WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

On a quiet suburban street around the holidays, teenager Ashley (DeJonge) is stuck babysitting her twelve-year-old neighbour Luke (Miller). However, when dangerous intruders enter the house and terrorise them, Olivia must step up her game if she is to protect herself and Luke – only to soon discover that this is no normal home invasion…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

You better watch out (to use the film’s title), you better not cry, because this is one dark festive comedy-horror that takes the home invasion aspect of Home Alone to a rather disturbing new level.
