The Babysitter (2017)

[Rated TV-MA]

The events of one evening take an unexpected turn for the worst for a young boy trying to spy on his babysitter. --IMDB

Gore - 5

The gore was awesome. They were really extra and the blood splatter was extreme. I liked how most of the kills were different and not boring.

Scariness - 2

Not really scary but some tense moments.

Creepiness - 1

Not creepy.

Plot - 4

I went back and forth between a 3 and 4 on the plot, so I had to watch it again. I must say, I enjoyed it more the second time around. I didn't really know what to expect the first time, so I was way more critical. What I really liked about this movie is how the kid didn't annoy me. He actually made pretty good choices, for the most part. This is definitely a dark comedy and it does a good job of that. There were a couple plot holes in the story line and I would've liked more of a back story, even a small one, on the bad guys. Maybe they are prepping for a sequel.

Effects - 5

Great effects on kill scenes. I also enjoyed how some shots were done from what seemed like a first person perspective.

Extras:

• There is a post-credit scene
