The religious teenager Angie Albright (Sarah Thompson) moves to a small town to study Art History in college. She finds a weird roommate and befriends the student and former altar boy Rick (Matt Dallas). Angie decides to babysit to raise money to buy a bed and she finds an advertisement to work at the distant Stanton Farm in the countryside. She is welcomed by Jim Stanton (Bruce Thomas) and his wife Violet (Kristen Dalton) that are seeking a babysitter for their son Sam (Kai Caster) and they make arrangements for Friday night. Meanwhile Angie has the sensation that someone is stalking her and she goes to the police station and reports to Chief Dinneli (Bill Moseley). On Friday night, Angie's car breaks and Rick gives a ride to Angie to go to the farm. When she is alone with Sam, a stranger breaks in the farmhouse and Angie saves Sam from the man. Soon she learns that she is in the house of evil and nothing is like she thought it would be.
"Babysitter Wanted" is a creepy and gore low budget horror movie surprisingly good. In the beginning, I thought that this movie would be a rip-off of "When a Stranger Calls" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but the story has a great and unexpected plot point to an original development. The direction is sharp and the cast has excellent performances and the boy is really creepy. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Procura-se Uma Babá" ("Babysitter Wanted")
Note: On 15 April 2019 I saw this film again.
