The Babysitter (2017)
TV-MA
Starring Judah Lewis, Samara Weaving, Robbie Amell, Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Andrew Bachelor, Emily Alyn Lind, Leslie Bibb, Ken Marino
Directed by McG
The Story:
Cole (Lewis) is 12, and he's the only kid his age who still has a babysitter. He doesn't really mind when his mom and dad (Bibb & Marino) leave though, because his babysitter, Bee (Weaving) is hot! However, when he finally decides to break curfew and spy on what his sitter does when he's supposed to be asleep, he learns that Bee is not the sweeetheart he was led to believe!
A Netflix original released in time for the holiday season, it's a worthy addition to the horror-comedy genre.
If you've managed to somehow miss this one so far, my recommendation is to avoid the trailer as it's a little spoiler-ific.
Or, if you don't have 90 minutes to spare, watch the trailer and you'll see a lot of the fun condensed into 2 minutes.
The cast is a lot of fun, and the script lets them poke fun at the genre while still never letting go of the fact that this is supposed to be a scary movie.
Amell does such a great job as Max that you almost aren't rooting for him to get killed as the movie goes along. :)
Fun stuff, and I'll be back next year for another round!
Final Grade: B
