The Babysitter: Killer Queen

It's actually exactly what I expected it to be, which is certainly not a criticism. Bigger, more witty and bloodier (or more marmalade - lemonade - geyser), slightly sexier and, in the end, rather surprisingly, but at the same time logically, it has a point. If you liked the first episode, you'll be satisfied, if you didn't, then I suppose you won't watch this one. And if you do, then good for you. (24/09/2020)

The sequel to The Babysitter lacks any logic but it was probably necessary to play a little with the screenplay so that the second movie would make at least some sense. But again, it is a lot of fun even though the firmly set pattern repeats itself. Even the director realized that this kind of movie requires more musical numbers than it had in the first movie. But it is a pity that before there is at least some action, the movie is really boring. But it is still sufficient as a chill-out movie. Nevertheless, compared to the first movie it is just half way there. (24/09/2020)

For every great idea there are three illogical misfires that completely miss the mark; for a few good-hearted jokes, you have to endure a substantial batch of completely off base (the parents) or repeated "sound bites" (also the parents). In short, a sequel that rushes forward at an even more frantic pace than the original and does so with unexpected twists – only to deny key characters any development while creating it, but surprisingly even the end of the first installment as part of creating the premise. It is incredibly frustrating to see how the main character's family, friends, and the authorities urge him to be normal, even though the things they are talking about have clearly happened. The Babysitter: Killer Queen has humor in it, with an incredibly likable cast of actors, and Jenna Ortega shines in it. However, there were so many blows to the face of logic that the door to a sequel simply has to remain closed. (05/12/2020)

The first installment was quite a passable black comedy slasher movie. However, in the sequel, the creators seemed to have forgotten the concept of "less is more" in terms of profanity. If I were to express my true feelings about this movie, I'd have to stoop to the level of language used in it, and frankly, I'd rather not. So, let's sum it up. The script was weak, the effects in some scenes were laughably bad (like Bambi's death), and the characters were mostly unlikable. To top it all off, the film was definitively ruined by an incredibly stupid ending that left me scratching my head. It's a shame I don't believe in Satan because I'd gladly send the writer straight to hell's boiler. (21/03/2022)

I watched the sequel to The Babysitter only a few moments after the first one, which had its advantages and disadvantages. I didn't have to remind myself of the plot and I noticed many references to the previous part - which is where the disadvantages lay: not only is it a murder-mystery, it is also a total rip-off of the first one, which only pushes the plot into more absurdity and in many places goes against the logic of its predecessor. Jenna Ortega was fine, but her presence didn't help, while Emily Alyn Lind was downright cringeworthy. The very end of the film was just the bitter icing on this bizarre bloody cake. (12/09/2023)
