Thankfully, The Babysitter: Killer Queen brought in more of those touches, like the individual backstory segments for Bee’s friends, to showcase more of what worked.Īnd if you’re the type of movie-goer who loves bloody action, this sequel has loads of it in buckets. Together, they heighten the cheesy nature of the film and embrace what makes it off-beat. The strengths are those fourth wall reactions, the slow background pacing whenever Cole and Melanie share a tender moment, and the quippy one-liners that make you want to roll your eyes.

The movie sets itself apart by not falling into a cookie-cutter format of a teen horror movie geeky surprises, film references, and slasher tropes appeared periodically to craft the tongue in cheek demon story. Unfortunately for Cole, Bee’s friends return from Hell with a bloodthirsty vengeance to finish their demonic ritual once and for all.Īs a sequel, The Babysitter: Killer Queen matched the stylistic essence of the original film, which is a major positive for both entries. When his parents hit a wall in his “recovery,” Cole decides to ditch school for a weekend of booze, cruise, and possibilities with his best friend and crush, Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind). Cole (played by Judah Lewis), now a high school junior, is socially outcasted by his school and family because no one believes his story about his missing demonic babysitter (Bee, played by Samara Weaving) and her murderous friends. The Babysitter: Killer Queen takes place two years after the events of the first film, with all the cast returning to fill their roles. In this case, however, those retreads were hit and reused repeatedly but in a weaker story. Returning to helm the sequel, McG ( Supernatural series, Rim of The World) infused plenty of the same self-aware campiness and brainless fun that made the original movie a bloody good time.
The Babysitter: Killer Queen knows exactly what type of movie they’re making and the inspirations they’re leveraging for their slasher tropes. By no means is this campy B-horror sequel a serious and provocative flick. Just like its predecessor – The Babysitter (2017) – there’s plenty of blood, guts, gore, and retro movie references to satiate your hunger. The dead (jokes) don’t stay dead on Netflix’s newest horror-comedy sequel, The Babysitter: Killer Queen.
