I had some time to catch a couple of movies on Netflix recently one was Belief: The Possesion of Janet Moses and The Babysitter. Belief: The Possesion of Janet Moses was a very well-made, tragic story of Janet Moses who died during an exorcism in New Zealand. The story presenta itself to the viewer with interviews and facts and leaves it up for the audience to decide if the outcome was justified. It was fair and seemed to be unbiased which I enjoyed immensely since many documentaries seem to have a distinct agenda. It is a movie that is absolutely worth seeing.
The Babysitter is really disappointing. On paper it seems like a fun and original movie. It squanders the idea and churns out a ridiculously simple movie that is poorly executed. Not that it is without entertainment value. There are a few good jokes and over-the-top gore. When it comes to comedic horror this movie falls flat. The scares and joke are predictable and do not add to the experience. The story as a whe is pretty forgettable and the attempts at sentimentality are oddly out of place given the tone of the rest of the movie. It is an empty promise movie that doesn’t deliver and is pretty easy to forget.
