Home Alone meets Michael Haneke’s Funny Games in this sadistic horror comedy genre bender that will leave you squealing with glee from start to finish.
Just when you thought it was safe to leave your doors unlocked and your windows unbarred, a film like Better Watch Out comes along and completely makes you rethink the home invasion narrative. On a quiet suburban street tucked within a ‘safe neighborhood’, a babysitter (played by The Visit star Olivia DeJonge) must defend a twelve-year-old boy from strangers breaking into the house, only to discover that this is far from a normal home invasion. BETTER WATCH OUT is a twisted and twisty mash-up of dark delights as filtered through the lens of an ’80s teen comedy.
