The Babysitter is a horror comedy that centers around a kid who has an incredibly hot babysitter that is using his house to sacrifice people for her satanic cult. If I were to pitch this film to a studio, I'd say it's Home Alone meets Scream. This is definitely not as good as either of those movies, but it still contains some good horror fun.
Don't go into this film expecting a genuinely creepy horror movie, and you should be relatively satisfied. The goal here was not to make a straight up horror film or a straight up comedy--it was to create a hybrid of the two.
This film is enjoyable, nothing more and nothing less. However, nothing stands out here that will make me remember this for more than about a week.
This review would be longer, but there's honestly not much to talk about here. The film is pretty conventional, and the only performance that stands out is Judah Lewis as the main kid and Andrew Bachelor ("King Bach") as one of the members of the satanic cult.
The Babysitter is a pretty fun film if you want to watch something mindless to get your mind off the stresses of the world, but other than that it is pretty forgettable.
I give The Babysitter a C.
