The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) Review

 

Two years after the events of the first film, the satanic cult return to finish what they started and try to kill Cole again. 

 Although not the heights of his Terminator Salvation outing Mc G returns to form with sequel to The Babysitter, Killer Queen after the ill conceived toned Rim of the World. Likeable lead Judah Lewis and many of the cast return for more gross out gore shenanigans. 

MC G The Babysitter: Killer Queen offers more blood, comedy and mayhem, more importantly more world building satanic twists. It moves along in a brisk pace, echoing an outlandish 80s slasher cash-in sequel. 

 The supporting demon cast return and are are on same fine form as the first outing, delivering a backbone of humour, especially one liners. Despite actress Samara Weaving giving off a vibe she's been dragged back for this with a fleeting follow up appearance, her Bee role is pivotal. Hopefully she'll turn up for a third. That said, Emily Alyn Lind returning as Melanie more than fills the gap throughout and along with Lewis shoulders the film. Jenna Ortega's Phoebe is a welcomed addition to this fun horror adventure. 

 Overall, Killer Queen does what it says on the tin, one of the better Netflix productions, if you like the genre.
