McG's original black comedy slasher The Babysitter - about, you guessed it, a babysitter with sacrificial plans for her young charge - wasn't really the event it could have been, neither reinventing nor redefining any of the tropes it leaned on. All this changed with the arrival of sequel Killer Queen two years later, which broke out into the wider world while taking everything good about the first film and turning it up to 11.

Two years after his babysitter (Bee, played by Samara Weaving) and her satanic cult tried to kill him, Cole Johnson (Judah Lewis) is still suffering the reprisals of that fateful night, with everyone - parents and the 5-0 included - believing he had a psychotic break. But that doesn’t stop Bee’s gang from coming after him again in order to bring her back from the dead.

Although the plot revolves around the performing of a ritual and resurrection of the first movie's main villain, when she finally arrives she's had a change of heart. Thus, Bee helps Cole (Judah Lewis) defeat her old friends and Cole's ex-best friend - the true villains of the film - before sacrificing herself for the greater good. D'aww.
