The Babysitter: Another brand-new Netflix original, directed by... geez, McG still has a career? Well, I guess he knows his strengths, and goes completely over the top blood-and-action-wise rather than try for any sort of actual tension or realism. And this mashup of Home Alone and Hand That Rocks The Cradle is actually pretty fun. 12-year-old crushing on his hot 20-something babysitter finds out she's in a Satanic cult who are sacrificing people in his house when his parents are away, so now he has to survive somehow. Not a great movie by any stretch, but it knows what it is, Samara Weaving (you know, the allegedly beat-up Trump supporter) has a blast playing evil, and the child actor manages to not be completely annoying. Ridiculous, but enjoyable.
