🍿 The Babysitter (2017) & The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020)
The Babysitter (2017) – Review:
A fast, fun, and bloody coming-of-age horror-comedy. Judah Lewis plays young Cole, a relatable, awkward teen with a cool babysitter who turns out to be part of a satanic cult. The film leans into gore, dark humor, and 80s horror vibes—but it’s grounded by Cole’s emotional journey. It’s stylish, tight, and packed with charm.
Killer Queen (2020) – Review:
The sequel tries to recapture the original’s magic but falls flat. The kills and cast return, but the plot feels forced and the beats are predictable. Older Cole lacks the same emotional draw, and the humor doesn’t hit the same notes.
Final Verdict:
| Film | Pros | Cons | Rating |
|——|——|——|——–|
| The Babysitter | Fun, tight, original energy, great pacing | Minor teen-movie clichés | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ |
| Killer Queen | Slick production, returning cast, gore | Feels stretched, predictable, loses charm | ⭐️⭐️ |
