I was looking forward watching this movie over the Halloween holiday.
This film was a fun ride.
Pros: I enjoy the performances in this film. You ended up rooting for Cole to survive his nightmare. the film is well pasted & well directed & also its knows when to get sill, goofy & barbaric.
Cons: At times it can get too serious for it’s own good.
The Casts & characters:
- Samara Weaving as Bee, Cole’s attractive babysitter
- Judah Lewis as Cole, a pre-teen boy whose parents hire a babysitter when they go out
- Hana Mae Lee as Sonya, Bee’s goth friend who is part of her cult
