Storyline:
Cole (Judah Lewis) is madly in love with his babysitter (Samara Weaving) Bee. She’s hot, funny, and popular. One night, in a moment of defiance, Cole secretly stays up his bedtime to discover she’s actually a cold-blooded killer who’s in league with the Devil. He now must spend his night evading Bee’s band of killers who will stop at nothing to prevent Cole from spilling their dark secret. It’s up to Cole to survive the night (and blow up a few people along the way).
User review:
Let’s start off by saying that this movie will in no way win any awards (apart from maybe a teen choice) or win over the hearts of audiences that are already skeptical to the legitimacy of the genre, but if nothing else, it’s a bloody fun ride (pun intended).
The story is simple enough, twelve year old nerd crushing on his super attractive babysitter, babysitter turns out to be a murderous psychopath, nerd’s gotta get the hell out of dodge, let the games begin! The kills are surprisingly inventive so gore hounds can rest easy in the knowledge that they wont be short changed in that respect. The performances are all decent enough but the stand outs for me have to go to Samara Weaving as the murderous babysitter, a role she clearly relished and had a ball playing, Judah Lewis as the unfortunate victim who delivers a charming and at times rather amusing performance, and Emily Alyn Lind as the young boy’s sweet and loyal friend who impresses with her understated portrayal that convinced me that there may just be bigger and better things for her on the horizon.
Overall, If you’re looking for an hour and a half to kill then there’s definitely worse ways. An enjoyable gore fest that delivers mostly what you’d be expecting with nice tension filled set pieces and a bonkers yet strangely touching finale thrown in for good measure.

By far, the best comedy\horror film in decades; McG directed this wonderful crazy story of a teenage boy
who’s babysitter is very beautiful, fun to be with, until
one night he is told by a girl at school that babysitters wait until you’re asleep to have sex with their boyfriend; curious, he stays up late and he discovers (spoiler alert) that she is a demonic disciple who drinks young boys blood; this is like a Quentin Tarantino movie, very much over the top violence and that’s the secret to this story telling; when I saw the movie trailer, I thought it was too much, but since it featured Judah Lewis (Demolition, Summer of ’84, Christmas Chronicles) who is one of my favourite actors, I watched it on Netflix and loved it; it is presented as a comedy because it’s so ridiculously violent, it’s like Scary Movie, KIll Bill 1, blood by the gallons, very violent, yet the 14 yo manages to stand up to them in amazing ways, for a kid who’s supposed to be shy, he comes out of his shell and dominates the bad guys; I had trouble finding this awesome movie because Netfix doesn’t sell it’s movies on dvd anymore; I finally found someone on eBay that had a Blue-Ray of it for sale, I bought it but don’t have a Blue-Ray player yet, I wanted a good DVD quality copy of it to watch over and over again; I strongly urge the readers to watch it because it is so slick, high quality production, absolutely stunning acting by Bella Thorne (the babysitter) and Judah Lewis (the kid), this should have won an Oscar, no less; a sequel is in the works!
This is just great fun, sequel sucks.
