Movie: The Babysitter

Where to watch it: Netflix

Spoilers: Yes

Anxious Cole is not ready to stay home alone. Unlike many of his classmates, he still has a regular babysitter. Cole is completely fine with this because he is super close with Bee. When his parents leave for a night out, he is excited to party with Bee. However instead of going to bed, he decides to stay up and see what Bee does when he’s asleep. Turns out that she’s the leader of a cult that commits sacrificial murders in his living room. Bloody chaos ensues when Cole catches them in the act. Members of the cult try to contain Cole, but a series of chance events lets him escape their grasps. When it’s down to just Cole and Bee, she is torn between her desire for survival and her genuine love for him. She offers to take Cole with her and leave town, but Cole realizes that she does not plan to stop killing. In a moment of clarity, he realizes that she will always be the big bad in someone’s life. He lights her spell book on fire. While she’s distracted, he hijacks the neighbor’s midlife crisis hot rod and crashes into his house and crushing Bee.

Rating: B+

Is it worth watching: Yes, this is a fun, campy slasher film. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously. This movie knows it’s a little ridiculous and it embraces that. It has a good cast, starring Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Leslie Bibb, and Ken Marino.

Once upon a time, Sharon was invited to attend a comic convention. She had always wanted to go to a comic-con but thought it was out of her reach. While at this convention, she met Richard who asked her if she could write. She scoffed. Of course she was capable of writing. But then he clarified and asked if she would be willing to a be a writer for TBK Magazine. She agreed. Little did she know that she was signing on to become a podcaster, assistant editor of the magazine, Vice President of a publishing company, best mensch, and a sister. Her whole world would expand for the better after that trip in 2016. She would be forever grateful. The magazine would be her safe haven and the staff would become a part of her family. And still to this day, Richard has not fulfilled his promise of singing the cow song to Sharon. Sharon was born in mid 1980’s and raised in Northeastern Arkansas. She has been married to her childhood sweetheart, Jesse, since 2004. They have two amazing sons. Outside of her official TBK responsibilities, she works as a nurse. She loves theater, costumes, cosplay, and Halloween. She is addicted to Chapstick and will ALWAYS have at least one with her at all times. She despises spiral staircase, escalators, and people that do not understand how four way stops work.
