the aussie boy's thoughts
McG’s abnormally fresh horror-comedy manages to provide the ordinarily witty construction of pushing excessively bloody deaths through touches of humour, but he’s also designed these quirky, witty and hot cult members. Overall, this gory, pacy and funny cult ritual movie with a truly humorous perspective will appeal to teens., and they’ll enjoy it.
The babysitter, as strongly suggested in the title, is played by a surprising and very “hot” Samara Weaving who definitely fits the uniquely striking role. However, her character and the cult members are actually specifically attractive and witty. Bella Thorne and King Bach are also equally as surprising, but Robbie Amell’s shirtless Max is the most memorable. Their characteristics are very witty, unique and their appearances are obviously good-looking.
But the film is focused on the perspective of Judah Lewis’ underdog preteen, and The Babysitter is mainly directed at the sense of hunt throughout a single night. There’s plenty of jokes and just laughable occurrences, and it usually remains at an entertaining pace. Director McG definitely portrays the fun horror-comedy concept alike no other could do it.
