![]() It did well enough to get a sequel in 2020 with McG hoping for a third film as well. Overall, The Babysitter is a good comedy. Samara Weaving is fantastic, as always, and the rest of the cast are good as well. ![]() It does have a lot of funny moments, with good slapstick and referential humour, but at the same time none of the jokes are that memorable. It’s all light-hearted fun to watch, with nothing coming close to being scary throughout its eighty-minute runtime. It’s closer to a home invasion film, with next to nothing being supernatural about it. Weirdly, for a film about satanists, there’s nothing quite satanic about it beyond the initial ritual. It goes full-on Home Alone at moments as Cole runs around the house, tripping his pursuers over with toys left around on the floor, and using fireworks to take out them out. The violence is over-the-top and goody, and funny to watch. The horrible looking spiders in the crawlspace under the house are probably the most chilling part of the film. The effects are decent, and there’s some eye-wincing moments, but it’s not overly gory. The deaths come quick with police showing up and the satanists making quick work on them. It’s every bit as funny and gory while offering several twists and surprises that build on The Babysitter while still expanding the existing world of Cole and the Blood Cult with a satisfying conclusion. To be clear, it spends no time on the latter. Ultimately, The Babysitter: Killer Queen is a worthy successor to its cult original. It feels very much like a coming-of-age comedy, and then everything changes in an instant when Cole sneaks downstairs in the middle of the night and finds Bee stabbing someone in the head and collecting his blood in goblets with her friends, as part of a satanic ritual.įrom that point onwards there’s a lot of blood, and a lot of death. The Babysitter: Killer Queen spends more time ensuring its characters all ring false in their dialogue and actions than it does explaining the title. It’s essentially just Cole and Bee hanging out, watching films, eating pizza, and deciding on the best sci-fi team ups to destroy the big bad. He witnesses the group sacrifice someone and then they turn on him as he tries to escape.įor the first half an hour or so of The Babysitter there’s no signs that things are going to get bloody. ![]() One night Cole secretly stays up and finds out that Bee and her friends are satanists. Judah Lewis stars as Cole, a twelve year old who is bullied by his classmates for still having a babysitter, Bee (Samara Weaving).
