The Babysitter (2017) ... What a blast!

When you think about who directed this movie, you laugh. "McG" directed this, and we can't take a guy with a name like that seriously now, can we? He directed Terminator: Salvation, for fuck's sake! While he always struck me as a bit of a tool, I guess his heart was in the right place. Here, with Netflix's new Friday the 13th release "The Babysitter"... he might have finally redeemed himself!

So here we have a 12-year-old protagonist, who's a bit of a loser. He sucks at life, but at least his babysitter is hot as fuck. No, really! She seems too good to be true, and she absolutely is!

This movie is kinda goofy, kinda meta, and definitely violent. But if I'd describe it as anything... this movie is fun. I was thoroughly engaged, and while I normally hate kids as the lead actors in movies, I thought this kid was alright. Still, that babysitter was mighty fine... Plus, Bella Thorne plays a psycho cheerleader, so that's always a plus. Then, there's also a girl his same age who looks a lot like Chloe Grace Moretz. Just needed to be said...

What a movie though! Recommended.
