Ralph R The Babysitter is a fun, bloody, and stylish horror-comedy that kicks off with a great setup. The camera work in the opening scenes is clever, subtly switching perspectives to bring us closer to Cole's world, which adds a nice touch to the storytelling. The character buildup for Cole is solid and gives the movie a strong foundation. However, I felt the decision to focus almost entirely on Cole and not dive deeper into Bee's character was a missed opportunity. For a movie named after her, Bee deserved more backstory or emotional depth to balance out the story. The pacing picks up nicely in the second act, delivering a mix of absurd deaths, fast-paced action, and quirky humor that feels both chaotic and entertaining. The climax does its job in tying up Cole's arc, but it's hard to ignore the plot holes that pop up along the way. Still, the ending lands well enough to leave you feeling satisfied. The direction is decent, and the cinematography stands out with its vibrant visuals and sharp editing. The music is a highlight, perfectly matching the tone, though I couldn't help but feel that having a proper score would've added more impact in certain moments. Overall, the movie is a campy, lighthearted watch with a lot of energy. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which works in its favor, but it's far from perfect. If you can overlook the occasional lack of logic and embrace its over-the-top nature, you'll have a good time. It's a fun ride but could've been even better with a bit more depth and polish.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Omari S Despite the movie being a classic lovable character has a murderous secret movie, this film has its own charm that makes it different from other slashers. Its teen protagonist keeps the movie funny and a certain niche of horror that caters towards teens. Even with the raunchy humor and all this movie is hilarious at times and keeps you on edge. The ending was just incredible too, only adding onto how fantastic this movie is. I will die by this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review George J I had no expectations when I started this movie and I was pleasantly surprised, Different concept from other same genera movies but it worked. Second one was just as good Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review SkyRo P "The Babysitter," featuring Bella Thorne and an ensemble cast, falls short in terms of its writing, direction, and editing. The movie gives off a sense of being hastily put together, resulting in a rushed and disjointed narrative that feels inappropriate and lacking in substance. The film teeters on the edge of being nonsensical and fails to live up to the expectations it initially sets up, leaving behind numerous plot holes and unfulfilled promises. Overall, it comes across as poorly executed and fails to engage or entertain viewers effectively. Given these shortcomings, I personally did not find "The Babysitter" to be a worthwhile watch and cannot recommend it to others. The film's flaws in its storytelling and overall execution make it a disappointing viewing experience that ultimately falls short of delivering a compelling narrative.
