Our take
A ten-year-old hires her hitman neighbor to fight monsters after her parents die in this stylized family horror fable rated US R for some violence. Assassin fights and child peril follow. Reviews praise style over gore, though the premise is dark. Preview if your teen is sensitive to child-in-danger stories.
Uplifting themes
Protecting the vulnerable matters even when the methods are extreme The neighbor grows into a guardian, though morality stays gray
Story (may spoil tone)
Ten-year-old Aurora asks her hitman neighbor to kill the monster under her bed that she claims ate her family. To protect her, he must battle an onslaught of assassins while accepting that some monsters are real.

Talk after watching
- Aurora treats real violence like a bedtime story. How do kids process grief through fantasy?
- The neighbor kills for a living yet protects her. Can dangerous people still choose to help?
