Babysitter Massacre

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!...

Years after a young babysitter was murdered in a small suburban town in Ohio the former members of a so-called Babysitter Club are stalked and viciously murdered by white pantyhose-masked killer.An outcast from the group is blamed for being murderer,but the identity of the killer is easy to guess.There is plenty of voyeuristic nudity in Henrique Couto's "Babysitter Massacre".Still the acting is weak and the plot is fairly routine.It's obvious that "Babysitter Massacre" pays homage to early 80's slasher flicks like "Slumber Party Massacre" or "Sorority House Massacre".If you like slasher sub-genre you may give this one a look.6 babysitters out of 10.

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.

Just....wow. Grew up in the 80s, watched a LOT of poor quality horror films in my day from bad acting to terrible scripts to massive lack of logic from characters to lack of coherent stories, etc. This film tried to be I guess a nod to those 80s low budget / low end horror movies, so maybe in that respect it achieves what it was going for. I think what it achieved mostly was being even worse that most if not all of those 80s films. Even films like Slumber Part Massacre and The Mutilator from the 80s felt more real than this. So many scenes feel self-contained, shot and spliced into order later but feel like they were instead of you feeling any real actual movie continuity to things. Cut to random girl getting taken and killed. Cut to guy someone inside someone's bedroom right after in a locked house and random girl getting killed, etc etc. Fast guy with very good knowledge of where all these random girls would be that one day. It's like these scenes are tossed into the rest of the movie but aren't part of it almost. Horrific dialogue from basically everyone (maybe two clever lines the whole script) and truly some of the absolute worst acting I've every seen on screen. The 'party' is three girls sitting on couches, one bottle of wine.....no snacks, no music, stretches of silence as they sit there or the blonde one acts like an ass to the others.....great party. The blonde is relentlessly nasty and it's impossible to see how the others would want to be around her for five minutes, let alone her being a friend for any reason. Then they get kidnapped and the Killer tells them they have to kill one of them and he'll let the other two go.....no way that is logical at all, but it takes the blond less than a minute to start whacking the tied up one with a hammer lol. Seriously took seconds to decide to do it lol. There's THREE of you, untie the one and then jump the killer when he comes back. Nah, let's just kill the one friend right away and hope for the best LOL. Ending is even better. The 'main girl' is unable to crawl out of the house with gasoline poured everywhere. Killer is incapacitated behind her. Another friend (worst actress in a sea of horrible acting and boy is that saying something) comes in, decides to not even try to pull her 'friend' away from the gas and killer trying to light the gas as he struggles to use his lighter. Just leaves and runs outside to watch the house burn after he finally gets it lit. LOL. Had plenty of time to drag her out....just doesn't lol. Then it just.....ends. Thud. Blood? Yes. Killer? Good until the unmasking. Gratuitous nudity? For sure. Worth any of it? No. It's cute how many friends of the actors and crew gave this a good score (had to be). Have spent five minutes typing this review, that's more than you should waste trying to watch this movie, but hey, you do you.

There are many of these "massacre" homage to 1980's slasher films and instantly we know just about what to expect. Considering this is a lower budget independent film, we know the picture quality isn't to be the greatest, the acting would be relatively amateurish, the gore would be either excessive and cheap looking and the tone which is meant to be menacing doesn't come off that way.

Of course as seen with these type of films, the director, writers make sure to include an abundance of "unnecessary" scenes of nudity (the typical brief shower scenes, the undressing scenes, casual rape torture scenes, and more). Essentially all the main women strip for at least a scene.

Overall it's simply a film with little creativity and originality. We have seen these premises done before and done better. Also the film isn't funny and very standard generic. No jump scares, no tension, so real surprises.

Then the twist of the villain reveal was extremely predictable which was meant to be a shocking reveal, simply wasn't. Not much was explained as to how the villain was able to go to each house with no one noticing and why they were killing off these random women. We didn't get to know for these characters so there wasn't any real sympathetic feeling once they got killed. Also very tame looking kills.
