The Babysitter Ratings & Reviews
Ghastly Grinning
Ryan Larson
Director McG and writer Brian Duffield deserve a lot of credit for The Babysitter, it isn't groundbreaking but it's a damn fun film that has just enough laughs and just enough gore to keep everyone interested.
Cultured Vultures
James Gates
Filling a movie with horror archetypes (narcissistic cheerleader, psychotic jock, sassy comedic foil) isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this is a movie that at times feels woefully archaic.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Essentially a chase movie, but zippy, sexy, darkly funny, and constantly creative, with a fluid sense of space and movement, as well as lots of blood.
Dread Central
Matt Donato
McG's hilarious and gruesome occult comedy proves Samara Weaving's worth seventy-billion times over, turning her into the new genre "it" girl overnight.
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
The Babysitter is the same, tired tropes wrapped up in an overwhelmingly sexist package.
The Daily Times (Tennessee)
Amanda Greever
The Babysitter tries to harken back to the slasher films of the '80s, and on some levels it succeeds.
Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)
Kiera Allen
The Babysitter has meticulously placed laughs (and music) when needed, but the standout laughs come from Andrew Bachelor (who plays John), better known as King Bach from his laugh-inducing, viral Vine videos.
Film Inquiry
Nathan Osborne
Because of some impressive performances, solid direction and bold decisions, it's difficult not to have fun with Netflix's latest creation.
Decider
Josh Sorokach
Clocking in at a crisp, succinct 80 minutes, The Babysitter is an enjoyable, breezy film that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
Violent, gory horror movie has some laughs, too.
The Young Folks
Justin Carreiro
This is a fun flick that doesn't take itself too seriously, and it gives us more to enjoy than only the tired clichs were meant to *not* expect.
The Daily Dot
Eddie Strait
The Babysitter has its moments to be sure, but you'll probably forget about it by the time Netflix auto-plays whatever is next.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Jacob Knight
Perhaps the most infuriating element of The Babysitter is that it feels like a horror movie made by someone who doesn't necessarily like horror movies, and is taking this odd opportunity to sort of laugh at the genre.
Consequence
Blake Goble
It's insulting. Unfunny. Blunt. It'll leave a hell of a bitter taste in the mouths of general audiences and horror nuts alike.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
A funny, bloody blast.
IGN Movies
William Bibbiani
It may be manic enough to amuse some horror fans, but it's so immature -- even about its own immaturity -- that it's difficult to recommend.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A great horror comedy with a genuinely touching tale of growing up tucked underneath the buckets of blood, and Satanism.
Den of Geek
David Crow
For those who seek only the most basic diversion of blood and curvy stimulation, The Babysitter might fit the bill this Friday the 13th, but this intended trashy fun is really just trash.
