Better Watch Out

This film went from 0 to a 10000 real damn quick.

On the same level as The Babysitter, Better Watch Out is possibly one this year's most enjoyable Horror Comedies out in later years. The trailer did this film no justice at all. And also made it out to be a story which it is the absolute opposite of. 
It is another strange twist on the Slasher film, but with this being a Home Invasion movie turned completely on its head. What do you do when the person who is obsessed with you has to think his house is being invaded when really he is the one who is behind it all along.

Basically a typical babysitter being stalked story-line, however her stalker is no one special other than the teenage boy she babysits. When hearing that babysitter Ashley is moving out of town, Luke begins a plan to stage a break in of his house and henceforth will heroically save her. Yet, Ashley discovers his ploy and when threatening to tell his parents gets into further danger at the hands of Luke.

From here on in the film goes from strength to strength in alienating its audience. With some humorous parts, Better Watch Out is my new favourite holiday Horror. Like The Babysitter it plays with some of our favourite Horror tropes. The modern day Horror films I feel are getting better and better. Get Out, Happy Death Day, Eat, It Follows, XX
I want it ALL.
Give me more of this shit, even if I have a demanding project about the Final Girl due on Friday.
