Better Watch Out is a horror flick set during the holiday season. But instead of gifts and good cheer, the Chris Peckover-directed movie offers up some suspense, blood, and violence. The synopsis according to IMDB: On a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve-year-old boy from intruders, only to discover it’s far from a normal home invasion.

Think of it as a film that combines elements from The Strangers and When a Stranger Calls. Overall, just from the trailer itself, it’s a project that’s sure to induce some screams from the audience. It’s probably not the psychological thriller some might be looking for but it could satisfy some die-hard fans of the often looked-over horror-holiday genre.

Watch the trailer above and let us know your thoughts. Better Watch Out opens in theaters on October 6.
