Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

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.

ashhub What a pleasant surprise ~ a really good horror with suspense and scares~First 20 minutes was a little slow but it picks up big~time~As long as you go with the flow and accept the plot developments for what they are then you will have a great time~It will have you squirming in your seat a few times ~ the gory moments are not gratuitous and i thought the balance was perfect~100 times better than the woeful Session 9 film i recently reviewed~If you like this film i would recommend Dread (2009) and if you want me to babysit please call 0666 666 666 666~

sexxy_vampress The movie started out seemingly, acceptable. When the "babysitter" began speaking to the parents I figured they were the horrid focus of the film. I assumed they had something to do with being the stalker of the girl. The family seemed utterly uncomfortable in their character's. Unbelievable, altogether. I assume it was due to the budget; however I also guesstimate it has something to do with the fact, that the film itself was an incredulous hunk of junk. It is one of those, love to hate films. Now I have to say, bad press is better than no press, which in turn means I am actually justifying the movies existence by even wasting time writing about it. The movie had no idea what it wanted to be. A stalker original, babysitter horror, or a satanic film. I am just a guesser of movies, I always know the ending before it happens, and no one likes to watch movies with me because I am always right. From the get go, I saw the parents were bad. From the point of the child having a special diet, I knew it had something to do with the murders. Every part of the movie attempts to indicate fear is creeping around every corner, the problem is, if you say "boo" too many times, no one is going to jump. The movie also attempted to use horror flick music, much too often. You can't have jumpy music throughout the film because than no one is going to be nervous when the music comes up. Mislead with horror music once or twice, fine, but 60 times within only 90 minutes of film! There was another part confusing, why was the preacher acting strange, instead of following the girl around, he should have granted a heads up, to either get her assistance or get her not to go. The boyfriend being knocked out and not dying is merely a cheesy ending, if he was going to wake, he should have woken in time to assist her, if he was not going to wake in time for that, he should not have blinked to life for a second, he should have remained motionless to maintain the idea that he was dead, and surprised us of his breathing bag of useless flesh at the end of the film. The movie incessantly used cliché's preacher trying to kill a devil, jumpy shower curtain opening, grabbing the babysitter's leg after knocking the "stalker" guy out. The minute the horn's were revealed I knew the movie took a wild turn for the worst. The points of her stabbing the father once in the foot, him crying out in pain and than she merely asks him how it feels and runs. Horror movies need to have a fighter in it, if we were in her shoes, and we just got free, we would have stabbed him in the foot, and than the face. It is incredible that she also rummages though the barn while the psycho devil child is chasing her and pulls frozen food out of the freezer and tells the boy he doesn't have to eat her. Really? Come on. The mother coming out and talking to the father as he is splitting bones, asking why he is talking to the girl, like that is such a big deal. The entire thing was a joke. It attempted to be horror instead it was a comedy. The flick was lazy. The writer ran out of skit, and kept writing. I think it was a stalker movie, that the writer didn't know how to end, and the idea was changed last minute. Other Clichés: blood sprays in her face, "scary" face, zany boy, parents with lame tongues, catholic and satanic irony, cannibalism. They attempted to place too much horror in one film. I saw the crazy parents, the minute the plastic was over the furniture, I saw the crazy boy when he was on a diet, when he was hungry again after moments of eating, after eating boiling hot food and sticking it within it's own blood. The roommate picking up the boy in the end and taking care of him, was not something random to the ending, it was the idea of the entire story. Her roommate left, no her roommate was the other victim, than she took her to a board to look for a bed that had babysitter wanted, than she hung up another sign at the end...the whole movie was too much of too many ideas. You can't write ten stories make them one and think that makes a good story! I am so surprised at the rating and those claiming decent film or higher. There is no way this film is even remotely decent.

evileyereviews This flick seemed a rip-off from another rather successful horror flick, but a look at the timeline shows that it actually came out first. Inspiration for its more successful rival? With that caveat, this low-budget affair deserves an honest mention. Starting with a stale premise and relying on some annoying sound effects, this one commences to travel down the banal road of mediocrity. Thankfully, it sneaks off to be much more than that, a welcomed change of plans for what could have resulted in some rather lethargic eyes. The acting was solid, especially owing to its otherwise low rent essence. The gore was at times laughable, but this surprisingly did not detract from the film itself. The other technicalities of the film were up to par, their inconspicuous nature more a boon than a defamation. Neither unflinchingly gratuitous nor enslaved to pander to the Hollywood set,Babysitter Wanted towed the line perfectly, with a stutter stop start ending that was ultimately a pleasant relief.
