You watch the trailer and immediately think “Here we go… Another trashy Netflix movie”. I had to be asked a few times to watch this movie. I’m glad I did.
This is a surprising gem in Netflix movies. The violence is over the top and not realistic at all but the movie shares a little Scott Pilgrimish vibe that helps make you laugh (and cringe at times) and look passed the silliness.
Great performances by the cast help you invest in these characters. You really want to see the bad guys lose even though they’re pretty funny.
Netflix was also able to keep it’s politics out of this one, making it far funnier than their usual comedies.
The Babysitter sits as a surprisingly decent horror comedy film that, and I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I would actually recommend to people.
