‘Better Watch Out’ Blu-ray Comes With a Holiday Card [Exclusive]

Published

on

Well Go USA shared with us this exclusive motion poster and holiday card for Chris Peckover’s ridiculously fun holiday horror Better Watch Out, which will be releasing in a Blu-ray combo pack on December 5th. Also now on VOD platforms, the card comes with every copy of the home video release.

Set in a quiet American suburb on a snowy evening on the lead up to Christmas, Ashley (Olivia DeJonge), the regular babysitter for Deandra (Virginia Madsen) and Robert Lerner (Patrick Warburton), has to defend their twelve-year-old son (Levi Miller) from strangers breaking into the house – only to discover that this is far from a normal home invasion.

Described as Home Alone meets Scream, Trace reviewed the film out of the Fantastic Fest premiere, calling it “a hilariously bonkers home invasion tale.”

“Better Watch Out provides a bonkers twist on the home invasion sub-genre that had me squealing with glee from start to finish.”

The thriller is a Storm Vision Entertainment and Best Medicine production, directed by Chris Peckover (Undocumented) and written by Zack Kahn and Peckover.
