I love this movie so much

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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

I guess the reviewers who gave this movie a 3 or more stars REALLY don't get out much. I must admit, I did enjoy this film up until the kid lost his cowboy hat then, it was an utter train wreck. Did someone cut the priests vocal cords and forget to let the viewers know? Dad worked in a meat packing plant and yet he has to mark up the bodies in order to butcher them correctly???? I am a butcher and, even as a beginner, I've never had to diagram hanging beef in order to cut it correctly. So let's hear it for bong hits for Jesus!

"Try to be a nice guy and that's the thanks I get!"Babysitter Wanted is quite similar to the movie House of the Devil in many ways (though it preceded it by about a year). Both movies have a similar premise (young woman at a small college taking a rural babysitting-type job at a spooky locale because she's desperate for money), both try to scare you by slowly building tension (at least, initially) in a large, quiet house, and both have similar sources of evil as the heart of the threat to our unsuspecting heroines. The main difference between the two movies, though (besides a gruesome twist or two), is that House of the Devil is just better. It's more frightening, more interesting, and more memorable. That's not to say that Babysitter Wanted is bad or not worth watching. It's a sinister movie that's shot well, and I didn't find much reason to complain about the actors (though there is a faintly ridiculous monologue almost an hour into the proceedings that would have been better left out). The story is simple and violence and gore are certainly present (though it happens off-screen as often as on). The last 45 minutes or so are quite different from what comes before, so be prepared for a shift in tone. The final act is where the two movies really separate themselves, and that's really where I think House of the Devil completely outshines this. Maybe I would have appreciated Babysitter Wanted more if I hadn't seen a superior,similar movie that I couldn't help comparing it to. Give it a try if you'd like; there are far, far worse horror movies available.

What a pleasant surprise ~ a really good horror with suspense and scares~First 20 minutes was a little slow but it picks up big~time~As long as you go with the flow and accept the plot developments for what they are then you will have a great time~It will have you squirming in your seat a few times ~ the gory moments are not gratuitous and i thought the balance was perfect~100 times better than the woeful Session 9 film i recently reviewed~If you like this film i would recommend Dread (2009) and if you want me to babysit please call 0666 666 666 666~

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.
