Netflix the babysitter review1/29/2024 It is quite ridiculous at most times, and the over-the-top performances seem more parodical and satirical than anything, but I think that’s what helps build the foundation of the film. I went into the film expecting something fun. I enjoyed the first flick and was excited to know that Netflix greenlit a sequel. There are even some throwback elements with a grindhouse-esque vibe to provide some backstory for our members trying to off Cole. This mean more blood, more violence, and more obnoxiously gory mishaps. The comedic level in the sequel has definitely been raised, and it seems McG was aiming for a film that was supposed to be much more fun than its predecessor. Reprising their roles are Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Andrew Bachelor, Hana Mae Lee, as well as Samara Weaving. The battle for Cole’s “blood of the innocent” is back in full swing, and Cole must again fend off against the eclectic group of adolescents who need to perform the ritual by sunrise. That is, until the bloodthirsty cult returns, this time with some new friends, to finish what they started two years ago. Before they can have Cole admitted, Melanie convinces Cole to ditch school and come with her and some friends on a trip to a lake for a weekend getaway.Īfter Cole is away, things seem to be much more relaxing. Existing as a social outcast at school and on a concoction of antipsychotics meant to remedy his supposed delusions, it isn’t long before Cole’s parents (played by Leslie Bibb and Ken Marino,) decide he might need some more professional help. With no witnesses besides his best friend Melanie (played by Emily Alyn Lind,) nobody believes Cole’s story of the killer babysitter and the violent blood cult. Picking up two years after the first film, Killer Queen sees Cole in high school. The horror-comedy seemed to score well with audiences in 2017 so a sequel was put into the works. Short version they made a deal with the devil. But, Cole isn’t as helpless and innocent as he looks as he fights for survival against the group picking them off one by one, until the inevitable showdown with his beloved Bee. What was supposed to be a fun night at home with the girl who Cole has developed some adult-like feelings for ends in an all-out blood bath as Bee and some friends try to use Cole’s blood in a ritual sacrifice to Satan. To recap the first flick, Cole (played by Lewis) is left alone with his Babysitter, Bee, for the evening. New to Netflix, The Babysitter: Killer Queen is the follow-up to 2017’s The Babysitter directed by McG and starring Judah Lewis, Samara Weaving, Robbie Amell and Bella Thorne.
