Review:
Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]

• This is an over the top zany adventure, mixing Home Alone with Scream. While I hoped it would develop the sub-plot of a boy learning life lessons as he escapes from crazies, this goes for excess instead. It doesn't deconstruct horror movie tropes, but it does laugh at them. That is its goal, but it had potential for depth instead of remaining shallow. The Babysitter holds no real surprises, completing exactly what it set up.
