The 1980s seem like a magical time, at least in retrospect.
The music, the hair, the bad yet oh so good horror movies.
And when it is about its bloodletting,The Babysitterhas moments of splattered splendor.
Otherwise this Netflix originalunlike two recent Halloween charmers inGeralds Gameand evenLittle Evilis not that original at all.
See, Bee and her cliquey little cult are all in on this Satanist fad this week.
And yes, there is plenty of that here too.
Judd Apatow has built a comedy empire on such high school fantasies being made tender flesh.
Unfortunately for this movie, the attempts at humor and horror alike land with a deadly thud.
Even the dialogue never exceeds the demoralizing groans of he shot me in the boob!
