Babysitter Massacre

I have mixed feelings. For one thing, it goes back to the old fashioned slasher movies, with some updates. Adds more nudity than would have been allowed in the late 1970's-early 1980's, adds a twist with the posting of pictures, but allows the actors to do really dumb things. In some ways, that is infuriating as it degrades the women making them weak. The idea that women have not progressed in over a decade is insulting. It is Halloween, and seven years since there was a terrible murder and it seems the father still hasn't been able to move on from the loss of his daughter. And this strange man with a white bag (pantyhose?) over his head is certainly busy killing off young women. But those at risk, when they have the chance, don't seem to know about 911. So yes, the movie is populated with attractive young actors with lots of nudity, but the story is stuck in the 1980's. So either set the movie in the 1980's, or update the skill set of the victims. They still may not survive, but they might do things differently. The acting is decent for the roles as written.

When I see a title like BABYSITTER MASSACRE, I'm expecting a few things. One is nudity, because if one is going to rip off every 80's slasher film ever, the audience expects it. I also don't expect great acting (again, not disappointed), finally I want gore. I want to see organs coming out and decapitations and such. This movie utterly fails at that. Fifth graders could have done better SFX. The killer was slightly unexpected, but by the time the movie ended, I'd long stopped giving a damn.

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.

This movie is exactly what it says on the tin, so to speak. Babysitters do indeed get massacred in this welcome throwback to the glory (gory) days of the slasher films of the '80s to early nineties.

Angela (Erin Ryan) plans a Halloween party hoping to bring her friends closer together, who drifted apart after a childhood trauma. Unbeknownst to her, there's a masked killer running around murdering.... Babysitters. Who will survive? Who is this masked maniac? Far be it from me to spoil the fun. Just watch it if you love the horror of the 1980s.

Eye Candy: Pretty much all the main actresses show skin and then some

Years ago, on Halloween night, a babysitter was slaughtered -after taking a lovely bath- by a mysterious maniac. She was a member of a local 'babysitter's club". Now, the surviving members are being hunted down and butchered by a psycho stalker with a pair of snow-white underwear on his head.

He sort of resembles the aftermath of the world's most successful wedgie!

The plot of BABYSITTER MASSACRE is basic enough to not interfere with the gushy violence. The characters are walking vacuums with no reason to exist other than to be mutilated. The blood quotient is high, the nudity is non-stop, and the acting is suitably atrocious!

If you pine for the 1980's when ultra-cheeeze like this was at its zesty zenith, then this should fill the void.

P. S.- Anyone who is unable to discern the killer's identity by the 15 minute mark flunks out of slasher school!...
