Storyline

Cole (Judah Lewis) loves his babysitter (Samara Weaving) Bee. She's hot, funny, and popular. One night, in a moment of defiance, Cole secretly stays up past his bedtime to discover she's actually a cold-blooded killer who's in league with the Devil. He now must spend his night evading Bee's band of killers who will stop at nothing to prevent Cole from spilling their dark secret. It's up to Cole to survive the night (and blow up a few people along the way).

Shouldn't be good but it really is

Saturday afternoon.

I want something to watch that won't make me think and I can just zone out to.

I started watching the babysitter thinking I would be turning it off within a few minutes and putting some other low rated b movie on.

Well, I've been treated to a stylish, fun, funny, silly, but well written horror comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously but still knocks it out of the park.

It's like a modern, 18 rated Home Alone with sexier villains.

You really can't go wrong with this movie. A true popcorn flick for a Saturday.

I would still recommend seeing it at night with a date. Just remember to keep your tongue in your cheek and your logic locked away for 90 minutes.
