The Babysitter: Killer Queen

Director McG’s Netflix horror-comedy “The Babysitter” about a pre-teen (Judah Lewis) discovering his babysitter (Samara Weaving) is the head of a devil-worshiping cult that needs his blood was a pleasant surprise in 2017.

The film didn’t break new ground, but it was a solid, fun B-movie powered by a terrific lead performance from Weaving. The script by Brian Duffield was clever and featured better defined characters than you might expect for this sort of fare. A sequel isn’t unwelcome.
