I guess it's a parody? I don't want to get into a habit of saying every horror-comedy is parody. Maybe it comes off to me as parody because it also comes off as retro... or maybe just because it's well tread territory. What do you think?

Yea, it was kinda 80s. Might be the kid against bad guys theme that did it. The movie's problem, imo, was after the big reveal it became something you've seen lots of times before. A shame, cuz I really liked the chemistry between the kid and the babysitter and the scenes with just those two together.
On another note, is it just me or is there more talented kid actors popping up this decade than ever before? Might be because there's more kid actors being used than ever before, idk. The last 2 decades we've seen tons and tons of teens in horror movies, but this decade the jews of Hollywood has thougt, "We can do it even cheaper, muahahaha". Sorry, that was a bit racist ( but racist in a FUN way, right? :D).
