And October is indeed the right month for this kind of premise and some of the slightly spooky effects the film is able to wring out of it. The beasties might be cute, but that’s all they are like the film itself, an adaptation of screenwriter Joe Ballarini’s YA book series, a brightly-coloured distraction seems to be the only point.ĭon’t get me wrong – now’s the time for distractions. The colourful critters in Netflix’s new on-trend family film A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting certainly are, but I was left wondering if the film mistook this for a sense of humour or a point. Should monsters be cute? I suppose it depends.
A strong lead and some family fun help A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting to work as a feature-length distraction, but there’s nothing more to it than that.
