Review of Better Watch Out (2017) by Goiky — 25 Dec 2019
This movie is legit terrifying. Like, I felt actual fear just reviews of the movie after the fact. The entire thing is elaborately set up and the horror aspects fit perfect in with the themes its trying to push.
The whole thing is really well put together, with the humor and the serious bits never undoing one or the other. The fear that you feel with the idea that the **** kid might actually get away with it is possibly the most tense and fearful moment in the movie for me watching it.
I felt real scared that they were going to go that way, and for the leading lady as well. Seriously, this movie shocked me with how good it was. I went in expecting a normal holiday slasher. Effective twist, effective story, and great acting from pretty much everyone.
To be fair, I went into this movie completely blind and without expectations, which may be where a lot of disappointment is coming from. Still, this movie stands strong on its own, and the notion of your primary disappointment coming from the idea that you were expecting something different is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
