The trailer for holiday horror Better Watch Out is like Home Alone on steroids 

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste

The Christmas slasher movie Better Watch Outwhich played at last year’s Fantastic Fest under the title of Safe Neighborhood—is as all-American as they come, which is weird, because it was made in Australia. The film takes the basic idea behind Home Alone and crosses it with a home-invasion thriller like Michael Haneke’s Funny Games, with some savagely hilarious results. (See: The paint can gag in the trailer above.)

To say much more would spoil the twist-filled plot of the film, so we’ll just say that Better Watch Out hits theaters an VOD on October 6.
