Review of Better Watch Out (2017) by Deanomite — 01 Jan 2020
This was in my top 3 movies for 2019, behind Freaks and Joker. I was seriously left with knots in my stomach by the end. Roger Corman said once that rule #1 is to have a good script, and this one is excellent.
This movie was a real surprise. It steadily ratchets up tension little by little like a pressure cooker. It was very well photographed, the lighting and color pallette were extremely well organized. The camera is always in exactly the right spot, moving when it should, the way it should.
The performances were all very effective, a real accomplishment considering the age and experience level of everyone involved. All in all I was really impressed by this thrilling little movie.
