The retro-look slasher Babysitter Wanted gets a limited theatrical release in the US this Friday but, meanwhile, sneaks out on DVD in the UK on the 23rd of February. The Lionsgate release offers a making-of featurette and the following cover art:
The movie is the directorial debut of Jonas Barnes and Michael Manasseri, both of whom are better known for small acting roles in everything from Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle to Psycho Beach Party, and stars Sarah Thompson (7th Heaven, Angel) as a small-town babysitter terrorized at a remote farmhouse.
Plot-wise, then, it sounds like the 1971 British thriller Fright, which featured Straw Dogs’ Susan George, but only time will tell as to whether it’ll build on the 80s vibe of recent efforts like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, or take the more torture-themed route preferred by many a post-Saw slasher… What say you?
