The premise
On a quiet suburban street tucked within a 'safe neighborhood', a babysitter 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.
Horror Vault's take
When a teenage babysitter takes a Christmas Eve job in a seemingly safe neighborhood, what starts as a cozy night in quickly spirals into something far more sinister than a typical home invasion. Director Chris Peckover subverts familiar holiday horror tropes at every turn, engineering a film that keeps yanking the rug out from under its audience. Darkly comic and genuinely disturbing, Better Watch Out weaponizes the warmth of Christmas aesthetics against you in the best possible way.
