20 Horror Movie Characters Everyone Underestimated
14. Luke Lerner - Better Watch Out
Better Watch Out is definitely a movie best watched without any prior knowledge, and thankfully the marketing mostly shied away from spoiling its shocking mid-film twist.
Initially, the film seems to follow a babysitter, Ashley (Olivia DeJonge), who must fight to save the boy she's sitting for, Luke (Levi Miller), during a brutal home invasion.
But we eventually learn that the entire scenario was actually staged by Luke and his friend Garrett (Ed Oxenbould) in an attempt to seduce Ashley by "saving" her.
The seemingly meek, sweet Luke is actually anything but - he's really a complete sociopath who consequently murders Ashley's boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend, and then even Garrett when he has a change of heart.
That's... not what anyone expected when they started watching this movie, and considering Luke and Ashley both make it to the end of the movie alive, it's low-key infuriating that a sequel still hasn't materialised almost a decade later.
