SYNOPSIS
Peter Collinson directed this nasty shocker that stars Susan George as Amanda, a teenage babysitter whose night looking after a couple's son goes horribly wrong. Suspicious from the start because of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd's nervous manner, it isn't long before Amanda is jumping out of her skin every time she sees a shadow. However, the real terror starts when Mrs. Lloyd's psychotic ex-husband shows up, fresh from a mental institution, and tries to break into the house to exact revenge on the wife he hates.

Anyone seen it at all?

I haven't seen it. But the term Babysitter reminds me of the classic ..Halloween.

[CAPTAIN BLAKE]

I've seen it, and it does have a lot in common with later "babysitter horror" classics like HALLOWEEN (and especially) WHEN A STRANGER CALLS. The early scenes in particular capture perfectly the essence of babysitting in an unfamiliar, vast, and all too quiet house...much like the opening scenes of WHEN A STRANGER CALLS and it's sequel. The psycho isn't the usual silent stalker; he's portrayed as a sad, but still very dangerous, human being with extreme paranoid emotional problems. So he's sympathetic, which kinda dilutes the terror factor towards the end, but also adds a little depth to a pretty one-note sub-genre.

Very underrated, and recommended for fans of BLACK CHRISTMAS as well as the above mentioned.
