Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

RavenGlamDVDCollector You never SAW such a mess!The score of 5 is given for entertainment value, it is no reflection of what this flick deserves as a motion picture.I got involved with this through going through spam from seller sites, saw the DVD box cover, "Ah, girl in distress - investigate!" Research brought to light main star is Sarah Thompson. I loved her as Eve in ANGEL. I feared ANGEL might kill her. Eve was a cute bad girl... Okay, that is another show. Point is, I was in favor of buying another Sarah Thompson title. Just to make sure, I downloaded the trailer. Everything checked out promising. I must have seen all the negative comments here. I do not overdo research, what is the point if you know too much up ahead?Good question actually. This movie starts off, I suppose, following the tried and tested recipe, as other reviewers all attest. About midway, everything changes. This movie turns "surprising" if it could be called that. Let me rather say, something happens, something is revealed, and from that moment on, the train is on a different track and coming off the rails. For a while I thought, maybe something could be salvaged, but it soon became apparent NO WAY!I'm just happy to report that Sarah Thompson is so cute I could suffer through ten messes like this as long as she is in it.It would have been a way better movie if it kept to the apparent premise without going into such dark, hitherto unexplored territory. Yeah, it brought a new angle, but one that is so deranged, yet acted out by a campy villain, that the whole movie becomes a floundering mess. And if you check out the Behind the Scenes on the DVD, no wonder, the directors are obviously kinda whacky.Movie also underlines why I eschew blood & guts horror films BECAUSE I freak out when my heroine is getting hooked through her ankle. There is enough entrails in this one to satisfy an abattoir.

Tss5078 People often ask how I find and pick the really independent films I sometimes review. In the case of Babysitter Wanted, it was an easy choice, as nothing is scarier to me that an evil child. Strangely enough the film also features several cast members from a TV show I really liked, Kyle XY. The story begins with the deeply religious, Angie (Sarah Thompson), going away to college. Looking for some extra money, she picks up a job babysitting for a family living in the middle of nowhere. Everything seems normal at first, until one night someone tries to break in, and to everyone's surprise, the beautiful young girl is not the target of his rage. This film was very unusual for a religious based horror film, as it wasn't over the top with religious jargon. It was a major theme of the film, but they don't beat you over the head with it the way other films do. It's also unlike your usual slasher films as it has a good cast, a decent and somewhat unique story, and most important of all, it doesn't move at lightning speed. Almost every slasher film I've ever seen has 15 minutes of story and then it's one big chase, but that doesn't happen here. They spend a lot of time on the story and when things do happen, they are pretty surprising. Sarah Thompson stars as the babysitter, while being your typical beautiful horror movie girl, she was also very credible and connected with the audience. Watching this film, you feel like you know her or someone like her, and you'll be cheering for her in a way you really don't do in films like this. She's paired with Kyle XY himself, Matt Dallas, another really good looking, likable person, that audiences will also relate to. Once you see the whole picture, it's going to seem a bit odd to you, but the Directors and Casting people really hit the nail on the head, making this seem like anything but a slasher film until the time was just right, making for a really enjoyable and unique type of film.

lolakennedy666 So I finally decided to download and watch Babysitter Wanted after I saw all these top reviews on here. Everyone gave it top marks and was saying the ending was amazing blah blah. So I thought heck, it must be good.... But seriously, this low budget crap is honestly not worth watching in the slightest. The acting was terrible, the apparent 'twist' was plain laughable and I got bored in the first half an hour. I have watched some pretty shockingly terrible movies in my past but this takes the cake.So seriously take my advice from a serious horror movie fan, don't go there -_-

the_wolf_imdb OK, this is very low budget "Satan has his child movie", all right. The authors seem to repeat all dumb clichés almost in canonical order which makes this movie annoying beyond any description.The female hero is Christian yet she makes no attempt to pray in the face of evil. Instead she cries "please let me go". God seems to be somewhat useless or absent here completely.The only moment for prayer is before meeting the Devil and after that. Is it possible to lose your faith when you see the living proof of your faith? The child behaves super strange, he wants to eat meat only, there are skulls and other satanic items in the house yet the hero does not seem to have any bad feeling about this.There must be some rule "never hurt your real enemy". So when she hurts the priest, she hurts him hard. When she has the chance to kill the "father" or the "son", she never does that. She only hurts them slightly so she can gimp around about half of an hour and repeatedly hurt her enemy a little.By the way, the priest never makes any attempt to explain what he is doing. He behaves as neonazi satanist combined with zombie and partially Freddy Krueger.The only way how to save the heroine is some random chance. Without that she would probably gimp around forever.Her pure, ever loving handsome asexual boyfriend is found dead in the middle of the movie only to be found not dead in the moment his help is not longer needed.After fight with two super sized psychos she just succumbs to little devil boy even when he does not display any sort of super power. She does not try to use any help from God, she does not attempt to destroy him for good even when she notices the special knife owned by non-communicating Krueger looking priest.The farm is searched thoroughly by the police, but the very strange looking knife is left where it was. She and her boyfriend can finally grab the knife and start search for the "son". It would be too easy and unfair to kill him when he was hanged and hurt.This is so so so incredibly stupid. There must be some "thriller" subcategory for this. "Naive and stupid heroes make repeated useless attempts to fight the Evil so the viewer can see some torture and wisdom from the mind of the psychopaths." Please stop making these movies and give us some real heroes.
