Overall, there are so many other directions a sequel could have taken based on the first's ending.
THE BABYSITTER KILLER QUEEN 2020 MOVIE
There are several other things wrong with this movie that I didn't get to, but the disappointment is currently overtaking me from writing anymore. On the one hand, it was neat how there was some explanation toward how Bee became the evil person she was, but it also felt like a giant cop out of a storyline. Perhaps most curious was how Bee was Mel's babysitter. It was incredibly disappointing to see such wasted potential. She seemed emotionless, timid, and downright uncomfortable. But in this one, she didn't really make an appearance until the final fifteen minutes and even then it was only a shell of her former self. She was this cool, slick, sexy in-charge chick. Nearly all of the reasons that the first movie was great was based on Samara Weaving playing Bee. Bee was the instigator and also their undoing.
The same applies for all the other evil characters. So, Bee turned Mel evil in order to save Cole and Phoebe from Mel? Makes no sense. But later, it is revealed that Bee cleverly set all those people up in order to protect Cole and Phoebe. We are soon after shown a scene where Bee is egging on Mel to want more and more followers, which suggests that Bee is the mastermind behind all of the cast's resurgences. She says that she joined the cult because she "wants to be an influencer." Wow, how creative. I understand that it was supposed to be a dramatic twist, but come on. Was everyone there ignoring the fact that Bee just disappeared? Did that not raise any flags? What about the fact that four other teenagers were gone as well as two cops? I could go on about this but it was immediately apparent that the viewer just had to accept this major flaw in order to get the sequel, I guess. PLOT HOLESįirst off, the entire premise of the movie is that nobody believes Cole that the events of the first movie happened, since Bee did such a stupendous job cleaning up everything. The entire movie was just too one-dimensional and didn't feel special like the first. I can only imagine how awkward it was rehearsing that scene over and over. I also cringed at Phoebe's introduction scene as it felt overly forced. Some scenes tried too hard to be charming, specifically the fight scene between the two love interests (boring). In this movie, however, nearly all charm was gone. There was a slight sense of humor in many of the scenes and it kept the viewer interested. As a grown man in his late 20s, I would think it would be nearly impossible to be intrigued by a movie starring a little boy. The first film was filled with cute, gimmicky scenes (think video game style scenes). Unfortunately, this movie lost nearly all the charm that made the first one so good was riddled with plot holes and most of all, suffered from a severe lack of Samara Weaving. I loved the first one and was ecstatic to see the sequel. Overall I don't think this is quite up to the standard of the original but it is still well worth watching. I liked the addition of Phoebe, she is a nicely ambiguous character who seems to be a friend who one is allowed to suspect could turn into a final 'surprise villain. The change of location is good the lake in the desert might be very open but it is still hard to escape from. The cast is solid enough and the soundtrack is pretty good. The identity of the new villain is a bit of a surprise but does seem a little forced. assuming you like decapitations and spraying blood and who doesn't!? Having the original villains return was good although sadly we see far less of Babysitter Bee in this one. There are plenty of laughs to be had as well as entertainingly over-the-top gory deaths. I really enjoyed 'The Babysitter' so hoped this would be good too while it isn't as good as the original it still manages to be fun. At least this time Cole has an ally in the form of Phoebe, the new girl in school who is rumoured to have killed her parents. more teens need his blood to do a deal with the devil and the ghosts of those dispatched in the first film are back hoping that by completing the ritual before sunrise they can return to life. Unfortunately for Cole the events of two years ago are going to restart. The day he is due to be sent there Melanie invites him to join her, and a few of her friends, for some fun at the lake. Since he refuses to say he imagined what happened his parents decide to send him to a specialist psychiatric school. Two years after the events of 'The Babysitter' only his friend Melanie believes his version of what happened everybody else, including his parents, think he is delusional. These comments assume viewers have seen 'The Babysitter'.
