It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's Halloween and some guy is kidnapping babysitters, torturing them, and killing them. He sends pictures of the dead to Erin who thinks they're pictures of Halloween costumes. Years ago Erin and these girls formed a babysitters club. One Halloween night two of them went home and one of them never came back. The surviving girl is traumatized and thinks she sees the killer everywhere, she's now some tough punk chick. Erin is friends with a kind old guy neighbor who's retired and a widower.This Halloween, Erin's mom leaves for a party and Erin invites three friends for a slumber party. They play the Ouija board to see if they can communicate with the dead girl and find out who her killer is. Punk chick leaves in disgust. It's not long before the killer makes it into Erin's house and takes the three remaining girls. But this time he has a sick proposition for the three. One of them is bound to a chair and if the other two don't kill her he will kill them all. At this point, punk chick returns because she's worried. The identity of the killer is revealed and the reasons for the killings as well.Babysitter Massacre is a surprisingly strong movie. If you've watched Alternative Cinema's other offerings you know to expect a low budget movie, uneven acting, troublesome sound and poor cinematography. As I was watching the previews I worried as some of them look just like the movies by AC from 10 years ago. But this one is good. Writer/director Cuoto always had potential. His previous work always was a step beyond others of its kind. And I'm glad as years have gone byy the quality of his work has steadily progressed. Babysitter Massacres looks good, has good audio, and good acting for the most part. Not only that but it has a good story and some developed characters. Many filmmakers claim to be horror fans but they give us nothing but sanitized formulaic horror movies. Babysitter Massacre is done in the spirit of the 80s/90s "The ______ Massacre" movies. It has gore, violence, nudity, characters to root for, a striking death scene.Of course this movie as C horror movie has weaknesses too. Some are expected for the budget and filming conditions. You can always ask for better image/lighting/audio, acting, sets, effects, and so on with these movies. Perhaps more surprising is how short this movie is. Too short. It would have helped to tell us more about the early victims. We only learn about the first one and a bit about another one as well. But the other scenes are just some random girl that's grabbed and put on the victim's chair. The punk chick is a bit to mean and tough, they could have defined her role as the heroine a bit more. Overall a success of a movie and I hope there will be sequels.

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.

A group of young women get back together for a reunion of their babysitters club on Halloween. However, a vicious mysterious killer starts picking off the gals left and right. Writer/director Henrique Cuoto relates the familiar, but still fun and effective premise at a brisk pace, draws the personable main characters with surprising and refreshing depth, builds a good deal of tension in the nerve-wracking last third, and delivers oodles of tasty gratuitous female nudity. The brutal murder set pieces pack quite a savage punch while the downbeat ending manages to be both startling and devastating. Moreover, it's capably acted by a sturdy cast: The adorable Erin R. Ryan radiates tremendous sweet charm as the perky Angela, Marylee Osborne excels as scrappy guilt-ridden punk rebel outcast Bianca, and Geoff Burkman registers nicely as the regretful Mr. Walker, plus there are sound contributions from Joni Durian as the meek Lucky, Tara Clark as the brash and aggressive Arlene, and Haley Madison as the bitter Cassandra. The tight 78 minute running time ensures that this picture never gets tedious or overstays its welcome. Cuoto's vibrant cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. The shivery score by Buzz Amato and Rick Hinkle hits the shuddery spot. Recommended viewing for slice'n'dice fans.

Babysitter Massacre delivers 100% on what it promises! This movie has everything you could want from a horror film! The blood flowing? Check. Creative kills? Check. Lots of nudity? Check. There is more to it though! You also some fantastic acting from the cast and you can feel the touch of someone who really understands what horror lovers want (probably because he is one himself!)! Erin Ryan and Marylee Osborne show that you can have a horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously without sacrificing the acting. Their performances really make you care what happens as the story moves along. If you want a list of others who give great performances, just go down the cast list! Aside from a few minor parts that were a little overplayed, the acting was solid. Henrique Coutro pays homage to some great 80's slashers while making something of his own. Overall, this movie was well worth the watch and the re-watch!
