I may take issue with Samara Weaving, but a fun movie's a fun movie. End of story. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Robbie Amell in this, who in the past has always disappointed me. Those small praises aside, _The Babysitter_ is not exactly groundbreaking cinema, and while I certainly enjoyed having it on in the background to a certain degree, I didn't get enough from it to say it's outright worth your time. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

The Babysitter is a fun, over-the-top horror/comedy, which will have very polarizing opinions, depending on the viewer. I'm quite sure The Babysitter has some deep flaws. There are certainly some issues with the logic, probably anyway. Maybe the characters are a little one-note. The thing is, I was having way too much fun to care. From the comic-book text overlays to the major twists and turns to the child-engineering-prodigy trope to the humor-gore, I really, thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The tone started off as a comedy/coming-of-age story, but when it decided to delve into horror, it really delved into horror. It kept some of the comedic and coming-of-age elements, but from the first instance of horror on, it was without a doubt a horror movie, just a dang fun one. I'd imagine this is a rather polarizing film. Either people will love some of the wackiness, or they'll feel it gets in the way of what The Babysitter could be. From some people, there will be eye-rolling and snickering, and from others, there will be belly laughs and big smiles. I highly recommend checking it out, but don't go in expecting a serious movie, or you'll be rather disappointed.

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. This is surprisingly gruesome and self-aware, and is just filled with odd, but entertaining moments throughout the movie. They do an excellent job of building atmosphere throughout the movie, mostly intensity of whichever situation is happening. There is plenty of humor mixed in, and a great story. The ending is admittedly a little iffy, but they clearly have some sort of plan in mind.
