Babysitter Wanted Movie Reviews

Creepy and Gore Low Budget Horror Movie

The religious teenager Angie Albright (Sarah Thompson) moves to a small town to study Art History in college. She finds a weird roommate and befriends the student and former altar boy Rick (Matt Dallas). Angie decides to babysit to raise money to buy a bed and she finds an advertisement to work at the distant Stanton Farm in the countryside. She is welcomed by Jim Stanton (Bruce Thomas) and his wife Violet (Kristen Dalton) that are seeking a babysitter for their son Sam (Kai Caster) and they make arrangements for Friday night. Meanwhile Angie has the sensation that someone is stalking her and she goes to the police station and reports to Chief Dinneli (Bill Moseley). On Friday night, Angie’s car breaks and Rick gives a ride to Angie to go to the farm. When she is alone with Sam, a stranger breaks in the farmhouse and Angie saves Sam from the man. Soon she learns that she is in the house of evil and nothing is like she thought it would be.

“Babysitter Wanted” is a creepy and gore low budget horror movie surprisingly good. In the beginning, I thought that this movie would be a rip-off of “When a Stranger Calls” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, but the story has a great and unexpected plot point to an original development. The direction is sharp and the cast has excellent performances and the boy is really creepy. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): “Procura-se Uma Babá” (“Babysitter Wanted”)

Note: On 15 April 2019 I saw this film again.

Decent twist, unnecessary gory scene n the entire climatic sequence is shot in too much darkness.

I first saw this in 2008 on a dvd which I own.

Revisited it recently.

The only good thing is the twist.

The movie is very boring and when the action takes place, most of the climatic scenes are shot in too much darkness that one cannot make out wots going on.

There is an uncalled n unnecessary gory scene.

The movie has the same ol trope where aft hitting the killer unconscious or when the killer is down, the victim rather than hitting or bashing more, tries to run away.

How many times will they show another trope where the last girl is trying to pass the unconscious body of the killer n suddenly the killer gets up n holds the leg of the girl.

Sarah Thompson the lead actress looks like a younger version of Vera Farmiga.

We have Bill Moseley as a cop in a tiny role.

The movie started off like When a Stranger Calls n then concluded like a lousy version of Omen.

For once, I didn’t see the twist coming.

Babysitter Wanted starts off like pretty much every other babysitter in peril film you’ve probably already seen: a pretty, virginal high-school student takes a child-minding job in a remote house in the boondocks, where she experiences creepy noises, power outages, and mysterious phone-calls, before eventually being attacked by person or persons unknown. In short, it’s about as formulaic as a horror film can get.

If you begin to bemoan this film’s predictability, though, you’re playing right into the hands of its makers, whose seemingly uninspired set-up exists only to catch the viewer off guard with one hell of a curve-ball halfway through: just as the film couldn’t get any more predictable, writer/director Jonas Barnes pulls the metaphorical rug from under his viewers feet with an audacious plot development that has to be seen to be believed.

With his illusion of banality well and truly shattered, Barnes is finally free to explore new territory, but despite the introduction of some welcome black humour, a few well conceived moments of tension and a spot of surprisingly gruesome gore, the film never fully capitalises on its rather bonkers mid-point revelation. If only the madness had escalated exponentially from that point on rather than just kicking up a gear and staying there, I’m sure we’d have had another bona fide horror classic on our hands—after all, nothing succeeds like excess!
