Prabudhjeet A Slasher humor and a working humor, its good. Its actually entraining. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Daniel M Movie does an excellent job of stabbing you in the heart when the babysitter stabs you in the back. Or the head. In any case, the emotional coming-of-age vibes come to a screeching halt and the film devolves into somewhat campy slasher violence akin to Tucker and Dale vs Evil or Shaun of the Dead. Violent, dark, humorous, and polished. Worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Samuel V It's has some "Home alone" vibe, but much more gory. Not great, but not bad by all means. Acting is pretty interesting with some pretty convincing scenes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Dan I Great movie. Doesn't take itself seriously and has great kills. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Jeff M What a fantastic surprise! This is the horror movie for those who hate horror movies - a funny, clever satire on the genre with tongue firmly chanted in cheek, game performances and an overall sense of fun. In fact, I think this succeeds even more than the SCREAM movies as fun as they are. Lewis is quite wonderful and endearing as our young hero, and Weaving is absolutely hypnotic and plays the titular babysitter perfectly - I'm not ready to call her the next Meryl Streep yet, but she understands exactly what the role needs and couldn't be better or more fun. The movie has a lot of fun skewering the cliched roles we see in most horror movies - the self-absorbed cheerleader, the high school stud who always finds a reason to take off his shirt, the oblivious parents, the bully whose goal in life is to torture the protagonist, etc. One could argue that it goes off the deep end in its final moments, and there are a couple gory moments I could have done without, but overall it's a really good time, and I enjoyed it immensely. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Ricardo d É um bom filme, que remete bem aos filmes dos anos 80/90 com slashers envolvendo babás e crianças e seguindo com humor. A atriz principal é ótima (não só fisicamente), mas tem momentos dramáticos que realmente dá uma certa pena dela, mesmo ela sendo a vilã. Mas como nem tudo são flores, existem alguns furos no roteiro e inconsistências, que se forem vistas cruamente, a qualidade do filme despenca, mas por ter um roteiro ágil, e edição jovial, vale a pena fechar os olhos e se divertir.
