Becky

A 13-year-old girl faces off against escaped convicts in a lake house, and she becomes the film's most lethal weapon—this is Becky, and it's Home Alone remixed as a survival thriller with genuine stakes. Lulu Wilson transforms from vulnerable kid into a force of nature, delivering a performance that rivals the best prestige-TV coming-of-age brutality (think The Last of Us or early Euphoria). The premise sounds B-movie, but the execution is sharp enough to cut.

The film moves with kinetic precision: tight pacing, inventive kills, and a tone that walks the line between dark comedy and visceral tension without ever tipping into parody. Director Jon Millis understands that the best home-invasion thrillers work because they're intimate, and Becky never lets you feel safe in any room. The craft is lean and efficient—no wasted moments, no bloat.

This is for anyone who loved the resourcefulness of Hush, the character-driven tension of A24's catalog, or the pure adrenaline of a Netflix thriller that actually earns its violence. Becky doesn't ask you to root for a kid; it makes you need her to survive. You'll be thinking about the final act for days—and quoting Becky's one-liners until your friends beg you to stop.
