![]() ![]() It might if there was a purpose to it, but it’s one of those shots that’s done for no reason related to the plot. There is no valid reason for this other than the director knowing how to make the shot work and thinking it looks cool. ![]() Some of the jokes really just don’t work and feel out of place, such as one ‘joke’ where Cole and his friend Melanie (Played by Emily Alyn Lind) are talking at the front of the bus while everyone behind them is in slow motion. Much like Snatched, this film takes a solid half an hour to become interesting and that’s a little longer than a film like this really should. Things turn a little sour when they sacrifice a random guy they picked up in order to appease the devil and Cole now has to survive a night with five fairly crazy 20-somethings who want to kill him… not an easy night for a 12-year-old. One night Cole stays up late and sneaks out to see Bee with a bunch of her friends. His babysitter Bee (Played by Samara Weaving) who is always there for him to give him advice or just make him feel like less of a kid when they hang out while his parents are off at a hotel having sex. Basically, his life sucks except for one thing. The Babysitter follows the story of Cole (Played by Judah Lewis), a scared boy with a lot of problems including bullies, an inability to drive a car and being regularly called a pussy. Turns out the answer, much like an overused Facebook status, is “It’s complicated” The Babysitter asks a very simple question, “What would happen if the babysitter was the antagonist instead of the protagonist?”. This was the case in the classics like Halloween or When A Stranger Calls where the main protagonist of the film was a babysitter. Usually, the babysitter is the victim of the crazy man going around the town killing people. The character of the babysitter in a horror film is one of the more common tropes.
