The Babysitter had potential but director McG treats this material like it’s one of the lamer American Pie sequels. The broadness of the humor detracts from the characters and the story and the horror, instead of complementing them. Read full review

It’s insulting. Unfunny. Blunt. It’ll leave a hell of a bitter taste in the mouths of general audiences and horror nuts alike. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing, wonderful, funny, exceptional, excellent, great teen movie, comedic horror... I’m just in love. Netflix is doing totally good this year, like ever. Bella Thorne, funny and pretty; her character, like the entire cast, is good as hell. This is the true about this; cross my heart.… Expand

Best film after home alone, and i think is really better... I really recommend... the film is light, funny and really good to watch. Is not a horror movie so dont judge like this.

Although the story was a bit foreseeable, there were many interesting hints, a good cast, nice comedy and acting. I really enjoyed this movie, quite refreshing.

It's a nice movie, some scenes reminded me of Tarantino as well as the "drag me to hell" and "jennifer's body" ones. I'd watch it all over just to make sure didn't miss a thing of how amazing this is.

Um engraçado horror cómico, com personagens bem desenvolvidas e escritas. A história é emocionante, o suspense está bem presente e a comédia foi pensada para tornar uma experiência positiva para todos aqueles que gostam do género de comédia de terror.

Finally the black comedy that Netflix deserves. Great humor and brilliant brutal scenes. Interesting characters and a lot of situational humor. Main character was annoyed by the little but the babysitter kicks ass.

An annoying, nonsensical waste of time. I’ve heard that this was supposed to be a “horror comedy” but the film falls completely flat in both genres. When your story doesn’t make any sense and is never explained it makes it a little bit difficult to get invested in it. The death scenes alsoAn annoying, nonsensical waste of time.

When your story doesn’t make any sense and is never explained it makes it a little bit difficult to get invested in it. The death scenes also didn’t make any sense to me. It seems the laws of physics, gravity and so on aren’t present in this movie so I’m constantly left scratching my head whenever someone dies. I felt no investment in the main lead and, while not a bad performance, I really didn’t care about his character. This film is an over the top, cartoony, unrealistic mess. And I hated it. But apparently I’m in the minority with that opinion.… Expand
