Becky

Don’t mess with Becky, Lulu Wilson is Becky, a rebellious young girl who has lost her mother to cancer and now lashes out at the world about it. Picked up from school by her father, Joel McHale, they are off to their lake front cabin in the wood conveniently in the middle of no where. Oh yeah and her father’s soon to be fiancĂ© and her son are also coming to this trip at the cabin. There’s a problem though because Kevin James and three other inmates have escaped their prison transport and have shown up at the cabin looking for a key, don’t ask what the key is for, seriously don’t. What they did not count on is young Becky and her ultra violent Home Alone style make shift weapons and booby traps. I am going to be kinder on this movie than I probably should be, basically because I just had a damn fun time watching it, sure it has several super gory and grotesque scenes, highly unbelievable moments, though I found Wilson’s entertaining and Kevin James is just so damn charming as a villain you love to hate. End of the day it is a home invasion movie, though it does some different things at the beginning there is so fun editing flipping back and forth between Wilson and James setting up these two as combatants. Home Invasion movies are a dime a dozen nowadays especially with all the streaming platforms because honestly you have one or two locations and a handful of players its quick to turn these out, the kill styles set it apart from the invasion pack. It’s bloody and over-the-top at times, if your looking for an action ride until the mainstream movies get rolling again I would give Becky as shot, maybe skip the popcorn if you have a weak stomach to graphic violence.C.
