![]() ![]() In the end, The Babysitter becomes a modern-day Home Alone slasher wrapped up and ready to be played on Netflix, and I was completely sold on it. Nor does it excruciatingly drag them out. The film does not over dramatise its gags. ![]() What it becomes is a thrilling, amusing and sportive game of cat and mouse as Cole has to avoid getting murdered by Bee and her cult friends. The Babysitter starts off as the typical American high school drama that could force you to hit that snooze button any minute. What he did not know is that Bee is part of a violent satanic cult, that sticks knives in people’s heads. I was glad that I was right when Cole’s best friend asks him to investigate what goes on after he falls asleep. These babysitters do not exist, or if they do I was extremely unlucky when I was younger. He is also charmed by her because, in terms of the narrative, Bee is a super geek that understands intergalactic battles, sets up outside cinemas and speaks in movie quotes. Luckily for him, his babysitter is smoking hot, in the form of character Bee (Samara Weaving), so naturally, as a young boy that is about to hit those doomed teenage years, he does not care. The movie opens up with 12-year-old high-school boy Cole (Judah Lewis) regularly bullied, overly doting and smiley parents, lacks social skills and is the only kid within his limited social circles to still have a babysitter. ![]() I did not read the description and whilst I sat there sipping my first morning coffee and soggy Weetabix, it turns out that I fairly liked Netflix Original The Babysitter. At a second glance, you would see the general premise below the bloodied up title, declaring a running time of one hour and twenty-five minutes, and naturally, you would think, well, this is going to be precious time I will never get back. At a glance, you would believe that The Babysitter is going to be the usual recycled garbage that Netflix churns out on a fortnightly basis just to keep the thumbnails fresh. ![]()
