The Babysitter (2017)

Cole is a nerdy kid whose parents leave for an overnighter, while Cole is left with his favorite babysitter, Bee. Curiosity leads Cole to spy on his babysitter after bedtime, and he finds that Bee and her friends are up to some horrific things.

The movie rips faster than a drag race as Cole must become the unlikely survivalist hero he was meant to be. Along the way, some gory and hilarious things occur, sometimes at the same time. Sometimes the things that happen are completely absurd, but the horror/comedy tone allow for some suspended disbelief.

The characters are likable enough and the acting is pretty good. The story could have been a bit more involved with a twist or two. McG is not a bad director, but his name still sucks.
