This Christmas-set home-invasion movie isn't all that at first it seems, as a babysitter finds herself having to defend her 12-year-old charge and his best friend,,,but that is only the beginning. The story unfolds in directions that are certainly not expected, and it maintains interest to the very end. The film is also enjoyably sweary, violent and occasionally in poor taste, with engaging and energetic performances by Olivia DeJonge as the unfortunate babysitter and Levi Miller as the boy whom she looks after. To say more would spoil the journey, but the film balances comedy and horror very effectively and is a lot of fun.
