Over the weekend we watched Scare Me and The Babysitter: Killer Queen.
Scare Me is directed by Josh Ruben (Adam Ruins Everything). Similar to the “W&DB” we sometimes get the “Directed and Starring” That's the case with with movie, as Josh Ruben is the main star. We also have Aya Cash (The Boys), Chris Redd (Joker), and Rebecca Drysdale. That's basically the whole movie. A would-be writer tucks himself into a secluded cabin in order to write a horror novel. While there, he meets another writer who has written the greatest horror novel of all time. The power goes out, and she invades his cabin looking for power. She suggests they pass the time with telling scary stories. The premise is decent, but I honestly disliked almost every character in the movie. The certain plot points and the ending didn't make sense to me. Maybe you'll like it.
In October 2017, we watched the first movie, The Babysitter. When we saw there was a sequel, we had to watch it. It's directed by McG, who also directed the first movie, and stars Judah Lewis (The Babysitter), Emily Alyn Lind (Doctor Sleep), and Jenna Ortega (Insidious: Chapter 2) along with the cult from the last movie. It's two years later, and everyone thinks our main character is nuts because he's telling the truth about what happened. The problem is, no one believe him. Even his friend who was there is staying quiet. A new student arrives, and things start to get freaky. It's a decent sequel, and it feels similar in tone since it has all the same staff. It can't match the magic of the first one since the cat is already out of the bag, but it's still fun to revisit this story.
