Ryan Larson Ghastly Grinning Director McG and writer Brian Duffield deserve a lot of credit for The Babysitter, it isn't groundbreaking but it's a damn fun film that has just enough laughs and just enough gore to keep everyone interested. Jun 24, 2020 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine Despite failing to deliver on everything promised during its first twenty minutes, it should satisfy fans of the genre. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Doesn't break the rules we've come to abide in the genre, if anything it follows them to a tee, but it's delight in being supremely distasteful earns the film a charm that's sorely been missed. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 15, 2020 Full Review James Gates Cultured Vultures Filling a movie with horror archetypes (narcissistic cheerleader, psychotic jock, sassy comedic foil) isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this is a movie that at times feels woefully archaic. Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Essentially a chase movie, but zippy, sexy, darkly funny, and constantly creative, with a fluid sense of space and movement, as well as lots of blood. Rated: 3/4 Aug 23, 2019 Full Review John Tones Espinof Perhaps a script that could have taken better advantage of the idea and the supernatural element would have helped us to forgive their mistakes.
