It bamboozles its way to the original plot, somehow resurfacing Cole’s enemies who are this increasingly violent satanic cult but the only difference is, he’s living with these experiences with trauma rather than innocence. It’s difficult to say how The Babysitter: Killer Queen repeats the same themes of its predecessor. There’s also a new girl introduced to the story - Phoebe, played by the ever-popular Jenna Ortega who made convincing performances in You. His parents are coddling him, believing that he’s mentally unstable after the events of the last film. His crush Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind) has a jock boyfriend that is boisterous and annoying.

A character that wears full suits to schools and wonders why everyone looks at him strangely. One that is suitably traumatized by the events of the last film. The sequel presents an older teenage version of Cole (Judah Lewis). But I never thought at the end of that film that a continuation was necessary - a continuation to what exactly? Clearly, I’ve been proven wrong and here we are - a sequel. 03:52 - The Babysitter movies are loaded with film references what movies did Lewis and Lind watch for the first time because of these scripts Lewis discusses nailing his The Sure Thing monologue in The Babysitter: Killer Queen.When I saw the press release of The Babysitter: Killer Queen I thought surely not? Admittedly, I enjoyed The Babysitter - it is a hella fun comedy horror that relies on being outrageous and shocking at the same time.

02:30 - Lind discusses finding out that she’d get to return for another Babysitter movie and continue Melanie’s story.00:30 - Lewis revisits working on Demolition with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jean-Marc Vallée and discusses what he learned from the experience that he still applies to his work today.“I think in every scene of this movie there are little nods and homages to different films, but it’ll be the kind of thing where, when we’re doing rehearsals, before we film any scene, McG’s coming up with his phone like, ‘Guys, I’ve gotta show you this!’ And it’s some scene or some little clip of some random movie that maybe only McG knows about.” Lewis also highlighted McG’s enthusiasm for sharing his love of film with the cast and also infusing that passion into the movies: And there’s a whole scene with mine and characters which starts out with a whole Deliverance reference, but then my character goes on this whole little monologue sort of thing in order to save Phoebe, and that entire thing is this really kind of beautifully crafted homage to a scene in The Sure Thing.” And then the second one is The Sure Thing, which is a Rob Reiner, John Cusack movie. There’s a lot of through-lines with that. The first one, which was The Graduate, which I don’t know how I had never seen. Here’s what Lewis said when asked for his favorite films that he watched for the first time because of the Babysitter movies:


And I’m not just referring to the gore and violence the script also incorporates even more movie references, one of the most memorable of the bunch being Lewis’ rendition of a scene from The Sure Thing.

That brief synopsis doesn’t do Killer Queen justice whatsoever because once the blood starts flowing, McG and his team really take everything to the max.
