The Night Sitter

Not worth the watch, but not terrible if you just want something on; maybe at a Halloween party where no one is really watching it closely. Torn between 4-5/10, but the production quality and the second half were alright so I bumped it up.

Beginning *way *too overacted with the dad, and the annoying kid was just insufferable to have on screen.

The premise was good, but that's about it. The story was bad, the dialogue was bad, and it felt unfocused. The way the robbers acted was so *outlandish* and didn't track at all: Picked a lock fast? Better take a sex break in another room, who needs to rush?

By the middle of the movie it would have made more sense if they were all college kids who happened to be crashing a house party or something. Ignoring that part, it became a fine horror movie at the middle mark, but it was nothing special and I can't recommend it.

The "twist" was lame and predicable, but the end 30m had a few chaotic demon scenes that were fun to watch. The weird occult-nerd neighbor actually was pretty funny once they started using him too.

This movie kept me invested all the way through, I started to love Jack Champion after Avatar The Way of The Water and I wanted to see the films that he was in. So I went to watch this and I am surprised to say that I actually enjoyed watching this movie. I didn't read the reviews or watch the trailer so I went completely blind into the movie and though there were some questionable decisions made I was able to sit through it and I enjoyed it. Let's start off with what I liked, the gore in this movie was very graphic which is my kind of movie, I loved how campy this film was, it had enough horror elements where I was on the edge of my seat and enough humor to keep me watching, and Jack Champion was in it which made the movie a little better. Now with the things I didn't like, the acting could've been better not the worst I've seen but it wasn't great, this story concept has been done so many times. There's not much I disliked about the movie besides the acting and the story, besides those two I really liked the movie. I would give this movie a 4/10 if it weren't for Jack Champion.

The 2018 movie "The Night Sitter" from directors and writers Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco definitely had potential. But it ended up as being a very scrambled mess of a movie, and I lost interest in it fairly quickly given the fact that the characters were essentially as interesting as the tarmac of a rundown airport.

The concept idea of "The Night Sitter" had some interesting ideas and elements, but it was just brought to life on the screen in a very lackluster manner, and the movie suffered terribly from that.

And it didn't help to boost the movie or its enjoyment one bit that the storyline was so prolonged and slow-paced. It literally felt like you were getting nowhere while watching the movie. It took writers Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco so long to get from A to B, and managed to cram in very little of interest along the way.

Yes, I managed to endure "The Night Sitter" to the very end, hoping that the movie would do a 180 and become interesting. It just never happened, and I must also admit to be using my phone frequently throughout the course of this movie.

Definitely not a movie I can recommend that you waste your time, money or effort on. Nor is it a movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time around.

Ouch! Some of the reviews are brutal for this movie.

OK, so it's not going to be a classic of all time, but it is watchable.

The thing that lets it down is the lack of really suspenseful build up in some places that are quite pivotal to the story. - it tens to move predictably smoothly from one scene to the next.

Apart from that, the acting is OK and the visuals are fine.

Not a classic, but it's an enjoyable fun film. I enjoyed the nods to Dario Argento with the 'Three Mothers' and the use of different coloured lighting. As a horror film it perhaps lack real scares, and as a comedy it's not really full-on belly-laugh funny, but it kept me interested and I enjoyed it.
