RW685 - Bonus - Better Watch Out

 


In this Christmas episode of The Rewatch Podcast, Cory and Eoghan have too much to deal with as they discuss Better Watch Out.

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

The original title was Safe Neighborhood.


The film was shot in Sydney, Australia, in January and February 2016. It was originally set to be filmed in South Carolina for $500,000 when director Chris Peckover was approached by Australian producer Brett Thornquest, who offered a $3 million budget to shoot the film in Australia after hearing Peckover's mother was an Australian native.


In May 2017, North American distribution rights to Better Watch Out were acquired by Well Go USA, which released the film theatrically and through video on demand on October 6, 2017. In Australia, it was released in select theaters on November 23, 2017, by Rialto Distribution.


The film received generally positive reviews for Peckover's directing, the film's twists and the performances of the cast, but drew some criticism for its tonal inconsistencies and ending. It grossed $188,756 on a budget of $3 million.
