The twists and turns of the plot, the occasional "jump out at you" moments and a story that is like a demented "Home Alone," make for a solid horror/humor package for the fans.

It's scary and fun, if your idea of fun involves occasional gore and torture, things like that. Plus: Christmas decorations!

A consistently surprising and unusually well-acted thriller, which says pertinent things about suburbia, holiday entertainment and toxic masculinity.

Chris Peckover's Christmas horror comedy is a deft melding of "Scream" and "Home Alone" that takes a surprisingly nasty turn in its last act...he really excels in his direction of his young cast

Seems destined to become one of those Yuletide perennials for people who like their holiday-themed entertainment as perversely un-wholesome as possible.

If you want to gift yourself a holiday film that decks the halls with blood, this is one to put under the tree.

Best described as Home Alone meets Michael Haneke's Funny Games, the sadistic horror comedy Safe Neighborhood is the kind of film that's tough to categorize but easy to enjoy.

Just another depressing, nihilistic horror flick.

Not only does Better Watch Out defy expectations, but it surpasses them.

Both the screenplay and the editing maintain the intricate plate-spinning required to go back and forth between laughs and screams, all the while imperceptibly boosting the tension as the night progresses.

[Better Watch Out] is a silly-to-serious film that's sure to enter the canon of Christmas movies for people who prefer a bit of arsenic laced into Santa's cookies.

Olivia DeJonge carries the film on her shoulders, even in sock feet. She's asked to act the film's most emotional sequences with duct tape over her mouth!
