I guess with movies like this, it's one or the other. But most likely the one thing you expect. So while you may not feel many surprises in the story/thriller, you may like how the tension is being build and the acting in general. It's not an easy watch, especially when and if you care for one of the main characters. Problem being you might not care that much.So watching the wife and her husband, the question is, if you are supposed to have positive feelings towards the Babysitter? Now the ending on the other hand will either leave you satisfied because of the way everything is "wrapped" up or you may hate it for how it handled the whole thing. Not sure if it is a make or break thing though - I think you will know much earlier ...

Let me start by saying this movie is insulting to any a parent who has an autistic child, and to the autistic community as a whole:Autistic children don't try to murder their parents. Parents don't chain autistic children in bed, or wear them rugby helmets. Maybe 300 years ago, but I am pretty certain that's not the suggested treatment nowadays.Going further (SPOILERS ALERT):How was the old lady (who could not act for her life) able to calm down the child? Noone knows.How was it they were able to dissect dogs and cats inside the house for 2 months without anyone smelling or noticing anything? No one knowsWhy did the mother's friend stay for dinner after the mother stormed out of her own house? Noone knows.Why was she killed since she obviously did not suspect anything? Noone knows.Why did they want the child? Noone knows.Did they plan all along to take the child? How? They never met till that day in the supermarket. Noone knows.Why did they let her live, when she was an obvious witness? Noone knows.What was that whole : the husband sleeps with other women, which was then never explored? Noone knows.Easily The Last Jedi of horror movies, minus the unecessary SJW/Manhating element. A piece in pieces, with people in it acting mediocrely that starts nowhere, goes nowhere in a journey that makes absolutely no sense. P.S. -> And of course, the old lady is poisoning the mother because that's never been done before either.

The movie was good but the end was TOO MUCH. I still don't understand the reason they did that and WHERE did they go at the end? Sorry but it wasn't a clear nor a pleasant ending. But I think it was a good movie but the ending didn't make much sense. They should had done a better job for the ending.

Don't waste your time with this one, it starts as a drama about a mother dealing with an autistic child and then it turns into some sort of satanic or cultist rituals from a Filipino old lady to steal a baby, planned for months apparently.The story development was so unbelievable and annoying that by the end they just rushed the story ending and in less than a minute they "explain" everything and end up with an abstract scene about the old lady escaping with the baby.If the real mother really wanted to be heard and that the other believed her story, she should have used her expensive iPhone to record video instead of only translating audio from Filipino to Spanish, audio that was not saved.Waste of time and money making this awful movie.
