These comments assume viewers have seen 'The Babysitter'.
Two years after the events of 'The Babysitter' only his friend Melanie believes his version of what happened; everybody else, including his parents, think he is delusional. Since he refuses to say he imagined what happened his parents decide to send him to a specialist psychiatric school. The day he is due to be sent there Melanie invites him to join her, and a few of her friends, for some fun at the lake. Unfortunately for Cole the events of two years ago are going to restart... more teens need his blood to do a deal with the devil and the ghosts of those dispatched in the first film are back hoping that by completing the ritual before sunrise they can return to life. At least this time Cole has an ally in the form of Phoebe, the new girl in school who is rumoured to have killed her parents.
I really enjoyed 'The Babysitter' so hoped this would be good too; while it isn't as good as the original it still manages to be fun. There are plenty of laughs to be had as well as entertainingly over-the-top gory deaths... assuming you like decapitations and spraying blood; and who doesn't!? Having the original villains return was good although sadly we see far less of Babysitter Bee in this one. The identity of the new villain is a bit of a surprise but does seem a little forced. The cast is solid enough and the soundtrack is pretty good. The change of location is good; the lake in the desert might be very open but it is still hard to escape from. I liked the addition of Phoebe, she is a nicely ambiguous character who seems to be a friend who one is allowed to suspect could turn into a final 'surprise villain. Overall I don't think this is quite up to the standard of the original but it is still well worth watching.
