Here we are introduced to Bee’s cult who check all the slasher film character boxes. Expecting to see her canoodling with a boy, he finds his beloved Bee performing a satanic blood sacrifice ritual with her friends in his living room.

Neighborhood friend Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind) convinces Cole to go rogue one night while his parents are away and stay up to see just exactly what Bee does after he falls asleep.

But Cole soon finds out that his dream girl isn’t all she is cracked up to be. Honestly, who could blame him? She’s the ultimate cool girl, who nerds out to Star Trek and Alien, quotes The Godfather Part II, and defends Cole against the neighborhood bullies with a foul mouth and sassy attitude.
THE BABYSITTER 2017 REVIEW MOVIE
But what if the babysitter is the antagonist? What if you had been lured into a false sense of security for years only to find out that the person employed to oversee your safety was using you as part of a ritualistic blood sacrifice to the devil? The Netflix original movie The Babysitter is a fresh take on the horror comedy genre.Ĭole (Judah Lewis) is a geeky, pubescent 12-year old boy who is in love with his babysitter, Bee (Samara Weaving). It’s a common trope in horror films because writers can either use the sex appeal of the young female to her detriment (sex=death in the rules of surviving a horror film) or they can heroize the character by saving the children while the parents are always conveniently out of the picture. What do the movies Halloween, When a Stranger Calls, and Childs Play all have in common? The babysitter character is either the unlikely heroine that saves the day, or the unfortunate casualty.
