2016 Australian-American horror film
POPULARITY
The ending of a movie may be the most important part, because nothing else can completely redeem a movie you hated, or completely ruin something you really enjoyed. We list our top 10 movie endings ever, plus recap the life of the podcast and say our goodbyes in our last episode. It's been an amazing five and a half years, and we really want to thank you for going on this ride with us. We also take some time to discuss what comes next, and other great movie podcasts you should switch to in our absence - so stick around for all that (plus a little post-credits Easter egg at the very end). Before that, we wrap up the 2025 movie draft, recapping how our picks did and crowning a champion. Dustin also gives spoiler-free first impressions for Better Watch Out, David, and Wake Up Deadman. Jake shares his thoughts on The Family Stone, Living with Yourself, The Diplomat, Soulmates, and Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2. We love you and we'll miss you. If you're interested, follow Dustin's personal instagram and book youtube for updates on his next book and tour coming this spring.

Movie Cannibals #24 - Blut unterm Weihnachtsbaum Herzlichst willkommen, allerliebste Wühltischratten, zur neuesten Folge der „Movie Cannibals“! Ein Podcast so herzerwärmend wie ein warmer Kakao mit extra viel Sahne, Marshmallows und einer Prise Zimt – nur eben mit mehr Blut. In dieser besonderen Episode laden Till und Sero zu einer leuchtenden Schlittenfahrt durch den Zauber des Weihnachtshorrors ein – ein Subgenre, das wie kaum ein anderes beweist, wie schön Dunkelheit im Lichterglanz funkeln kann. Zwischen Kerzenschein, Schneeflocken und sanftem Unbehagen entfaltet sich eine liebevolle Hommage an Horrorfilme, die das Fest der Liebe aufnehmen und auf charmant verstörende Weise neu interpretieren. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über moderne Klassiker wie „Better Watch Out“, verspielt und überraschend wie ein sorgfältig verpacktes Geschenk. Wir würdigen das Kultjuwel „Deadly Games: Allein gegen den Weihnachtsmann“, das Mut, Fantasie und einen Hauch Wahnsinn zu echten Weihnachtswerten erhebt. „P2“ macht selbst ein kaltes Parkhaus zur emotionalen Bühne voller Spannung, während „The Children“ daran erinnert, dass Familie alles bedeutet – wirklich alles. Natürlich darf auch der festliche Auftritt von „Terrifier 3“ nicht fehlen: Art the Clown, der mit kindlicher Verspieltheit und grausamer Eleganz den Horror unter den Weihnachtsbaum legt. Ergänzt wird dies durch „Controlled: Bewahren Sie Ruhe“, der zeigt, dass selbst im Chaos noch Platz für Hoffnung und ein wenig Weihnachtsmagie bleibt – auch im Heimkino. Abgerundet wird die Folge durch eine historische Einordnung des Weihnachtshorrors – von zaghaften Anfängen bis zu seiner heutigen Vielfalt – sowie einen optimistischen Blick auf 2026, voller Vorfreude, Neugier und festlicher Erwartung. Diese Folge ist eine warme Decke aus Blut, Lametta und Nostalgie. Ein Kaminfeuer aus Schrecken und Herzenswärme. Ein Podcast wie ein sanfter Schneefall auf eine leicht verstörte Seele. Movie Cannibals – wo selbst der Horror zu Weihnachten ein liebevolles Zuhause findet. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

While Christmas is typically the time to snuggle up with friends and family to watch beloved the same corny, nostalgic favorites we return to every year, for filmmakers the holiday season is a surprisingly fertile ground for a very different form of entertainment: horror films. There are literally dozen of Christmas horror films currently in existence, and seemingly more every year. They use the Christmas festivities as a counterpoint for the bloody work of serial killers, monsters, or legendary figures from folklore. Forget Season's Greetings and a Cup of Good Cheer; for these movies, it's all about Season's Beatings and a Cup of Good FEAR. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for a very different holiday special as it explores the Best Holiday Horror Films.Movies discussed: Black Christmas (1974); Silent Night, Deadly Night; Rare Exports; Silent Night (2021); Violent Night; Christmas, Bloody Christmas; Terrifier 3; Better Watch Out; Gremlins; P2; Jack Frost (1997); Black Christmas (2006); Krampus; It's a Wonderful Knife; A Christmas Horror Story; Anna and the ApocalypseJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Michael Schwarz, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 brutal holiday horror films.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme! It's December and we're celebrating holidays most happy with movies that are at least tangentially related to the holidays, if not necessarily happiness. As such, my mandated movie is Better Watch Out, a home invasion movie where a babysitter and her young charges are in mortal danger! No seriously, this is one of those movies where kids can die! So, maybe not happy (unless you really don't like kids) but it takes place during Christmas so it totally counts! 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 12:30 - Better Watch Out review 1:03:07 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.

Hunt them down: Wir laufen eine Runde mit THE RUNNING MAN, lassen uns von DIE UNFASSBAREN 3 - NOW YOU SEE ME noch mal einen vorgaukeln und drehen mit HIM - DER GRÖSSTE ALLER ZEITEN ordentlich an der Style-Schraube. Außerdem kriecht noch DIE MY LOVE in Form von Jennifer Lawrence durchs Unterholz, während sich zwei deutsche Filmemacher mit MAKE ME FEEL auf ganz ambitionierte wie angreifbare Pfade wagen. So weit zu den Kinostarts. Daneben haben Antje und Schröck aber auch noch ein paar schnuckelige Mediatheken- und Streaming-Tipps am Start. Zum Beispiel eine erste Ladung an Weihnachtsgeschichten. Also mehr oder weniger, wenn wir von LAST CHRISTMAS, SILENT NIGHT: STUMME RACHE oder den viel zu unbeachteten BETTER WATCH OUT sprechen. Darüber hinaus geht's aber auch noch um das Körpertausch-Comeback FREAKIER FRIDAY, das Powerhouse-Drama BEATING HEARTS, das Flieger-Abenteuer AIR AMERICA, den klassischen Paul Schrader-Kreuzgang THE CARD COUNTER und Roland Emmerichs historischen Verschwörungs-Thriller ANONYMUS, zu dem wir dann auch noch eine passende Doku bei Arte namens ROLAND EMMERICH - WELTENZERSTÖRER, WELTENERBAUER im Angebot haben. Abgerundet durch einen Veranstaltungshinweis zu CASINO. Demnach: viel Spaß im Kino oder auf der Couch und bleibt so gesund wie drauf. Plus: gute Unterhaltung mit dieser Folge. Ciao.

Joining the podcast today is Chris Peckover, the director of the 2016 Christmas horror-comedy movie Better Watch Out. This program had actually devoted a whole episode to that suspenseful and grimly funny ride last holiday season, so it's only fitting for Chris himself to finally hop into the guest seat. An alternate career path that Chris could have taken, the racist and xenophobic violence of anti-immigrant attitudes, the incel mindset, dark comedy being an important aspect of horror, and what Chris has been working on post-Better Watch Out emerge as some of the talking points for this episode.Spoilers for Better Watch Out start at 26:15Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineChris's Good Word: TaskmasterReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

And boy are we totally not scraping the bottom of the barrel here as we discuss an entry from our FAVORITE (and I do mean favorite) Christmas series and an underseen early 2000s gem set on Christmas Eve.

Does having a brain so big that it's exposed outside of your head mean you're really smart? Is Lin Shaye “eating and leaving zero crumbs”? And is a Nintendo 64 the greatest gift that anyone can possibly receive on Christmas? Listen and find out! Please connect with us on Instagram: @ahhrealfilms and now Bluesky: @ahhrealfilms.bsky.social. You can drop us a line to let us know how we're doing, or to suggest a future topic or film to discuss: ahhrealfilms@gmail.com.

Film critic Alonso Duralde recommends holiday movies: “See You Next Christmas,” “Better Watch Out, “1985,” and “Christmas, Again.”

Money is tight this holiday season so EJ and Rory are forced to babysit Leo for his father Shane Purdy. There's only one catch, Leo would like to review the flick “BETTER WATCH OUT” (aka babysitter nightmare fuel) and then test out all of the Home Alone traps on the FREAKQUELS gang to see if they work the way they do in the movie. Will Rory and EJ put themselves through terrible abuse for a minimal amount of money? Eh, a buck's a buck.
In this festive episode of *Cutting Deep into Horror*, hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi reunite to discuss the chilling 2016 Christmas horror film, *Better Watch Out*. As the holiday countdown crescendos, the duo offers a deep exploration of the movie's unsettling narrative, juxtaposing typical Christmas warmth with dark themes of obsession, violence, and the often hidden scars of childhood trauma.The episode opens with Henrique sharing his longstanding tradition of expressing feelings during the holidays, a sentiment that suddenly contrasts with the grotesque events of the film they are about to dissect. Rachael joins in with her customary cheer, setting the tone for a night that will delve into the darker side of Christmas cinema while reckoning with heavy topics like trauma and mental health.As they situate the film within a broader context of Christmas horror, the hosts introduce listeners to the lead character, Luke, a seemingly innocent 12-year-old with sinister intentions towards his babysitter, Ashley, played by Olivia DeJonge. The pair dissects the layers of Luke's character, illustrating the blurred lines between childhood innocence and emerging psychopathy while discussing the film's various clichés and themes.

The hosts cover the rise of Luke's dark humor and cold calculations, leading to brutal moments that leave the audience in stunned silence. The meticulous details in his planning are highlighted as the conversation draws close to the shocking climax.With palpable intensity, the conversation intensifies when discussing the violent escalation that ensues, particularly the twisted finale and the chilling aftermath. Their commentary opens up discussions about the psychological implications of the characters' actions, the film's dark humor, and the commentary it makes on how childhood trauma can manifest in malignant ways. With visceral storytelling and layered characters, *Better Watch Out* stirs deep discussions about morality, innocence lost, and the societal taboos surrounding youth violence.Rachael manages to keep the conversation lively despite the grave subject matter, sharing humorous anecdotes about initial misunderstandings surrounding childhood experiences and babysitters, weaving a narrative that draws parallels between their own stories and the film. The duo's chemistry shines as they effortlessly navigate from laughter to laughter, and deep discussions about heavy themes.As they wrap up the episode, Henrique and Rachael give solid recommendations for where viewers can catch the film, ensuring that fans of both horror and holiday cinema find ways to engage with *Better Watch Out*.

This week Megan and Dave talk about director Luca Guadagnino's QUEER (2:28), an adaptation of William S. Burroughs 1985 novel (with a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes). Starring Daniel Craig as William Lee (a Burroughs stand-in), this movie left both Megan and Dave a little bewildered, as there were things they liked (the shooting-up scene, the color palette), and things they didn't like (Drew Starkey's performance as Lee's love interest). Then Evan joins in for FLOW (22:38) an excellent animated film featuring a very cat-like cat and other animals as they survive a catastrophic flood. Finally there's NIGHTBITCH (39:53). Amy Adams becomes a dog (though there's more to it than that) and Scoot McNairy becomes a dope (he's played this part before). What did we think of writer-director Marielle Heller's adaptation of Rachel Yoder's novel? Over on Patreon, we talk about the Christmas horror flick BETTER WATCH OUT.
