Don't Tell Mum the Babysitter's Dead - 1991 **

The scariest thing about this film is Christina Applegate's massive eyebrows which take over most of her scenes with abject force.
The movie itself is a bit stupid. It's I suppose trying to follow along the same sort of lines as 'Weekend at Bernie's' and while that was hilarious from start to finish, this one fails miserably and doesn't deliver any sort of humour to it's audience. A mother leaves her five children at home alone for 2 months while she goes on vacation, and during that time (well, to be honest, about 2 days after she's gone) the babysitter dies. Keen to have the place to themselves and not worry their mother, the siblings make a pact not to tell her what has happened and instead try to run the house themselves for the remainder of the time, making more and more mess and mistakes as they go along. It's not funny.
