10 Best Films To Watch On Netflix UK This Halloween

4. The Babysitter

Netflix's own take on the horror genre is of course explicitly tongue in cheek, combining all the elements of a great slasher - violence, a claustrophobic house, and babysitters - into one neat package that tips the genre on its head. Babysitter Bee is the one to be feared here, inviting a group of school friends over after dark to perform a satanic ritual requiring the blood of an innocent. Unfortunately for 12 year old Cole, that just so happens to be him.

Discovering the group mid-sacrifice and calling the police, the night devolves into the cultists attempting to hunt down and kill Cole; but each meets a rather grisly fate instead. Littered with sarcastic commentary and ridiculous gory accidents, The Babysitter is something lighthearted for when the scary stuff gets a bit much. And it has Bella Thorne getting shot in the tit for good measure.
