Three years after creating the rather surprisingly enjoyable teen comedy-horror hit “The Babysitter” for Netflix, director McG (“Terminator Salvation,” “Charlie’s Angels”) returns with the sequel. And the film basically picks up where the last one left off. The initial film was about a young boy trying to spy on his babysitter and the unexpected turn for the worst the night’s events take them. Now, two years after defeating a satanic cult led by his babysitter, Bee (Samara Weaving), Cole’s (Judah Lewis) trying to forget his past and focus on surviving high school. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil. The sequel, titled “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” looks like it has a lot of the same charms as the original.

The full cast includes Judah Lewis, Emily Alyn Lind, Jenna Ortega, Robbie Amell, Andrew Bachelor, Leslie Bibb, Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Ken Marino, Chris Wylde, Carl McDowell, Juliocesar Chavez, Maximilian Acevedo, Jennifer Foster, and Helen Hong. But strangely enough both Weaving and original writer Brian Duffield have moved on (the former becoming something of a big star, so that’s likely why). The object of affection has now apparently moved on to Emily Alyn Lind.

Two years after defeating a satanic cult led by his babysitter Bee, Cole continues to be haunted by the horrific events of that night. Everyone in his life thinks he has lost his mind since Bee and all of her friends disappeared, making Cole’s story hard to believe. He is still hopelessly smitten with his best friend and next door neighbor Melanie – the only one who believes his story – who convinces him to forget the past and come to a party thrown at a nearby lake. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil and survive the night.
