Adventures in (horrific) babysitting
'Babysitter Wanted' is pretty much 'horror by the numbers,' It offers little that you haven't already seen before, i.e. pretty girl being stalked by... whatever madman/beastie the filmmakers desire.
However, just because it's formulaic, doesn't mean it's that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's no classic. It won't be remembered alongside Halloween and Scream, but, if you're into horror/teen slasher, then this could give you an hour and a half's general amusement (or just under ninety minutes actually, as it's quite a short film).
A girl takes a job as a babysitter and... well, let's just say things don't turn out as planned. It's a film of two halves. It does its best to lead you in one direction, only to then pull away in another (hoping you haven't already guessed what's coming).
It's far from perfect. The director seems to want to use brief bursts of incidental music at every given opportunity. It's too much and it just gets annoying. Plus, when the babysitter is alone in the house, obviously she has no one to talk to. Therefore she - kind of - gives us viewers a running commentary of her thoughts, taking the phrase 'thinking out loud' to its literalness.
If you're into horror and easily pleased (or just very forgiving of B-movies in general) then give this one a go. It slightly raises its head above the pool of terribly generic horror offerings currently on DVD.
