If we be frank, obsession is an absolute devil, it can make you do things beyond
your imagination. It doesn’t matter what age you are. Your Obsession can make you go to the
lengths of extremity that usually turn out to be your hamartia. Something along these lines,
we will find in our story of the day. Welcome To Movie Recall. In Today's video,
we will be going through the 2016 Comedy Thriller film : “Better Watch Out”.
It's Time To Recall. Let's Get Started.
Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead! The story starts with a 17 year old girl
named Ashly who comes to a suburban family to babysit their son on Christmas. The little boy’s
name is Luke who is 12 years old. Both of his parents are going to a party so, Ashly is there.
This is not the first time Ashly is babysitting Luke, she has been doing it on and off,
and the little boy has had a thing for Ashly for quite a while. As soon as Luke’s parents leave,
he asks Ashly if she feels like watching a movie. Ashly tells him that she has to make a call and
after that, she will surely watch the movie with him. She then goes on and calls her boyfriend who
is hell-bent on meeting her on Christmas night but Ashly refuses as she is watching over Luke.
After that, they start watching a horror movie. Luke takes out a bottle of champagne and starts
drinking. He does this to show off to Ashly that he is not a kid anymore, he acts like a big boy
and tries to act really cool to impress Ashly. But Ashly snatches the bottle out of his hand and
goes to the kitchen to leave the bottle there. She is still in the kitchen when she receives
a call from Ricky once again and she starts talking and drinking. Luke comes to the kitchen,
picks up the bottle of champagne and they both go to the room and start watching the movie.
While they are watching the movie, Luke tries to make a move on Ashly as he tries to kiss her.
It does not sit well with Ashly, and she stops him, she tells him that he is a kid and that he
should not indulge in such things just yet. Just after this happens, Ashly receives a call
from an anonymous person who tells her that he can see her right now,
Ashly goes to the window, but she finds no one out there. But as she turns toward the window again,
she sees a statue of Santa Clause, seeing that she gets a little bewildered.
Then she sees that the backyard door gets opened on its own. She gets suspicious and thinks that
someone has broken into the house and now they are trying to play some mind games with them.
Ashly rushes towards the door and shuts the door. After that, she asks Luke to give her the phone
so that she could call 911. But as Luke throws the phone toward her, it falls into the aquarium.
After that, someone knocks at the door, both of them get scared but they go towards the
door to check, as they open the door, they find no one out there. After a moment, Luke’s friend
Garret suddenly appears, scaring the hell out of both Ashly and Luke. He seems very happy
with himself for successfully pranking both of them. Ashly asks him whether he was the one making
weird noises out there in the backyard, to which, Garret says that he was never in the backyard.
Just then, they hear the noise of breaking glass from the upstairs room.
Now, Ashly is confirmed that there is someone else who is posing a danger to them.
She grabs a knife and starts going upstairs. When they get to the room, they see that the glass of
the window has been broken. Ashly tries to call the police, but she cannot find the network.
They then go to Luke’s room and try to inform the police using the laptop. But again, they are
unable to get any signals. Ashly then takes Luke downstairs so that she could look for the house’s
security panel. But to her horror, Luke tells her that there is no security panel in their house.
This is when Ashly decides to go to the police but seems like the luck is not with her.
The tires of her car have been punctured. Now, she starts to realize that this seems like a plan,
and they are being trapped. She gets really scared. She locks the door of the house,
and this is when Garret comes downstairs carrying a brick with ‘you leave you die’
carved on the brick. Garret really gets scared and runs out of the house, this is where they hear a
shot and Garret falls to the ground, apparently, he has been shot. Ashly scared for her life,
again shuts the main door of the house. Luke tells her that there is a gun in his
father’s room, but as they go upstairs to get the gun, they find out that someone has already
broken into the house. The guy is carrying a shotgun and he is searching every room.
Both of them go to the attic and hide there. Luke then carefully gets into his father’s room and
gets the gun. They then hide in a closet but to their bad luck, a toy that is already there starts
making a high noise. That noise leads the man into Luke’s room, and he tries looking for them.
This is when Ashly notices that the mask worn by the man is Luke’s mask. Ashly gets suspicious that
it could be a prank and asks the guy to remove the mask. This is when the cat comes out of the bag.
That guy is none other than Luke’s friend Garret. Ashly now understands that Luke and Garret both
planned the whole thing just to impress her. Luke had planned that he would first get Ashly in a
really scary situation and then he would save her, be a hero in her eyes and she will be impressed.
And this is where Luke’s obsession with Ashly starts to reflect in the story.
Their plot gets discovered and Ashly gets extremely pissed off at both of them.
The shotgun carried by Luke, even that gun is a real one. Ashly gives both the boys a piece of
her mind telling them that both of them are out of their minds. She tells Luke that he has gone
mental and he needs therapy. Ashly then goes to call Luke’s parents; Luke follows Ashly and
tries to stop her. He slaps Ashly near the stairs, Ashly falls off the stairs and goes unconscious.
Garret and Luke uses a duct tape to tie up Ashly in the chair. When Ashly comes to her senses,
she asks them to untie her, but they force her to play truth or dare at gunpoint. This is when Ashly
desperately tries to scare the boys by saying that Luke’s parents are about to be home, and she
will tell them everything. Garret gets scared and decides to leave but Luke convinces him to stay.
Luke then tries to get Ashly drunk but she knocks the bottle out of his hand causing it to fall and
break. This is when the doorbell rings and Ashly cries for help, but Luke duct tapes her mouth.
He goes to the door to see who is there and it is Ashly’s boyfriend Ricky at the door.
Luke tries his best to not let Ricky enter the house, but he is insistent. Saying he just wants
to give flowers to Ashly; he enters the house. Just as he goes upstairs to look for Ashly, Luke
tries to hit him with a baseball bat but misses, Ricky grabs him and asks him where is Ashly.
Garret gets there and points the shotgun at Ricky. After that Luke hits Ricky with
a baseball bat right on the head knocking the man unconscious right there. Garret starts to
get really nervous and asks Luke to put an end to this madness. But Luke seems to be having too
much fun being a criminal. They tie up Ricky on the chair next to Ashly. Ashly is shocked to see
Ricky on the next chair. Luke tells her that he is the one who texted Ricky to come here. Garret gets
annoyed over this and asks him why he is doing all this. Luke asks him to go sit in a corner and gets
Ashly’s phone out of the aquarium. The phone was still working, Luke calls Ashly’s ex-boyfriend
Jeremy and invites him to come over. Meanwhile, Ashly manages to get one of her hands free using
a piece of glass. Due to all the tension, Garrett starts smoking weed, Luke’ takes it out of his
hand, and forcibly makes Ricky smoke weed. Then he takes him to the hall and plans to hit him
with a paintcan, just like a scene from the movie ‘Home Alone’. He tries to hit but misses. Garret
gets really unsettled by all of this and asks him to stop. However, Luke wants to try to hit
once more but Ashly manages to get free and gets there carrying a gun, she points the gun at Luke,
Luke drops the paintcan that hits Ricky on the head, and he dies right there at the moment. Ashly
starts crying which makes Luke happy and he smiles like he has triumphed. This is how obsessed the
boy is to prove that he is not a kid anymore. This is what his obsession to Ashly makes him do.
Ashly says that she is going to shoot Luke. But as she tries to shoot, she finds out that
the gun does not have any bullets. She runs out of the house. Luke asks Garret to follow her,
he scares him by saying that if anyone finds out what they have done, they are gonna go to jail.
After hearing this, Garret runs after Ashly, but he is not able to catch her. In the meantime, Luke
gets there and hits Ashly with a brick on her head knocking her unconscious. They again take her home
and tie her up. Garret then asks Luke, why did he kill Rickey? Luke being the bitchy and shrewd boy
he is, tells Garret that Garrett is actually the one who got high on weed and killed Ricky.
Luke further adds that Garret now has to do whatever he says, this is the only way he can
be safe. Then he asks Garret to keep an eye on Ashly and goes out of the house because he is
expecting Ashly’s ex-boyfriend Jeremy. As soon as Jeremy gets there, he starts looking for Ashly,
but Luke shows up, he tells him that Ashly has asked him to write an apology letter.
On the other hand, Garret who has been scared for quite a while now starts feeling bad for Ashly.
Ashly repeatedly asks him to untie her. Jeremy on the other hand is busy writing the apology
letter for Ashly, as he is writing, Luke gets his neck in a rope, using an engine manages to hang
Jeremy on a tree. Now, he has murdered even the ex-boyfriend of the girl he has a thing for.
Inside the house, Garret decides to untie Ashly and gets started on it.
He then asks Ashly to forgive him for all he has done. He even gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Amidst all this, Luke gets there, upon seeing this he gets really angry and shoots Garret,
Garret does not die with that one bullet and starts crying for help in pain,
Luke again shoots Garret, and this time, the kid dies. Seeing all this, Ashly again goes
unconscious, and Luke stabs her neck with a knife. He now thinks that he has done all he wanted and
seems pretty satisfied with himself. He starts cleaning up the house and sets everything in a way
that it would seem that Jeremy and Ricky got into a fight, and this is also why Ashly lost her life.
After he has set up everything, he goes to his bed and waits for his parents to come home.
When the parents get home, Luke’s mother starts shouting as she sees the chaos,
all the bodies inside her house. She gets worried for Luke and starts looking for him. She goes to
his room and finds him in his bed. A sigh of relief of course for the mother! She calls the
police, the police get there, and Luke acts all innocent and keeps asking them what has happened
in the house, he acts like he does not know a thing and has been sleeping for a long time.
A police officer shouts that one of them is still alive, which scares the hell out of Luke.
When he looks out the window, he sees that Ashly is still alive. When he meets Ashly’s eyes,
she gives him a well-deserved middle finger. The officer tells that she was able to place a piece
of duct tape over the stab wound which stopped the bleeding. This is how she is still alive, and now
she is being rushed to the hospital. Luke then says to his mother that he is really concerned
about Ashly and that he wants to go see her. Well, the boy wants to finish the business.
Yet another story that reflects nothing but the catastrophe that one’s obsession is capable of
causing. It kills! Thanks for watching.
