What critics compared The Babysitter: Killer Queen to
Sure, a movie doesn’t need to fully reflect the taste of its time or characters, but there’s a weird disconnect throughout this film, in part because the references are so non-stop that they’re impossible to ignore—when a character went from a “Forrest Gump” nod to a Tommy Tutone shout-out in the same line , I thought maybe I was being punked.
Sure, some may get the callbacks to Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), but will the target audience understand who Vanilla Ice was or what “Hammer Time” is? What’s the purpose of referencing Jenny from Forrest Gump (1994)?
The performances also carried much of the weight, especially from Samara Weaving, who in the last couple of years has established a solid name in genre pictures (see her work in Ready or Not, Mayhem, and earlier this year in Bill & Ted Face the Music ).
