When high school beauty Ashley arrives to babysit precocious 12-year-old Luke it's the usual routine of ordering pizza and watching a scary movie, but that is where any semblance of normality ends. It would be a sin to even hint at what happens next to Ashley and Luke in their supposedly safe suburban neighborhood.

Home Alone collides with Michael Haneke's Funny Games in this wickedly clever and twisted Christmas-themed horror-comedy. Better Watch Out generates white-knuckle suspense and pitch black humor while dishing out plot shocks galore.
