Moving to a new town to start college is never easy, especially if you’re a girl. Moreso if you’re a devout Christian girl who thinks Jesus is the bee’s knees and everyone should be nice to one another. Yeah, that’s a good way to get eaten alive in college. Luckily for Angie, the lead in Babysitter Wanted, she moves away from her mother (also a devout Christian) to go to a community college, one that apparently has dorms on campus! What the film is about is Angie answering the titular ad and meeting a nice, clean cut looking family; Mom, Dad and son Sam. Mom and Dad have monthly farmer meetings so they need someone to watch over young Sam while they’re out. He’s really not any trouble; he has a very specific diet and an affinity for one certain cowboy hat, which he allegedly never takes off. Angie’s first night on the job starts off normally enough; food, popcorn, reading. But pretty soon the obligatory spooky phone calls start coming in and she’s freaked out. This heightened state of freakness is exacerbated by the gigantic, scared behemoth who makes it a point to get in the house at any cost. Angie does her best to avoid him while trying to get Sam out of the house, but there’s a helluva lot more going on than meets the eye. |
