Bad Behavior (2013)
4/10
Lend Me Your Ear

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.
