Product Description

ngie applies for a babysitting job and finds herself on a remote farm before the Stanton family and their little boy, Sam. But Angie's first night of work might just be her last when she must fight for her life to protect herself and the child. But is everything as it seems? Babysitter Wanted turns the classic "babysitter in peril" horror story absolutely on its head. Suspenseful, funny, gory and defying expectations every step of the way, this is one of the most enjoyable and critically acclaimed rollercoaster rides in recent horror cinema history.

THIS MOVIE IS BETTER THAN MOST STUDIO HORROR FILMS!!

THIS MOVIE IS BETTER THAN MOST STUDIO HORROR FILMS!!
I had heard a lot about this film and was excited to finally see it get released. The film did not disappoint. I really enjoyed Sarah Thompson's performance as Angie and Bruce Thomas' very different type of part he played. Babysitter Wanted had me watching anxiously and was very suspenseful. The directing and acting on this film were very good. It was a bit bloodier in parts than I cared for, but for the most part it was a tight thriller/suspense/action movie.It would have been nice to see the love story of Matt Dallas and Sarah THompson play out more, but I suppose they leave that for the sequel. Hopefully there will be one. If any movie deserves to go further, it is this one. I am very impressed after watching the young filmmakers behind the scenes and look forward to lots of great movies coming from this team in the future.5/5 for being so much better than these bloated studio films where they spend tens of millions and they are terribly done. Babysitter Wanted was done on a minimal budget to maximum effect.VERY WELL MADE FILM AND ENTERTAINING. Highly recommended. And to all filmmakers out there - this is how Independent films should be made!!!

NO SPOILERS. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN DRAWN TO HORROR FILMS, YET I WRITE REVIEWS OF SHAKESPEARE ALSO. SO WHEN I SAW I STAYED UP UNTIL FOUR AM TO FINISH THIS, I COULD NOT HELP IT. FIRST, THIS MOVIE HAS WON SEVERAL AWARDS AND BEEN GIVEN INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM. AS A BABYSITTER IS HIRED FOR A NIGHT AT AN OUT OF THE WAY FARM,I THOUGHT, SERIOUSLY, HOW MUCH CAN
HAPPEN. WAS I WRONG. THERE IS A MAGNIFICENT PLOT AND THE PROTAGONISTS INCLUDE IN THE LEAD, BRUCE CAMPBELL, OF THE ORIGINAL EVIL DEAD, AND MATT DALLAS, BOTH OF WHOM STARRED IN THE CULT SERIES KYLE XY TOGETHER. WHAT OCCURS AT THE FARMHOUSE IS GRUESOME, TERRIFYING AND FOR SOME......REALLY DIFFICULT TO SEE. BE SURE TO WATCH TO THE VERY END, THERE ARE
TWO TWIST ENDINGS. THIS IS FOR ADULT HARD CORE FANS. A DEVASTATING HORROR MOVIE. ENJOY.

The script, actors and scenes are great HOWEVER, becausee 2/3 of themovie was poorly lit, you could not see 100% of the action and acting of each actor after the priest breaks into the home.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really a low budget movie...
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2010

The sets and production of this movie are average budget -- better than low budget. The screen writers and director were skillful -- writing around what they had, in terms of sets, locations and props -- to give the movie a higher budget appearance. The plot is pretty good, with a few twists and turns along the way. The special FX were good, and shot to make them very realistic. This movie may not be as good as "The Exorcist", but it's better than most of "The Howling" sequels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done all except the ad pic...hmmmmmmmmmm
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019

From casting to catering, actors to action, this vid was very, very put together. I have been reviewing at this point for about two or three months and I have only given five stars to three movies (don't quote me, bad memory). This one deserves a series on a cable network.

I just noticed that the vid pic is the same as the movie, The Perfect Witness. Only the color and pupil have changed.

I kept trying to figure out some things early on and came to what turned out to be a wrong conclusion. That doesn't happen often! Each of the characters were either fully fleshed out to understand and relate to or, they were blank slates until big reveals. I don't want to ruin things for you so I won't keep on about it but, I LOVED the end.

この作品のオリジナルは本編時間が93Minutesあります
こちらのDVDの表示にも時間が1時間33分と書かれていますが噓です😱
カットされたもので87Minutesしかありません、6分カットされてます
海外と日本の両方とも同じものが届いたので、たぶんどこに注文しても同じものがくると思います
試しにBlu-ray版も買ってみましたが、DVDよりもひどいです
本編時間83Minutesで、10分カットされたフランス版です、ゴミです
作品の方もハッキリ言ってがっかりでした、期待外れもいいところです😩
グロシーンは1ヶ所だけでほかはダメダメです、エロも無し
ストーリーもおもしろみがありません🤡
他の１万円とか２万円とかの品を買えばちゃんとオリジナルが届くかもしれませんが
この映画にそんな価値はありません😎
とゆ～ことで自分的にはお勧めしません、できません🤗

3.0 out of 5 stars La Baby Sitter, il piccolo demonio e un pò di macelleria...
Reviewed in Italy on May 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
Una mezza delusioncella questo Babysitter wanted (mi aspettavo un thriller serrato alla Fred Walton con innesti satanici, invece mi trovo un horroretto che và spesso e sovente oltre il grottesco), che dopo il solito incipit alla "torture porn" :ragazza legata e imbavagliata su un tavolaccio, attrezzi da "lavoro" amorevolmente appoggiati dal serial killer di turno in classici guanti neri e martellata sulla capoccia alla vittima, che poi sfuma in sfondo nero, si barcamena tra bimbetti cattivi (vestiti ridicolmente da cowboy), le solite telefonate minacciose waltoniane, un prete sfigurato che sembra il Tor Johnson di Plan 9 for outer space e una macellazione umana (una biondina niente male) in puro stile Ed Gein (piuttosto dilatata) che sfiora la noia e và sopra le righe per la sua insistita irealtà quasi baracconesca (da scult quando Jim Stanton taglia gli organi interni sul tavolo e spezza ossa, che manco il macellaio sotto casa, per poi gettare il tutto in un...secchio!), anche se i piedini della biondina forati crudelmente col coltello per poi essere uncinati, fanno il loro effetto (forse l'unico momento "insostenibile" dell'intero film)

Qualcosa di buono c'è: la lezione di storia dell'arte inglese sulla rappresentazione del demonio , dove Angie viene perseguitata dall'oscuro figuro , Angie che tira fuori dal frigo i bocconcini di carne cruda e sanguinolenta destinati al piccolo Sam, Angie che sbrocca scaricando la pistola contro Jim Stanton, il macabro altarino chiuso nell'armadietto, i vari doppi finali-quello all'ospedale un chiaro omaggio al finale di Venerdì 13-Angie che striscia fuori dal capanno alla luce del giorno, il bimbetto malefico che , nel finale, coltello alla mano dice ripetutamente FAME, con cipiglio assassino del Cage di Cimitero Vivente

Ma alcune situazioni risibili tendono a mandare il film in vacca (il pretone sfigurato, il bimbo che mastica la carne, gli esilaranti cornini in testa al bambino che manco negli Scary Movie, lo sproloquio delirante di Jim Stanton mentre sviscera la biondina sotto gli occhi di Angie, l'inseguimento col Quad, il bacino tra moglie e marito davanti al corpo penzolante e sanguinante della biondina, "Hai fame? Mangia questa!" e sbamm badilata che sfuma in nero, il bambino che mangia SOLO carne di donna e NON di uomo-eh, mica scemo il moccioso figlio di un satanasso-)

Sprecato Bill Moseley nel ruolo dello sceriffo (doveva essere lui Jim Stanton e non l'insipido Bruce Thomas)

Insomma, Barnes mette insieme vari generi (thriller, stalking movie, bambini assassini, satanic movie, torture porn, slasher) non convincendo in nessuno di questi

Un bersaglio, in parte, tristemente mancato.

Ho il dvd francese della M6 (in quanto da noi, il film, e ancora inedito)

Un pò sgranato nelle scene buie

Versione unrated

Formato: 1.78:1

Audio: francese (2.0) e inglese (2.0)

Sottotitoli: francese

Come extra solo il trailer originale

Durata effettiva 1h, 26m e 41s

Visto in iglese con sub francesi (piuttosto dialogato, ma abbastanza scorrevole, dove non capivo alcune frasi in francese mi veniva d'aiuto la lingua inglese e viceversa)
