The Babysitter

The Babysitter (2017)

The Babysitter is an absurdly entertaining horror-comedy that mixes over-the-top gore, nonstop laughs, and surprising emotional heart into one of the most fun horror movies of the last decade. Samara Weaving completely owns the screen in a breakout scream queen performance while the entire cast turns this blood-soaked babysitting nightmare into pure chaotic fun.

Why Watch Our Review

We break down why The Babysitter feels like Home Alone written by Stephen King, how Samara Weaving’s mix of charm, comedy, and menace helped launch her into modern scream queen status, and why the movie works far better emotionally than you’d ever expect from a demon cult horror-comedy. We also dive into the hilarious group of villains, the surprisingly heartfelt relationship between Bee and Cole, the wildly creative kills, and the ending that somehow manages to be funny, emotional, and completely ridiculous all at the same time.
