Still test screening -- new title and MPAA rating


They're still doing test screenings on this film!

It seems now like they've changed the title to "BAD SITTER", and are revealing that it will almost certainly be rated R.

What?.They first started test screenings for this back in Jan/Feb of this year.How badly did it score if it needs more screenings?.The name change is awful too.Bad Sitter.Ugh.😒

Yeah, I don't have much hope for this movie if it's been testing this long... Guess we'll see how it is when it's released...

If it ends up getting a January release then you know it`s bad.Dumping ground.

I guess the movie is either too offbeat or really bad.

Shame they've changed the title. Bad Sitter makes it seem like a different movie then it is.
However, I watched the trailer and it was actually pretty good. It seemed like they nailed the tone of the script. Hopefully it'll get a decent release sometime soon, because I still want to see it.

Disagree about the trailer, didn`t like it.Bad Sitter IS a terrible title though.What was wrong with The Babysitter?.I guess they tested it and people either didn`t like it or were confused by it so they changed it.

I thought Bella Thorne was the title character until I watched this trailer. It's actually Samara Weaving.

I agree, "Bad Sitter" makes it sound like a gross-out comedy along the lines of "Bad Teacher" or "Bad Santa", etc. etc. This movie's supposedly a horror comedy with actual scariness and gore.

Where can I find the trailer?

It was up on the 1iota website for a while but they`ve taken it down now.
