Babysitter Massacre (2013)
It is exactly what you think it is!
You already know if you will like it or not based off the title and trailer. No smoke and mirror show here, this is a straight up slasher movie. In this day and age where anyone with a camera phone can make a movie it is hard to create something on a budget that can truly affect the viewer. Watching this flick, I had the same feeling I had as a kid when renting a big box VHS purely off the title and cover alone. They were always a gamble and usually always a disappointment. Babysitter Massacre is everything I love about slashers...furthermore it is the best slasher movie since the Orphan Killer. Will be watching the director and his works from here on to see what kind of treat he delivers next.
The Orphan Killer (2011)
Not for everyone....
Here is the deal, if you have been reading the reviews on IMDb it is a wacky mix of amazing to shat. Personally, I think this flick is one of the better DIY slashers to come out in a damn long time. The fact that this has gotten good press from reliable sources doesn't necessarily make it a great movie. Every critic, genre nerd and movie buff has their own opinion on what makes a good slasher and that is the way it will always be. The Orphan Killer IMHO is a modern classic in terms of slasher formula. It is a perfect example of stalk and slash working flawlessly. I haven't wrote many reviews because I typically voice my opinion on the boards of the films but the mixed bag needed to be justified. Do not watch this just because of people shilling out masturbatory invites of the movie, if it looks like a movie you will enjoy then watch it. My 9 star rating is justified because I can re-watch it numerous times without being let down.
I have invited many friends over to screen this movie in a theater room and it never disappoints my friends who share similar tastes. Plain and simple you are getting great DIY effects, nudity and formulaic slasher stereotypes. If you are not a fan of bloody stalk and slash horror than skip this by all means. However, if you are looking for a modest attempt at an original killer you need to see this. Marcus Miller is a great movie monster who shares the same motive as classic killers.
