31 Days of Horror 2023 Day 07 Babysitter Massacre

 

TITLE-Babysitter Massacrre

SOURCE-EI DVD

Back last year in early December the infamous 42nd Street Pete did a big sale. Piles of DVDS,Blu Rays and other media for cheap. Had always seen the above image and said what the hell ordered 4 movies and 2 books.

So what did I get? A low budget tribute/homage to stuff like Slumber Party Massacre,Sorority House Massacre and other b horror movies.

It is Halloween night 3 early 20s women are staying at home waiting on some friends to get back from a party. They keep getting sent pictures of these friends covered in Blood. But it being  Halloween they just assume it is costume blood or a prank. Not knowing a killer in an all white mask is out killing.

Like the director says on the pretty decent commentary,you know what type of film you are watching cause 1 minute 30 seconds we get our first set of boobs. And from there until the end it is boobs and blood. 


The acting  aint bad for what is such a lower level film. Gore aint bad either. Really my only major complaint about this,and it is the same with lots of classic slashers,I know who the killer is  long long before the reveal.


Sometimes you just want to watch an almost brainless slasher that you have never seen and Babysitter Massacre fills that need really well.

The extras are decent. Two short films. A commentary. A talk with the directors from some film screening. All of decent length and containing interesting  info.

If you have already seen all the classic slashers and want something in that vein give Babysitter Massacre a watch. Just remember I don't think any actual babysitters get massacred in this movie.

Babysitter Massacre gets a B-.
