It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I KNOW that this is mainly just me, but sadly, as much as I loved the old-school Horror feel of the film, I just could NOT stand the bloody awful sound design. I know... I've mentioned this in the past. But, when EVERY sound, every paper rustle, every footstep, every car door opening, wheels on gravel, clothes rustling with every movement, even lighting a frigg'n MATCH for God's sake, the sound is cranked up so damn high that it just takes me out of the movie. Period...Too bad too... And, in all honesty, this probably won't bother a lot of other people like it does me. But, to me personally, it is SO damn amateurish and SO frigg'n UNNATURAL, that for me, I just cannot get immersed into the film, no matter how great everything else is.All I can humbly suggest is this...PLEASE, for all that is Holy... Keep the damn sound design NATURAL, like we would normally hear things when in the room with these people. Bloody STOP cranking EVERY damn sound up to 100 decibels, okay...?A real shame too because I'm sure that if I could have taken a couple of Valium or something to keep me from going insane (well, MORE insane...) I would genuinely have loved to see how the film turned out.PLEASE... a simple warning to all aspiring and beginning film makers... PLEASE do NOT fall into this stupid, HUGELY distracting amateurish trap that so many new directors do. LISTEN to your work... Think about the audience and how they are hearing and perceiving things. KEEP it bloody NATURAL so that we can get absorbed and lost in the story, okay...?

Well, I went to see this movie somehow with high expectations even though the rating was not the best one.. The movie begins in a speed mode. We see Angie (Main Character) departing to a College far away from her hometown. In 10, 20 minutes, she discovers all the town and get herself in a job (apparently she got out of her hometown for the first time) even though she heard about the missing girl. Despite all of this, she begins a new romance with Rick. The movie was on an average run until the babysitter job came out. The movie gives us the idea that there is going to be a stalker. BUT, when the stalker is caught, the kid reveals himself to be the Devil (with horns). I mean, what the hell!? We knew that there could be something strange with that meal served, and some other strange facts, but a devil with horns?! Since there, I could not take this movie seriously. I spent the last 40 minutes waiting for the end of it, almost falling asleep sometimes. The one thing I could say it was a positive note in the movie is the acting of Jim Stanton. He did a pretty good acting, specially in his speeches on the murders scenes. The rest of the cast/acting was not that good, the soundtrack is boring. There were somethings that I didn't understand (the moments when we thought the priest was a murder, and he was doing calls and waiting so much time in front of the house)...And the last words of the movie "We need to pray" Simply awful, waste of time. 1/10, one of my worse ratings ever

What initially looks like being a usual babysitter-in-peril style slasher soon turns into something else in this 2008 horror movie. Unfortunately, that something else – achieved via a hulking plot twist that takes place around halfway through – is far from good. Instead, it's cheesy and smells faintly ridiculous, failing to really add much to the movie in the way that you'd expect.Things start out on a clichéd path with a pretty young college student accepting a job at a remote, run-down looking farmhouse. From that point in, it's all predictable false alarms and jump scares as the camera prowls around outside, of course there are some dodgy phone calls and the lead actress does her best to look terrified. After that, the film turns into something like a retread of THE OMEN, only done more obviously and without the same taste and refinement as that movie.The filmmakers throw in some torture scenes in a bid to appeal to that particular market, but the effect is muted and lacks the kind of stomach-churning queasiness that other torture films like HOSTEL brought to the table. In the end, it all feels rather low budget and lacklustre, as if the directors feel like they've gone all out in making a really good movie when in fact this is a tired and predictable outing that covers familiar ground for the zillionth time in a row.

This is a great movie, if you have seen this and The House of the Devil before (well i did) this movie, as this was made before that. Both movies have very similar plots.Both movies start of very similar and their is one scene which is identical to The House of the Devil.This movie was really creepy, the baby sister is getting stalked by someone, someone who's keeps calling her and no one is speaking on phone to her as she can only hear, someone breathing heavily and they someone tries get into the house.Halfway into the movie, there was huge twist, which shocked the hell out me, i did not expect that at all, Fantastic twist, i loved it.After that movie got more gory and Brutal, i could not get over the twist of the movie and the movie did have a opening ending.I really enjoyed watching this movie, great plot, good creepy scenes, gory scenes, great twist and really good acting from the whole cast.This movie get 8 out of 10 from me.
