Anyone who knows me is aware that the older I'm getting the stricter I am with my ratings, so how did a goofy little horror comedy just get a 9/10? Well, because it's actually really damn good.
It tells the story of a scaredy cat weak little boy who still has a babysitter. One night he falls curious to what she does after he goes to sleep and see's more than he ever could have expected.
A Netflix original movie starring Samara Weaving, Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Leslie Bibb and Ken Marino it looks shiney, makes great use of it's soundtrack and has a wonderful 1980's vibe about it.
Make no mistake this is not a light hearted piece and is overflowing with lashings of violence and gore to go hand in hand with the hilarity.
Early on I recognised that the film had a real charm about it but I certainly never expected it to be THIS good. I get the impression this will be one of those odd titles like the infamously hated The Hottie & The Nottie (2008) which folks don't agree with me on but I think this was excellent.
A gory rollercoaster ride that tips its hat to 80's classics but brings them into a new era which I couldn't help but appreciate.
The Good:
Looks great
Solid soundtrack
Perfectly crafted
The Bad:
Nothing immediatly springs to mind
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
We still didn't find out why he was shirtless!!!!
There are spoilt kids, then there is him
It's normally ugly people who are sacrificed
