Review of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) by Chris Dafoe for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 02 Dec 2003
This is a movie whose morality is as banal as its humor--and that's saying something. Basically, it's standard post '80s high-concept drivel, yet another marketing hook in search of comedy, tension, characters, atmosphere, compelling narrative drive--everything we used to see in movies before the hooks and the ad campaigns swallowed them up.
