The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) - Movie Review

Okay, after what happened when I tried this last year, I want to make sure I get it right this time. So let’s take it from the top.

The latest release from mediocre action director McG wouldn’t even cause a blip on my radar usually. After 2017’s The Babysitter, a surprisingly fun slice of splatstick horror, I’m willing to give the man another chance. Or, rather, yet another one, since when I tried out Rim Of The World in good faith, I found myself questioning why I ever bothered to give him the benefit of the doubt in the first place. The Babysitter is still an amazing flick, and rewatching it in prep for this follow-up has proven (for me, at least) that it holds up to repeat scrutiny, but maybe it was just a fluke and the only truly great thing McG has ever directed. But now that the sequel is in my hands, I really, really hope it holds up.

100% Wolf (2020) - Movie Review

After the horrors of my last review, I figure there’s nowhere to go but up so why not check out more talking animal schtick?

The Babysitter (2017) - Movie Review

The plot: Shy and meek kid Cole (Judah Lewis) gets picked on by a lot of people in his life. The only major exception is his babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving), who is his best friend. However, when he decides to stay up late one night to see what Bee gets up to when he goes to sleep, he discovers that Bee isn’t quite what she seems and unless he can keep on his toes, he may end up being sacrificed in the most literal way possible.
