Trailer Released For New Take On 90s Flick 'DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD'

Sometimes remakes of films you never thought would be of interest to be remade happen. DON’T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER’S DEAD is definitely one of those films. Yet, a fresh take on the 1991 dark-comedy is indeed happening and today we have the trailer for ya.

Iconic Events Releasing brings the remake to theaters on April 12, and Entertainment Weekly has debuted the Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead trailer and we have to say, it doesn’t look too bad but we’ll hold our judgements for after seeing the full flick, you decide for yourself.

The new film ” follows 17-year-old girl Tanya (Jones), who plans to vacation in Europe with her friends before heading to college in the fall. But her mom (Ms. Pat) decides to go to a wellness retreat in Thailand, so Tanya is forced to stay home with her siblings. When — as the title suggests — their elderly babysitter (Squibb) unexpectedly dies, Tayna gets a job working for an ambitious woman named Rose (Ritchie). As she juggles work, family and a complicated romance, Tanya navigates adulthood at the cost of her last summer of freedom.”

The director tells EW in today’s preview piece, “Centering this story around this family was a no-brainer. Don’t Tell Mom has always been about becoming an adult before your time, and we know that’s true for all Black kids. Everyone involved in the film brought their A game — come for the laughs, stay for the heart, the vibe and the music.”
