Home invasion though being a creepy subject was made hilarious after the home alone series. This movie actually explains what happens when a psychopath is left home alone. Not alone in the movie though but levi miller pulled a beauty in this role. Movie keeps you guessing what next is going to happen and often times pulls off the impossible. Levi miller and Olivia dejonge perfectly portray there roles. Especially after watching the movie one would remember the strong headed girl in Olivia dejonge. Movie is filled with clever twists and humour when needed. The best twist would be the post credit scene that burries the whole satisfaction experience delivered in the climax of the film and keeps you guessing only for a sequel to be made. It better be left to one's imagination though. The movie's premise and trailers would definitely misguide you of it being a home alone kind of a movie. But it completely ruins the innocence of the home alone series and brings in the creepiness that is quite depressing and unbelievable after some time. Performances from every actor is flawless and they will go long. Direction is pretty good for the scenes and story development is keenly done. I couldn't point out any flaw in the storyline but in the end they kimd of stressed it way too far to be believable. Watch it you must if you are looking for a cringe horror. Do not look for reviews with spoilers before watching the movie or it will spoil the fun. Must watch.

Having completely unacknowledged this horror for quite some time, I actually removed it from my mind. It caught me by surprise one day, bought it, and here we are reviewing a Christmas film in the peak of summer season (sounds about right...). So, naturally, I had no idea what I was getting into except that it resembled a home invasion film. Oh boy, was I wrong. A babysitter is summoned to watch over a family's son and house whilst the parents go out. The son is hoping to get to "second base" with the babysitter, but his plans are paused as the house is seemingly invaded by a masked individual. Let the festivities, begin! Reminiscent to 'Home Alone', it's a story involving mind games where the residents are at an advantage for knowing the layout of their abode, with a specific scene so self-aware that it actually admits to imitating that very film. But, it's not all sweet like gingerbread men and candy canes. Oh no, there is one heck of a twist that I just cannot verbalise, for it would ruin the surprise. And well, who doesn't like a surprise gift at Christmas? Writer/Director Peckover seamlessly persuades the audience's minds into a false sense of security, luring them down the route of obviousness. We are now Christmas pudding in his hands, and he moulds his way through many well executed twists and turns that unsurprisingly caught me off guard. Deranged, yet psychologically entertaining. DeJonge and Miller give fantastic performances, particularly the latter who was clearly enjoying the role. It's well shot, with technical inventiveness, and includes a rather funny screenplay, but above all it is fun. Good old fashion fun. Frequently, the pacing does dip and takes some time for the thrills to build back up. Also, as elaborate as the conclusion was, it just wasn't believable. Alas, the film knows what it is. A disposable thriller that injects some blood-soaked holiday spirit into Christmas. This will certainly be a new favourite of mine during the holiday season.

Found this on Netflix, having no prior knowledge of what it was about, I saw that two of the leads from "The Visit," who I thought did well in an otherwise mediocre film, were starring. So, with little expectation, and fully prepared to switch to Archer at a moment's notice, I turned it on. Better Watch Out lies about everything. I don't even think the name is appropriate for the title. That title conjures up ideas of Santa Claus going on a rampage, or clueless teens getting their comeuppance for past transgressions. Bizarrely, Better Watch Out, upon finishing the film, I noticed, doesn't actually even try to hide what is about to transpire and that's what makes it so good. Young Ashley is about to go off to college and takes on one last night of babysitting her favourite charge, Luke. Unbeknownst to Ashley, Luke and his best friend, Garrett, have planned to get Luke laid in the most immature way possible (seduce the babysitter with a horror movie and some moet chandon). Not only that, but her current beau is picking fights with her over the phone and her ex has been spreading some vicious rumours. She's in for a rough night. Things get far worse when she receives prank calls, and before you can say "When a Stranger Calls," she and Luke are running for their lives, trying to evade a psycho whose motive remains completely absent, but makes good on his threat to kill anyone who leaves the house. At this point, I was prepared to continue for the cast, only, because all three leads are adorable and cute, even as the situation becomes stale and predictable. Then, and I can't stress this enough, things got switched up. Things, which already seemed pretty bad, get worse in a way that is so difficult to comprehend, I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out what sort of film I was actually watching. What appears to be an innocent act quickly spirals into one of utter depravity and filth, something I've not seen, ever, in a mainstream horror. Even as my brain was trying to catch up, I kept thinking "Surely this is a mistake, things can be fixed, right?"Better Watch Out pays homage to a vast variety of horror directors, from Michael Hanneke to Joe Dante. There's a cloyingly sweet Home Alone feel to the proceedings, with a very real reference to that movie's take on self-defense,, that may ruin further viewing of Home Alone at Christmas for any viewer with a queasy stomach. Even as the leads are crumbling to violence and horror, it's hard not to watch them, they're that good. Even the supporting cast give layered performances (Luke's mother and father are comic relief, but there are cracks under the suburban happiness) and not since "Orphan" have I seen a child actor carry a horror on their shoulders.There are some misgivings. I found it hard to believe the complicity involving certain characters, and I assume that it is just their way of coping with trauma, but I didn't believe that there'd be as much support for what occurs between those stuck in the house. Furthermore, two of the main cast are playing 12 year olds which is disturbing enough as it is, yet is further compounded by the fact the babysitter looks younger than them. It's difficult to believe there'd be such penchant for violence (physical, sexual, emotional and mental) against and perpetrated by 12 year olds.Thankfully, the whole thing moves so fast that you barely have time to register one horrific reveal before another nasty, twisted little cut has been inflicted. It's a marvel for horror fans and, for me, will be an excellent addition to my annual christmas horror show!

This movie start with fun but has time goes on It starts to change slowly to the point where I begin to have so much fun seeing how all the twists fit so perfectly on points and ending made me go crazy to watch part 2 you know.
