Baby Sitter

About This Movie

So, 'Baby Sitter' from '82 is a wild ride, isn’t it? It’s this weird blend of horror and romance that feels a bit off-kilter. The premise is just bizarre — a young babysitter deals with a rather unconventional baby. The film is steeped in a gritty atmosphere, almost uncomfortable at times, which fits the twisted themes of exploitation and voyeurism. The pacing is a little uneven, often dragging where it feels like it should ramp up. The practical effects may not be groundbreaking, but there's a certain charm to their rough edges. It’s definitely a conversation starter and not something you’d find on every shelf.

This film has had limited releases and is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. The various formats it appeared in, including VHS, are scarce and can fetch a good price when they pop up. Its odd premise and controversial themes have garnered a niche interest among collectors who appreciate the darker edges of 80s cinema. While not mainstream, its cult status is solidified among those who seek out the more eccentric titles from that era.
