Bad Behavior

I like the theme of this movie. Simple babysitting job goes bad, very, very bad. This family looks normal on the outside, but they were anything but. From the beginning of the movie, you get a sense of something is not right with them. You also get an uneasy feeling about the oldest kid. So knowing that, Zoe (the babysitter)should never invite her boyfriend over while babysitting. Don't they know things always go wrong when you are making out. Even though I was waiting for something to happen, it still got me. I like that. I caught myself yelling at the characters on the screen. There is a lot of suspense throughout the movie. So if you like suspense you will like this movie.

No pun intended - locked inside with someone a babysitter tries to protect from someone ... well we don't know who that would be. We do learn it and it almost feels like a joke when you get to see who or what it is. Let's say I was quite unimpressed. Many logical issues and/or flaws I reckon. I really was not that ... well impressed by the whole thing.

Even more so considering the end of the story/movie. Which seemed to be the point of the whole story - leading us to the end, that you either love or hate I suppose. Technically speaking the movie is very well made. The acting is decent too overall - it just will boil down to, if you'll be able to suspend your disbelief ... which I think is quite hard to do in this case ... but that might just be me.

Zoe (Hallee Hirsh) arrives for a babysitting job. The parents (Linda Hamilton and Ted McGinley) go out for the evening, leaving Zoe with their trio of kids. Not-so surprisingly, Zoe's boyfriend shows up as well.

Odd occurrences, including a disappearance and a rampaging madman commence.

BAD BEHAVIOR starts out in typical killer-on-the-loose fashion, then screeches to a halt when Zoe and the kids hunker down in the bathroom. This amounts to their spending a big chunk of the movie sitting there, jumping whenever there's a bang or pounding on the door.

On the positive side, there are a few humorous moments, as well as some tension. There's also a decent twist at the end, although It's sort of a slog to get there!

Fans of Ms. Hamilton take note: She's only in this movie at the beginning and the end, a total of about 5-10 minutes...

Holy crap, I have never been more thankful that my babysitting days are in the past. This film makes me never, ever want to do that again. I have no idea what I would do if this had happened to me. What happens when a young, innocent women is brought into a family of psychotic individuals with serious denial issues? You get Bad Behavior, a fun horror movie from beginning to end. The actors really step up in this one, especially Jeremy Dozier (Jack) and Hallee Hirsch (Zoe). These two youngsters make this movie what it is, the dug into these roles and went for it and it shows. I was expecting a fun little horror movie, but this movie exceeded all of my expectations.

If you think this babysitter looks familiar she's been in a lot of stuff. I remember her back from the show ER. She was Dr. Green's (Anthony Edwards) bratty daughter. She is great as Zoe, the babysitter, in this movie. She is in charge of three kids. I was wondering why they needed a babysitter since Jack seems old enough to care for the other kids. But you soon find out that there is something not right with this guy, so no wonder they need a babysitter. Those parents are cruel to leave a babysitter basically alone in the house with Jack, knowing full well what he is capable of. Forget about doing a background check on babysitters. After you watch this movie, babysitters will want to do a background check on the parents and the kids they are supposed to be watching!
