Babysitter Wanted

2008 US Jonas Barnes
✰✰

Disarmingly-entertaining flick about a devout Christian girl who goes to college (Art History) and takes a babysitting job at a farmhouse out in the sticks to earn money. Her seemingly-normal employer family isn't so normal, however; comic-relief sprinkled horror follows! Good production values make good-looking picture, suspenseful, acting is what it should be (Bruce Campbell twin Bruce Thomas looks like he had an especially good time). But: long beginning is stronger than ending, which gets cheesy in a bad way. Soundtrack is emotionally-abusive at times, too. Gore is restricted to a handful of scenes, played over-the-top. Surprisingly, no nudity.
