This Pleasantville meets 90s Skinamax horror porn comedy is surprisingly feminist. While the characters all play archetypes (the MILF, the Babysitter, the Scientist), two of the female characters get full names by the end as all the characters discover their own three-dimensionality. They technically pass the bechdel test by talking about the bechdel test itself in a library scene as the Babysitter has discovered knowledge. However, I rep this movie more fully because in a genre known for gratuitous female nudity, there is none in this movie with only male nudity being shown.

Colin disagreed with the rating and said:
While I agree this film is worth supporting and making note of because it is surprisingly feminist for the genre, I don't think it passes the test.

That's because it deliberately fails. The conversation you make note of about the Bechdel Test happens before 'The Babysitter' names herself.

In the strictest sense I don't think this passes, but spiritually it passes with flying colours.
