Alright I'll be honest this movie is not for everyone. However if you are like horror/comedy and jokes movies like me then this is really good movie for you. Movie concept is unsual. Usually in horror movies Teens are chased by psychopath but in this movie teens are the psychopaths.

Samara Weaving's role as Bee/babysit is excellent she is actually believable babysitter that we all would have fallen for when we were age of 12, and been equally as brokenhearted to find out she's actually a psychopathic killer. It seems that she is also having some kinds of feelings towards Cole (?). 9/10.

Judah Lewis's role as Cole is also excellent. It is really easy to relate to him. He is absent-minded but smart school nerd who falls in love to his babysit Bee. 9/10.

Emily Alyn's role as Melanie is really superb. She is supportive and kinda really good friend to Cole and she has secrectly crush on Cole. 9/10.

Other characters:

- Hana Mae Lee as Sonya 8/10.

- Robbie Amell as Max 8/10.

- Bella Thorne as Allison 8/10.

- Andrew Bachelor Also known as KingBach from Vines as John 8/10.

- Leslie Bibb as Cole's mom 7/10.

- Ken Marino as Cole's dad 7/10.

Jokes are fun and edgy just it should be in these types of movies. Plot is also good. It is understandable and NOT PREDICTIBLE like some people claim it to be. Plot's build up is also pretty good and solid. Character chemistry shows in the movie. 8/10.

All in all this movie is good. Only disappointing thing was that other people just cant see really good horror/comedy anymore like I do but still it is their own opinion. This movie also has 80s classic horror flick vibe which is good. Reason why I give this movie 5/5 because my very low expectation but they surpassed easily. I could argue that this is McG's the best movie so far.

Should I recommend this to someone?

- Yes! I personally would recommend this movie for people who likes over stereotypical teens and jokes and horror.

Would I watch it again?

- Yes! It became one of my favorite Comedy/Horror flicks. If there is planned sequel or prequel I would defiantly be first in line to watch it.

Solid 8/10 for me.

Looking forward to sequel or prequel (if there is planned one)!
