Babysitter Must Die (2020)

My quick rating - 3.3/10. Or, "let's not develop the story." This flick has our pictured babysitter (Scarlett Hazen) stuck, by choice, working for a rich family some weekend night. So, since they are going to point out her "talents" along the way, I suppose they should have had a bubble for "introvert" along with parkour (jumping over a couch) and climbing (a tree, which is another confusing, stupid point of this movie). The makers thought that little quirk would make this stand out. I found it stupid, especially since none of these supposed talents ever come into play until a fighting skill way towards the end. So, as she is hiding, playing with her charge, the family has arrived home early, giving us more victims for the cult driven home invaders. Oh, why are these cultists there? Who knows, aside from looking for a cube, which then turns into a door in the middle of the floor, leading to who knows what. All plot points that these lazy asses never bother explaining. BTW, the 3 ominous invaders are about as intimidating as your cat sitting on the couch staring at you (plotting how to kill you, BTW). The cover shows her covered in blood. Maybe that is from the sequel since there is hardly any to speak of in this roam around the house and do nothing flick. Oh, I would be doing a poor job if I also didn't mention the background music, which runs on a loop throughout the whole flick. So irritating, and the few times it stops to start the loop over, it is so silent I thought I accidentally muted the soundbar. Aside from a few laughs here and there, this movie really lacked anything aside from a quirky lead and a cute kid that unfortunately makes it like like a sequel to this crap is on the way. If you do ever find out why she gets out of the house, starts climbing a tree for no reason, then goes back in, please let me know. Seems escape and getting the police would've been a good move, but the director knew a much better way to make this 76 minutes to forget.
