The trip is supposed to help Cole forget his traumatic encounter. He is invited on a weekend getaway to a nearby lake by his beautiful next-door neighbour Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind), who seems to be the only person who believes his incredible story. Heavily medicated he is seeing a school counsellor every day, and his concerned helicopter parents are enrolling him in a psychiatric academy in a misguided attempt to help him overcome his problems. Two years after the events of that film the angst-ridden Cole is still traumatised, as no one believes his story, and he is a bit of an outcast in school. In that film, teen Cole (Judah Lewis) discovered his babysitter was involved in a satanic blood cult. It’s the sequel to 2017’s cult favourite The Babysitter. Maybe the new Goth girl, fresh from “juvie” and named “Phoebe” (Jenna Ortega) can help.The Babysitter: Killer Queen is a hybrid of gory horror, coming-of-age tale and black comedy. “What can I say? The Devil gives good head!” He and we are puzzled when Allison ( Bella Thorne), Sonya ( Hana Mae Lee) and John ( Andrew Bachelor), among others, show up for more ritualistic “play.” Didn’t we see Allison’s head explode in a shotgun blast last time out? And damned if the SAME murderous things go down, with many of the same villains.
The only “friend” who could verify the events of that awful, blood-stained night they survived two years ago is Mel ( Emily Alyn Lind), the school hottie who refuses to ding her rep by confirming his worst nightmare was true.Īs consolation, she invites him to a Teens Gone Wild houseboat party down on Lake Mead or Lake Powell (in the desert). “Killer Queen” has our once-babysat fraidy-cat Cole ( Judah Lewis) coping with high school bullies, parents ( Leslie Bibb, Ken Marino) who never believed his babysitter was mistress of a Devil Book cult.

He even got to do a “Terminator” sequel.Īnd here he is, just a couple of years after getting that AARP card in the mail, producing and directed a little TV here and there and making disposable shlock-shock comedies for Netflix. Granted, in this “post-director” filmmaking environment, where you’re either a legend or just this week’s hack who talks a good game and works cheap (Russo Brothers, cough cough), just finding steady work is a challenge.īut McG, real name Joseph McGinty Nicol, directed “We Are Marshall.” He survived the Cameron/Lucy/Drew “Charlie’s Angels” franchise (barely).
The sequel, in which finding fresh slasher comedy laughs shows, first scene to last, isn’t anything to skip (home) school for.Īnd there’s just enough down time, –in between the frenetic butchery, manic off-color one-liners, teens behaving badly, teachers cursing students and parents taking bong hits while they play VR “Halo” - to ponder the imponderable. “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” is a sequel to the teen death-cult comedy “The Babysitter,” which all the cool kids gathered round the TV to “Netflix” back in 2017.
