Bad Behavior

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...

I truly wish I could give this rating less than a full star. I saw the previews and thought it would be a great film. Boy was I wrong. It was actually rather boring, annoying, and poorly written. The actors were horrible. The entire plot of the story was horrible. I am so upset that I watched this movie. It was an hour and a half of my life that I can never get back. I was hoping that at some point, it would get better. The movie made absolutely no sense. Throughout the entire movie, I kept asking myself the obvious questions that any viewer would ask. Just horrible. I would recommend that the writers should have considered making the movie to make sense to the viewer, including the plot, characters, and even the characters behaviors. Do yourself a favor, do not watch this. Thumbs down.

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!
