Cole is a 12 year old who still has a babysitter. For this, and other things, he is bullied. No worries, thought, because his hot babysitter comes to his rescue.

Her and Melanie, a classmate and neighbor, are his only friends.

 

When his parents spend the night at a hotel,to rekindle their marriage,Melanie is daring him to stay up and see what Bee,his babysitter does, after he falls asleep.

 

After having the time of his life, swimming, dancing,cooking, watching movies, with Bee, he goes to sleep. He pretends to drink the alcohol she gives him, and when he hears commotion,he leaves his room.

 

He sees she invited quite a few of her friends,and play Truth of Dare. After Bee has a kiss session with everyone, she k!lls the shy guy she brought as her date,and Cole realizes she and her friends are part of a satanic cult who perform a sacrifice in order to get their dream life.

He finds out he's next, as they want the blood of an innocent,and he decides to stop being afraid (as it's established at the beginning of the movie, he's afraid of everything: of taking the shot,spiders,driving,bullies..) and fight back.

 

The movie had everything, comedy, action, horror..it starts as a coming of age comedy,and turns into a horror.

I loved the way it was shot, the colors which are vibrant,full of light,giving the feeling it's late summer.

The movie was directed by McG, who directed 2000's Charlie's Angels, being shot in the same style, so if you liked those movies, you're gonna like this one too.

The movie is pretty graphic, there's a lot of blood. I didn't understand why would one do what these people are doing in someone else's house, as they damaged it,at first with the blood, then with the accidents. I mean, what did Bee plan on saying?Or was she supposed to disappear?

 

The actors were great, the only one who felt off was Samara Weaving,but maybe she was acting like that to look off,like crazy.

 

The soundtrack was good. So were the visual effects.

 

Viewer discretion is advised as the movie contains mature content, from language to graphic scenes.

 

The movie is a Netflix production and can be found on the Netflix platforms like Netflix, Basic Netflix with ads, Sky on Netflix.
