A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting is perfect for Halloween | Video Review

October 15, 2020 by EJ Moreno

A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting, 2020.

Directed by Rachel Talalay.
Starring Tamara Smart, Oona Laurence, Indya Moore, and Tom Felton.

As someone who appreciates family-friendly horror films, our critic EJ Moreno offers up a unique take on A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting. This Rachel Talalay-directed film makes for a perfect Halloween viewing with the spooky holiday right around the corner. The perfect tone and campy performances allow this to become a way to introduce a young viewer to their first “horror film” or recapture the magic of the 90s family-friendly spooky movies.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

When high school freshman Kelly Ferguson (Tamara Smart) reluctantly agrees to babysit Jacob Zellman (Ian Ho) on Halloween, the last thing she expects is to be recruited into an international secret society of babysitters who protect kids with special powers from monsters. In order to keep Jacob safe from harm, Kelly teams with no-nonsense chapter Vice President Liz Lerue (Oona Laurence), tech genius Berna Vincent (Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson), creature expert Cassie Zhen (Lynn Masako Cheng), and potions master Curtis Critter (Ty Consiglio) to defeat a Boogeyman known as “The Grand Guignol” (Tom Felton), a glamorous witch named “Peggy Drood” (Indya Moore) and their legion of mysterious monsters.
