10 Best Home Invasion Horror Movies
6. Better Watch Out
Better Watch Out is absolutely one of those movies best watched while knowing as little as possible, so we'll keep specifics brief here.
The basic premise sees 12-year-old Luke (Levi Miller) and his babysitter Ashley (Olivia DeJonge) on the run from an armed intruder, in what turns out to be anything but a conventional home invasion horror.
With an ironic Christmas-time setting and continual battle of wits between victims and aggressor, the Home Alone comparisons are undeniable.
However, between its continual subversion of expectations, excellent central performances, and free-flowing tone, Better Watch Out is far more than inspired pastiche.
Again, if this base premise hooks you at all, it's best to go in without even bothering to watch the trailer. You won't regret it.
