![]() ![]() ![]() She’s white bread, no crust, that tries to evil itself up with some almond butter spread. In the Horror Queerspodcast episode for I Know Who Killed Me, one of the hosts described a character as white bread without a crust and that’s how I see Melanie. The character of Melanie, once again played by Emily Alyn Lind, serves as Weaving’s replacement but she is a pale stand-in. A few extra ingredients have been added but it’s basically the same story, only wackier. The Babysitter used her relationship with Cole to jump-start the plot, but she’s no longer around so the sequel has to find another way to introduce the story that’s more or less the same. This is likely a result of Samara Weaving’s absence. Just when Cole thinks that things are finally starting to look up, the lake becomes the setting for yet another bloodbath.Īs I said, the sequel has a clunky beginning. They all think he suffered a psychotic break, so when he finds out that his parents are planning to commit him to a psychiatric school for troubled teens, his neighbor/best friend Melanie talks him into skipping school to hang out with friends at a lake party. He’s made the same mistake that a lot of horror movie survivors make which is tell people what they’ve experienced. The Babysitter: Killer Queen picks up two years after the events of the first film and Cole is about as well off as he was before. It knows that it’s not better than the original and embraces it, dives headfirst into the weird without bothering to second guess whether such a decision is a good idea or a bad one but like it’s predecessor, it has a unique wit.īy the way, if it feels like director McG sounds familiar but you can’t pinpoint the name, he’s the same McG that appears under the title “Executive Producer” for every single episode in every season of Supernatural. It’s got a clunky beginning, somewhat boring CGI kills, a weak ending, and a few poorly developed plot twists yet, it is remarkably self-aware. Like most sequels, Killer Queen is nothing special. However, where The Babysitter was a clever horror-comedy, Killer Queen is a dumbed-down guilty pleasure. The Babysitter: Killer Queen! Cole Johnson a.k.a the Channing Tatum of murder (an actual quote from the film) returns to once again battle the Satanic cult that terrorized him years before. It’s a witty, slumber party slasher and I was thrilled when they announced a sequel with the original cast. A lot of people like trashing it but I have no shame in my love for it. 2017’s The Babysitter is one of my favorite movies.
