The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The Babysitter reminds me of one time when my daughter was 15, we were walking out to the car in a parking lot, and a young man probably 20 y/o or so drove by, swiveling his head as he passed. I pointed out that he had been looking, and my daughter said "Ewww! He's old!" Teenage girls think their attractiveness is like a bullet, only affecting their intended target, when in fact it's more like a hand grenade, and goes off in all directions.The movie is different from Robert Coover's short story (Google "Robert Coover the babysitter", there's a PDF titled 184 ° Robert Coover), which was mainly a vehicle for an idea about how a story could take different plot lines as characters choose different pathways. It's not really better or worse, because it's apples and oranges.The Babysitter is about The Male Gaze. It's about how males of all ages react to a pretty, nubile young woman who's just trying to babysit some kids, and not completely aware of her affect on males, therefore mostly indifferent to it.Fantasies for each male, from age 10 to age 60, play out during the film, making it difficult to keep track of what's going on in reality. The screen play seems voyeuristic, as if to try to pull you into fantasizing about Silverstone yourself (if you're a male), but time and again her character shuts it down, and reveals just a regular, no-nonsense, non-sexualized person going about her business.In the end the fantasies of three of the characters become reality, and play out as they would in real life instead of a male fantasy land, so things get messy quickly as the three disrupt their own lives within moments. Two males, the youngest and the oldest, escape perplexed but unscathed.The end of the movie is a disaster scene, apparently with a single cause, but in reality the confluence of bad decisions by three men. The last line is like a punch line that sums up the entire proceedings of the evening.
I was glued to the edge of my seat, never knowing whats going to happen next. An erotic thriller.Chilling suspense and horror.This is what alcohol does to teens.I was scared to see what happened to the babysitter with the boys and the dad. It's a sick world we live in these days.
I don't believe so (to answer my own question). I watched this movie because I wanted to see Alicia Silverstone, who I adore. In fact, her presence is the only reason why I would ever watch the movie again (which isn't something I plan to do right away). J.T. Walsh's character had no interesting characteristic other than the fact he was a pervert. And an unlikable one at that. I give this movie 5/10 simply because I would probably do the same thing every male character did in this movie: fantasize about Alicia Silverstone.
The Babysitter stars the brilliant Alicia Silverstone who plays Jennifer, obviously the babysitter, who has the affections of the father of the children she's looking after and two guys she knows. Alicia Silverstone is one of the best actress' out there and she plays and suits the role very well. This is a strange movie, but still really good and if you like babysitter thriller movies or if you're just a fan Alicia Silverstone, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.
