Babysitter Massacre
Tags: violence

Plot synopsis:
On Halloween, a babysitter is sent several threatening text messages, the last of which reads, "I'm not in the house... yet". Moments later, the sitter is grabbed by a man in a white mask, who duct tapes her to a chair, rips three of her fingernails out, and slits her throat. Elsewhere, Angela chats with her neighbor, Mr. Walker, whose daughter, April, was abducted seven years ago, and has recently been deemed deceased in absentia. Angela was a member of the same babysitters club as April, and when she was taken, every member of the club besides Angela blamed Bianca, who was with April when she disappeared. To try and cheer up the dour Bianca, Angela invites her to a party she is throwing, while out in the woods another girl is slain by the masked man. The killer then breaks into a house, where he murders a couple, mutilating the girl with a straight razor before slashing her throat.
Angela and her friend Lucky prepare for the party, as the killer butchers another girl and her co-worker in an office. Bianca, who had just argued with the victim, spots the murderer (whose disguise is similar to the one worn by the person she saw take April) leaving the building and tries to follow him, but he eludes her. The maniac continues his rampage as Angela and Lucky welcome their first guest, Arlene, and Bianca angrily blows off her ex-boyfriend, Tyler. Bianca visits Angela, but storms off when Arlene taunts her with a Ouija board, afterward deciding to check on the other babysitter club members with Tyler, due to her suspicion that the masked man could be the same one who kidnapped April.
After massacring a gathering of six people, the madman breaks into Angela's house, and chloroforms her, Lucky, and Arlene. Angela and Arlene awaken in the basement, where Lucky, who has been beaten and tied to a chair, informs them that their captor told her that he will free Angela and Arlene if they kill her with a hammer. As it is their only option, Lucky tells Arlene to sacrifice her, which the sobbing Arlene reluctantly does. Bianca has Tyler drop her off at Angela's house, where she is approached by Mr. Walker, who hints that he was the one who murdered April before he knocks Bianca unconscious with a head butt.
Mr. Walker proceeds to enter the basement, strangle Arlene, and unmask himself for Angela. Mr. Walker takes Angela upstairs, incapacitates her by cutting her ankles, and rants about how much he loves her; he murdered all of the others in order to free her from her old life, so that she could start a new one with him, asserting, "You will come to love me, in time". While Mr. Walker pours gasoline throughout the kitchen, Angela stabs him in the stomach, with Mr. Walker doing the same to her. Angela begins crawling away while Mr. Walker takes out a lighter, proclaiming, "The only thing more romantic than running away together, is dying together. Love is a bitch!" The disoriented Bianca enters, but is told to run by Angela, who reassures her by saying, "It's not your fault". The house erupts up in flames, and Bianca goes into hysterics as Tyler tries to console her, and emergency services approach.

Review: It is exactly what you think it is!.
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..
Strong 80s inspired horror movie.
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..
Tales from Amazon Prime #2 (babysitter massacre).
This movie is exactly what it says on the tin, so to speak.
Babysitters do indeed get massacred in this welcome throwback to the glory (gory) days of the slasher films of the '80s to early nineties.
Angela (Erin Ryan) plans a Halloween party hoping to bring her friends closer together, who drifted apart after a childhood trauma.
Unbeknownst to her, there's a masked killer running around murdering....
Babysitters.
Who will survive?
Who is this masked maniac?
Far be it from me to spoil the fun.
Just watch it if you love the horror of the 1980s.Eye Candy: Pretty much all the main actresses show skin and then some.
Everything you could ask from a horror film and then some!.
Babysitter Massacre delivers 100% on what it promises!
This movie has everything you could want from a horror film!
The blood flowing?
Creative kills?
Lots of nudity?
Check.
Check.
Check.
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!.
Watchable low-budget slasher with plenty of nudity..
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..
The title doesn't lie, but it should have in subtitles (NOT AN ORIGINAL IDEA HERE).
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..
Cool slasher outing.
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..
TIS THE SEASON.
Seven years ago April was killed on Halloween by an unknown assailant.
She was part of the babysitters club.
Now they are being killed off with only one suspect.The film lacked the dialog to be a classic, yet at the same time had some weird scenes like the candy scene with Stephanie Michael.
The slasher aspect was mediocre.
What the film had going for it was an abundance of nudity of healthy girls.Parental Guide: F-bomb, No sex.
Full frontal nudity (Erin R.
Ryan, Tara Clark, Odette Despairr, Stephanie Michael, Joni Durian)7 stars for the nudity..
Poor Man's Halloween.
It starts off pretty decently, a twenty-something-year-old babysitter, as the title leads us to believe, strips to take a bath (and might I just say that she has quite a body), right up until she is held captive, tortured, and then murdered in a not to gruesome fashion, by an unknown figure.We then cut to sometime later during Halloween, as we are introduced to our supposed main heroine, Angela, whom I guess had been friends with the girl in the opening (though, through tedious exposition, we are told that it might have actually been someone else), and just so happens to be close to the supposed father of said person.
Yeah, she really isn't that interesting, at least not as much her lesbian-like punk friend, Bianca, and I don't mean that in a positive manner.
Every word that came out of this chicks mouth made it sound like she was a transgender of some sort.
While I'll admit that the main girl's friends were nice to look at (more so than her), I won't be ignoring the fact that both said 'characters' are virtually useless.What irritated me the most was the kills; not the kills themselves, but the specific victims of them.
Not only were the kills sappy at best, most of them had no real purpose.
Whether we know who the person is or not, she (or he) gets axed off within less than a minute: mostly it's the ones played by actresses far more attractive than the 'supposed main heroine'; hell, there is even a nerdy (yet extremely horny) chick who is ten times hotter than said heroine, but I digress.THIS was nothing but a FETISH film.
If T&A are the ONLY good things your movie has to offer, I really can't help but feel sorry for you.
