Bickering brothers Michael and Will set off in Will's beat up Volkswagen to attend their parents funeral. I was pleasantly surprised by this artfully crafted horror short. The acting is great, the lines were funny and the set up relatable. My only complaint was some of the scenes were dark and difficult to view what was happening. Overall I really loved it. Kudos to writer/director Joe Price.

Babysitter Wanted
(2007)
Surprisingly Good
11 October 2011
"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.
