Movie Review:
“The Babysitter: Killer Queen” was directed by McG and is the sequel to the first horror comedy just called “The Babysitter”. I enjoyed the first film, and I felt the same way about this one. This is a funny/scary movie with some over the top and gruesome kills. Judah Lewis returns to play Cole who is still living in fear after what happened to him in the first film. Lewis’ character Cole is an older teenager who just wants to survive high school, but outside forces interrupt his life once again but no one believes him. Emily Alyn Lind returns as his best friend and childhood crush Melanie. She has a bigger role this time around, and I liked how her character has some surprises for the audience. In my opinion, the standout and show stealer is a new character Phoebe played by Jenna Ortega. She is a strong female character who brought some humor to the movie, too. I also liked the relationship that blossoms with Cole as they team up to defeat the evil cult; they had great chemistry together. Later in the movie you find out that Phoebe also has a dark past and something happened to her when she was a child that makes the two of them even more likable. Cole and Phoebe's relationship was the heart of the movie and I think that was the best part. Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell, King Bach and Hana Mae Lee were the killer cult who come back from the dead and try to kill Cole and these scenes were hilarious. However, sometimes the movie was a little too gruesome and over the top silly, and the character of Melanie seemed unrealistic at times. This movie gets the job done – it is full of horror but does it in a comedic way. I am giving “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
