Not even bad in a good way

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Clearly terrified, a young woman screams... One day earlier, pretty blonde Hallee Hirsh (as Zoe) arrives to babysit three children... Make that two children, because we learn college-bound Jeremy Dozier (as Jack) is too old for a babysitter and will likely stay in his room all night... It should be once child, because second son Austin Rogers (as Tyler) appears too old for a babysitter. Apparently, he's having trouble getting his high school credits together... You could say no babysitter is needed, because both older sons stay home all night. They should be able to watch cute six-year-old vegetarian Elsie Fisher (as Grace) eat her bologna sandwich and go to bed. She's concerned about the death of little pepperonis, but killing bologna is okay...You'll never guess how this ends...Looking vaguely familiar, that's former "Happy Days" and "Married with Children" TV replacement Ted McGinley joining former "Terminator" movie series regular Linda Hamilton to briefly appear as parents...That this is a thriller called "Bad Behavior" provides clues about what might happen. Things get going when Ms. Hirsh invites boyfriend Andrew James Allen (as Kansas) over for a little sexual activity on the couch. In horror, we know that usually brings the villain out of hiding. The writer/director team Nicholas Brandt and Lisa Hamil do manage to keep this story afloat for about an hour, which is quite an accomplishment. Much of the action is confined to limited sets. This could explain the family keeping an "Etch-A-Sketch" in their unusually spacious bathroom. That's not where I played with mine. While nothing groundbreaking ever happens, and the ending may disappoint, "Bad Behavior" looks like it was fun to make.**** Bad Behavior (10/22/2013) Brandt-Hamil ~ Hallee Hirsh, Austin Rogers, Elsie Fisher, Jeremy Dozier

While the plot is pretty generic as far as the horror genre goes, the actor playing the villain really brings this above what would otherwise be a forgettable movie. Where most horror villains are physically imposing, evil figures; the villain here is very much a man child. Pudgey, pastey, and prone to fits of rage when he doesn't get his way, the character comes off more like a supporting role from an Apatow movie then something to be feared. Everything from his delusions of grandeur to his feeble attempts at using safety scissors as a weapon are very fun to watch. Where most of the other actors just kind of phone in their performances, the villain really gives it his all. I really hope to see this man in more horror movies in the future.Aside from that its a pretty slow "babysitter horror movie". As mentioned above, the rest of the cast is forgettable. There is no sex and very little violence. Other then some language it would probably be fairly kid appropriate provided that it can keep their attention of the entire run time.Overall I'd suggest it if you like b-movies and the idea of a man child slasher interests you.

As a big fan of horror films, I have become quite weary of new films that seem to worry more about gore, special effects, and simple scare tactics (something suddenly appearing in frame, followed by loud sound effect) and less about story, acting and developing a character that is both believable, and terrifying. Fortunately, this is not one of those films.From start to finish I felt drawn to keep watching and find out what would happen to Zoe as her night of work becomes a nightmare. The acting and storyline really make for a fun, scary and suspenseful film. Not sure this will be a huge hit, but I feel a cult classic coming along.

From the moment Zoe rings the doorbell we know that something is off with apparently normal family. The parent's seem too nice, and too willing to over pay. The middle child Tyler is skittish and perverted, the youngest is lost in her own princess fantasy, and the oldest, Jack looks like as Zoe's boyfriend Kansas puts it a "serial killer" Well all it takes is a knock on the head to Zoe, and we learn that this family is hiding some dark secrets, mainly that Jack suffers from paranoid delusions. As he terrorizes Zoe, Grace, and Tyler (who are all trapped in the bathroom) we learn that this isn't the first time Jack has acted out, but will it be the most violent? You have to watch the film to find out!
