Just because spooky season ends doesn’t mean that horror fans are ready to jump right into feel-good and jolly. Luckily for those who love a little horror mixed all year round, there are holiday movie options with a significant scare/gore factor.
One of those movies is called Better Watch Out, and while it’s easy to assume, from the title alone, that it would be a fun or a feel-good comedy surrounding the famous Christmas song. What quickly becomes evident is that it’s anything but warm and fuzzy.
It’s a mix between Home Alone, The Babysitter, and Mean Girls all rolled into one. Okay, maybe a little less Mean Girls, but the idea is there; it’s all about getting even, the holidays, and of course, some bloody fight scenes.
The trailer was shared in a Reddit thread on the social platform today, and many commenters hailed the film as a great Christmas horror movie.
