Babysitter Wanted, 2008

Blimey! This was really tense. You remember all those urban myths about psychos terrorising single women when they're babysitting... well this is basically all that in a film. I was really on edge the whole way through and thoroughly enjoyed the thrills! Quite 'traditionally' scary and few bits you did see coming a mile off but great all the same. 

SECOND OPINION: Erm. I should probably start by saying that this film has so many 'Official Selections' from horror festivals around the world, I had big expectations. If I'm honest, the fact I could have bought it in Asda did put me off a little. I doubt End of the Line would be on their shelves. Anyway, for me this film took too long to get started, then cherry picked far too many ideas from more successful movies. It's just too derivative to be enjoyable. If you want to see girls in serious peril watch Hostel Part II or Wolf Creek, if you want something supernatural watch The Omen. If you want to spend eighty-six minutes feeling like you've seen it all before, get this. It's not that it's bad, it's just far too familiar.

Special Guest – Sarah: As a novice to the horror genre I was a bit worried about my second film – would I pee my pants this time?  The verdict, NO.  Although this was a better film than End of the Line as I found it a more believable horror, as in this could actually happen, it met my expectations until a certain point involving the weird kid. After this it went down in my estimations. The priest didn't do enough. I also thought this ticked all the 'things to include in a horror movie' – scared girl, scarey man, being followed by a car, can't find the keys to escape etc, etc.  Did like it though, scared slightly, blood & gore yes, suspense yes but a tad predictable at times.  6/10 I await to be scared even more!!!!

Special Guest – Marcus: It was an ok film, but not as good as End of the Line. I thought it was a little bit slow and predictable. Good gore content, though. I would recomend it as a watch. Not the greatest film, but worth a view.
