cities, I was initially pleased when the web series, An African City, debuted in 2014. The series was released on YouTube and also available online at www. anafricancity.tv. Within the first few weeks of its release, An African City had over one million views. Created by Nicole Amarteifio, a Ghanaian who grew up in London and the United States, An African City is offered as the African answer to Sex and the City, and as a counter-narrative to popular depictions of African women as poor, unfashionable, unsuccessful and uneducated. knock knock 2015

Knock Knock 2015 //free\\ -

However, the audience score tells a different story. The film has gained a passionate following on streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime). Viewers appreciate its B-movie energy, its quotable dialogue, and its refusal to play by the rules. It is a film that knows it is absurd. Roth has compared it to a Tales from the Crypt episode—meant to be lurid, funny, and moralistic all at once.

While Knock Knock can be enjoyed on a surface level as a chaotic thriller, Eli Roth weaves several contemporary anxieties into the framework of the story. The Illusion of Security

On a rainy night, a soaking wet young woman named (Lorenza Izzo) knocks on his door, claiming to be lost. Evan reluctantly lets her in to use the phone. Soon after, her friend Bel (Ana de Armas) also arrives.

While marketed as a standard erotic thriller, Knock Knock functions as a pitch-black satire targeting modern societal anxieties.

Released just a year after the first John Wick film successfully revitalized his career as an unstoppable action icon, Knock Knock presents Reeves in a starkly different light. Evan is vulnerable, deeply flawed, and entirely helpless. Reeves leans into the camp elements of the script, delivering a performance characterized by panicked desperation, highlighted by an internet-famous, highly memed monologue about chocolate chip cookies.

Upon its release in 2015, Knock Knock received mixed reviews from critics. Many struggled with the film's tonal shifts, which veered between genuine tension and campy, dark comedy.

A unique topic!

The encounter starts off friendly enough, but quickly takes a dark and absurd turn. As Ethan invites the women in, he begins to realize that they are not what they seem. The movie's tone shifts rapidly, oscillating between humor, suspense, and even a touch of horror. As the story unfolds, Ethan finds himself trapped in a series of surreal and hilarious events that challenge his perceptions of reality and his own family.

Ana de Armas and Lorenza Izzo are magnetic. They move from sweet to sinister with terrifying ease, singing "Happy Birthday" with chilling harmony while smashing sculptures. Their performance is a deliberate, cartoonish exaggeration of femme fatale tropes, and they seem to be having a blast.
