Better Watch Out

The film begins as any other generic home invasion thriller, and truth be told, I was not getting the vibe at first. I was disappointed and quite annoyed with the series of events that felt so typical and devoid of any excitement. But then, around minute 30th, comes a twist, and the scenario changed, and I was hooked right then and there.

Although I cannot say much cause even a small word could spoil the story and subsequently ruin your fun, I will tell you this, the story or the trajectory it took to be precise, caught me off guard; I did not expect it.

Now, the movie does have several logical fallacies, or loopholes, in layman's terms, but it was still thrilling to watch, and as I said, I didn't see any of it coming, which certainly added to my overall enjoyment.

Man, what a ride! I love it when I know absolutely nothing about a low budget film and don't expect much - and then get completely surprised at how good it actually is.

This little gem is an unpredictable, often times either darkly funny or deeply disturbing thrill ride that should not be me missed by genre (or generally film) fans.

It's beautifully shot, acted and written, and I'm sure we'll hear more from filmmaker Chris Peckover in the future. This is clever, inventive low-budget filmmaking at its best, and it goes to show that a lack of money is not an obstacle that can't be overcome by sheer talent.

Good stuff: 8 stars out of 10.

This movie makes you so angry that you can't possibly enjoy it.

Without giving spoilers: don't babysit teenagers!

this movie is different from what the trailer makes it seem, I didn't see the plot twist coming. the main kid does a great job. disturbing yet fun, if you like Christmas themed horror.

I really don't understand the really bad reviews. Yes, this isn't the best horror movie, but I liked the different take on the slasher theme. All in all a nice and weird take on the slasher genre.
