It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Justina
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

"Babysitter Wanted" was a nice surprise. I thought 'why not?'when I saw the DVD cover. I was expecting a 'D'- rated flick & got a good twist on the babysitter theme of the 70's/80's. A first year college student, in need of money, answers a posting for a babysitter out at a farm. All the events, up to her arrival at the farm seemingly follow the 'babysitter theme' viewers are so familiar with. Once she is left alone to do her job, that's when the theme takes a turn. It wasn't what I had expected.The actress playing college student Angie, lacked credibility, but I overlooked it, as this was schlock. I was creeped out by the child actor. The actor playing the father was a refreshing treat. It's not perfect, but worth a look, for horror's sake.

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.

This is a great movie, if you have seen this and The House of the Devil before (well i did) this movie, as this was made before that. Both movies have very similar plots.Both movies start of very similar and their is one scene which is identical to The House of the Devil.This movie was really creepy, the baby sister is getting stalked by someone, someone who's keeps calling her and no one is speaking on phone to her as she can only hear, someone breathing heavily and they someone tries get into the house.Halfway into the movie, there was huge twist, which shocked the hell out me, i did not expect that at all, Fantastic twist, i loved it.After that movie got more gory and Brutal, i could not get over the twist of the movie and the movie did have a opening ending.I really enjoyed watching this movie, great plot, good creepy scenes, gory scenes, great twist and really good acting from the whole cast.This movie get 8 out of 10 from me.

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.
