I think it's a fantastic storyline but it may have taken it a step too far to be believable for me.

| Feb 11, 2020

Better Watch Out is a fun, surprisingly emotional horror movie experience.

| Oct 23, 2019

Better Watch Out is a festive treat all year round. And you'd better watch it.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 4, 2019

Better Watch Out is like a puzzle that horror fans get to dissect, which makes it a true joy to watch. Even better, it's a movie that demands you react to it. You'll laugh. You'll yell at characters. You'll cringe.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 5, 2019

The pretensions of 'Better Watch Out' are modest, but for what it pretends to do it does a great job. [Full Review in Spanish]

Sharp direction, snappy dialogue, clever comedy, tasty looking pizza and a game-changing twist all come together to create a fun, creepy and entertaining holiday horror movie.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 21, 2018

Most notably, a merry-minded macabre middle finger to the Yuletide season in the charmingly twisted and creatively corrosive suburban home invasion horror thriller 'Better Watch Out'.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018

Better Watch Out is a joyous festive horror treat.

| Nov 3, 2018

Better Watch Out breaks the mold of the typical holiday slasher and is sure to be on everyone's holiday must-watch list. It takes what audiences love about the holidays and everything they love about horror to create a fun new Christmas movie.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Nov 2, 2018

Provides a fun twist on the home invasion sub-genre that should give horror fans a hilariously disturbing viewing experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Better Watch Out goes to completely unexpected and(...)gruesome places. The nasty shocks are off-set by treading the always tricky horror/comedy line with wit aplomb, thanks to a cocky, confident script by Kahn and director Chris Peckover.

| Sep 21, 2018

Better Watch Out is a fresh, snarky, twisted horror that's a perfect addition for the holiday season.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 25, 2018

It may be gimmicky and nasty, but it's also an enjoyable freak-out.

| Original Score: 3.5 | Apr 24, 2018

...a disappointing misfire.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 26, 2018

Though occasionally unsurprising, it joins Krampus and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale as a strong alternative to the regular holiday viewing because of the nasty genre thrills it delivers whilst being wickedly funny.

| Jan 8, 2018

In Better Watch Out, [director Chris] Peckover has succeeded in creating a truly chilling horror which, I hope, will generate plenty of talk this Christmas.

If Better Watch Out was a Yuletide beverage, it'd be spiked eggnog: you think you know what you're getting, but after a couple of sips it turns out to be something very different.

| Dec 14, 2017

... Better Watch Out is a delightfully nasty seasonal inversion, replete with carollers, decorations, themed jumpers and booze.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2017
