7/10
Good idea...but flawed

Warning: Spoilers
I really must be vague with this review, because there is a big twist in the middle of this film that I can only allude to. Let me say that technically, this is quite good for a low budget horror film. There is also a bit of gore if you like that. And the idea of a babysitter being terrorized is well played out here...But. And here is where I must be careful. To be fair, there are enough clues to figure out the twist when it comes, so the writer was playing fair. But(and damn I really could just come out and say what this twist is...and please read no further just in case I give away too much)with such an interesting spin, they really could have done much more. The parents are much too cheerful and accepting of what they have to do. Would not it have been much more interesting and horrific if they were really terrified of the situation they were in...yet forced to do it anyway? The father was much too insane for me and I did not believe in him. Okay, enough said. It's not bad, it's well made, has some scary parts and some gory things. Maybe you'll like it, but maybe like me, you'll say they really had the potential to do more...
