Parents need to know that The Babysitter is a violent, gory, and sometimes even funny movie with a lot of appeal for teen horror fans. A cult ritual requires human sacrifice and the blood of an innocent, so there's lots of blood dripping, spewing (mostly played for comedy), and spattering everywhere and on….

The Babysitter is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
It’s easy to judge the protagonist of a horror movie from the comfort of a movie theater or from your cozy little couch. But it’s important to remember that they’ve spent their whole lives completely unaware that they’d spend this one night fighting murderers to the death, and that their brains are coursing with panic and their bodies are coursing with adrenaline. It’s frustrating, but not unreasonable, that they would make poor decisions based on fight-or-flight instincts. Usually.
But you might want to draw the line at The Babysitter, a film about a kid who discovers that his babysitter is a maniac, and who at one point escapes the house and proceeds to… run back underneath the house and set up booby traps. There is literally nothing keeping him from running all the way to a neighbor’s house or to the nearest police station. No one is directly behind him. There is no electrified perimeter fence. Nobody will be killed if he doesn’t come back.
To be fair, The Babysitter isn’t trying to be brilliant. It’s a crass teen comedy that ogles young women, makes tawdry sex jokes and oversells every little moment just in case you didn’t get it. The words “WHAT THE F**K” literally fill the screen when our hero, Cole (Judah Lewis), sees his seemingly awesome babysitter, Bee (Samara Weaving), kill somebody. Netflix's The Babysitter stars (from L-R) Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Samara Weaving, Judah Lewis, Hana Mae Lee, and Andrew Bachelor.The problem is that The Babysitter only needs to rely on the smallest amount of internal logic in order to work, as a horror movie or a comedy, and it can’t even get that right. Cole sees his babysitter and her friends commit a horrific act of violence, and now they’re out to get him. Cole, as we learn at the start of the movie, is a bit of a coward, and so he must overcome his fears in order to save his own life and the lives of others.
The Babysitter had potential but director McG treats this material like it’s one of the lamer American Pie sequels. The broadness of the humor detracts from the characters and the story and the horror, instead of complementing them. It may be manic enough to amuse some horror fans, but it’s so immature -- even about its own immaturity -- that it’s ...

Bee attacks from behind. She can’t die, she a hot witch with super strength and, most likely, eternal youth, and some other cool powers. She’ll surely beat town, but now, without the book, she’s had her last wish come true. Director: Joseph McGinty Nichol (McG)
A Netflix original movie starring Samara Weaving, Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Leslie Bibb and Ken Marino it looks shiney, makes great use of it's soundtrack and has a wonderful 1980's vibe about it. Make no mistake this is not a light hearted piece and is overflowing with lashings of violence and gore to go hand in hand with the hilarity.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71% based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Enjoyable if not particularly original, The Babysitter makes the most of its familiar genre ingredients with energetic direction and a killer cast."
