Jeremy (Better Watch Out)

Jeremy is the secondary antagonist of the Christmas horror comedy film Better Watch Out. He is the ex-boyfriend of Ashley. He is played by Dacre Montgomery in his first villainous role.

Early Life
Before the events of the film, he dated Ashley but they broke up because he lied about her sleeping with him.

Better Watch Out
Jeremy's voice is heard on Ashley's phone when Luke Lerner is holding Ashley and Ricky hostage. Luke invites over to the house for a visit and at first, Jeremy is too ignorant to do so but eventually agrees and decides to come over.

After Ricky's death and Ashley is captured again, a cocky Jeremy starts boasting about being cool with Ashley and then leaves his car to go into the backyard.

In the backyard, he starts searching for Ashley but trips over a giant slingshot which he throws his alcoholic drink in. As he searches for Ashley, he encounters Luke and is asked to sit down. At first, he refuses but then when he is told about Ashley not wanting to see him, he obliges. After an argument, he finally agrees to write an apology to Ashley but notices that Luke is not there. After getting distracted by the passing black cat, Luke wraps a rope around Jeremy's neck and uses a mower to start hanging Jeremy on the tree. Jeremy then struggles and chokes until he dies of suffocation. However, his death is not very sad because of how he acted and no one's gonna miss him.

After killing Garrett and leaving Ashley to die, Luke then puts Jeremy's fingerprints on the murder weapons and frames him for the murders. However, Ashley survived and will most likely plan to clear Jeremy's name. It's unknown if she succeeds or not.
