Critics Consensus

Enjoyable if not particularly original, The Babysitter makes the most of its familiar genre ingredients with energetic direction and a killer cast.

Ghastly Grinning

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.

3.5/5

Despite failing to deliver on everything promised during its first twenty minutes, it should satisfy fans of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

The AU Review

3.5/5

Doesn't break the rules we've come to abide in the genre, if anything it follows them to a tee, but it's delight in being supremely distasteful earns the film a charm that's sorely been missed.

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.

3/4

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.

Perhaps a script that could have taken better advantage of the idea and the supernatural element would have helped us to forgive their mistakes. [Full Review in Spanish]

This movie was GREAT. What a great flipped in your head idea for a horror movie. For the first few mintutes you almost feel like your watching some children’s pg movie or something of that nature all until you see someone get stabbed in the head and the words "what the f***" literally appear on the screen. That’s the point when this film really gets going. It’s a lot of fun with some great humor. Kudos to Netflix for getting their name on it.

A fun style that keeps you entertained but not much substance beyond over the top silliness.

Although most people criticize the stereotypical roles on the killer cast; I believe that because of how well they were acted out-weighed the commonality of the characters. This movie is pure suspense and action the whole way through, I would highly recommend to horror movie regulars!!
