Tune in as the program keeps the holiday season rolling onward for the second week of December! This time around, filmmaker friend Robyn Zabukovec (https://twitter.com/thefinalgirly?s=21) hops back into her guest seat for a breakdown of Better Watch Out, the 2016 Christmas horror-comedy that follows a 17-year-old babysitter and a couple adolescent boys as they try to fend off a home invasion during Christmastime. An arachnophobic actor summoning up the guts to work with real huntsman spiders on set, a PSA against drunk driving, and a thematic correlation that this movie may share with Adventure Time comprise some of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Chris Peckover, Better Watch Out stars Olivia DeJonge, Levi Miller, Ed Oxenbould, Aleks Mikic, Dacre Montgomery, Virginia Madsen, and Patrick Warburton.

This week, we're kicking off our all-winter series for the month of December with the 2016 twisted home invasion horror Better Watch Out!
Seasons Greetings everyone! We're taking a month off franchises and raising our glasses to toast some of our favorite one off holiday and Christmas inspired horror movies. Up first we have the black comedy "home invasion" thriller from Chris Peckover, Better Watch Out. This is one of the more divisive titles we covered as fans either love how it subverts the viewers expectations when it pulls the rug out from them at the end of the first act, or they can't stand Luke, the smiling, slimy central antagonist that oozes privilege, sociopathy and toxic masculinity. All this wrapped in a package that subverts those warm and fuzzy memories of the John Hughes teen comedy and family friendly movies of the 80s and 90s. It's a fun discussion with Mike, Devaughn, Nichole and special guest Jason Seaver of the Boston Horror Society.

Alonso Duralde, podcaster extraordinaire and author of "Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas," returns to IDMB for the annual tradition of Christmas recommendations - this time with a bloody twist. On brand for 2020, Alonso's recommendations for this year are Christmas horror films and they're not the ones you'd expect: Curtis Harrington's Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972), Lewis Jackson's Christmas Evil (1980), and Chris Peckover's Better Watch Out (2016).
E visto che ci stiamo avvicinando al grande giorno, non potevo farmi cogliere impreparato, consigliandovi qualche film "natalizio" un po' diverso dagli standard abituali. Un film cattivissimo, con un protagonista ancora più cattivo, che odierete, ve lo posso assicurare. Scary Christmas inizia come home invasion per poi virare completamente, spiazzando e sorprendendo lo spettatore, che rimane invischiato in una storia horror nel quale il Natale diventa folle e sanguinoso. Una notte terrificante, nella quale la babysitter Ashley dovrà tentare il tutto per tutto per sopravvivere. Un piccolo grande film, di sicura originalità e qualità, diretto con maestria e interpretato da un cast tutto in parte. Consigliatissimo!

The movie -- which managed to scar an entire generation of children in the '80s -- isn't just Peckover's favorite horror flick, it also offers a masterclass in how to deliver scares without losing sight of character, setting, or storyline.

Merry Christmas, this week we're taking a look at all things Chris Peckover's 2016 holiday horror Better Watch Out.

Flying under the radar, it none the less has a small and loyal cult following. But why?
Is it really the most wonderful time of the year? In this Christmas episode of Chick Flicks, Bridget and McKenzie discuss two horror movies set at Christmastime: Gremlins and Better Watch Out. Directed by Joe Dante in 1984, Gremlins stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, and legions of pseudo-furbies. Is this movie racist? We think yes! Directed by Chris Peckover, Better Watch Out was released in 2016 and stars Olivia DeJonge and Levi Miller. Does this film fall into the very toxic cliches it was trying to avoid? Maybe!

It's our biggest episode yet as we finally crack triple digits! We go big with episode 100 as we discuss the horror classics The Shining and The Exorcist.
Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Christmas horror films have been a reliable subgenre of the terror film. With such cult classics as Silent Night Deadly Night and Gremlins, December 25th has turned out to be a pretty good day to get some terrifying frights. An Australian-American produced movie entitled Safe Neighborhood played the festivals in 2016. Not only did it get great reviews but when it was re-titled Better Watch Out and released wide in 2017, Rottentomatoes gave it an outstanding 88% good reviews. Twelve year old, Luke, is still considered too young to be home alone, so his parents, off to a Christmas party, hire Ashley, his long time babysitter to watch over him. Luke is a bit silly. He thinks that the seventeen year old Ashley would be interested in dating him. This isn’t anything harmful. It’s just a crush on the hot babysitter. While watching, ironically, a Christmas horror movie, something strange happens and their lives may be at risk. The film was considered one of the most highly anticipated festival films to come in 2017. Also co-starring Virginia Madsen and Patrick Warburton, the film is directed by newcomer Chris Peckover in what some say is a breakout for the man behind the camera. Dark Discussions takes a look at this new movie and gives their critique. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM

Parolier hors pair, premier rappeur technique, trait d’union inédit entre le rap jazzy et la french touch naissante dans les années 90, MC Solaar revient après dix ans d’absence et se retrouve dans un entre-deux musical étrange, trop loin du rap game et simultanément trop éloigné de la pop pour susciter l’intérêt du grand public. Solaar est un joueur, il aime se lancer des défis et n’a pas peur d’essayer des choses nouvelles : trap, afro-pop et G-funk se retrouvent sur “Géopoétique”. Mais même si Claude MC rappe toujours aussi bien et s’adapte au niveau du flow, tout cela part dans tous les sens avec trop d’intentions à la fois. A vouloir en faire des tonnes, son écriture fine tombe à plat, et l’ancien précurseur veut tenir sa réputation pose des jeux de mots datés, insistants, trop décalés.

Secondo Nanni Cobretti, il FrightFest 2017 è stato un festival in tono minore. Il suo personale podio è rappresentato da: «Mayhem» (di Joe Lynch) - «El bar» (di Álex de la Iglesia) - «Better Watch Out» (di Chris Peckover).A corredo, Nanni ci racconta «Death Note» (di Adam Wingard), «Leatherface» (di Alexandre Bustillo e Julien Maury) e di «Inside» (di Miguel Ángel Vivas), che è il remake dell'esordio di Bustillo e Maury, presenti in sala al momento della proiezione. E anche di un film italiano, «In un giorno la fine» (di Daniele Misischia).
