Babysitter Wanted is a 2008 horror which stars Sarah Thompson, Bruce Thomas, Matt Dallas and Kristen Dalton. It was written and directed by Jonas Barnes and runs at just over 90 minutes. It's a super-creepy production and has plenty of twists involving themes of the demonic.

Following central character Angie Albright, Babysitter Wanted tells the story of the teen as she applies and is successful in getting a new babysitting job. Her role involves looking after a young boy, Sam, who seems quiet and pleasant and always insists on wearing a cute cowboy hat on his head. Angie's job seems to be going well, until she discovers something extremely dark and sinister about the boy.

Without giving away any major plot twists, Babysitter explores occult themes and demons in a unique, creepy and fun way. The film is unsettling and definitely worth a watch if you like to watch children turn into something more horrific than you can imagine.

If you like pictures along the lines of The Omen or The Exorcist then you might be onto something, yet this movie has enough twists of its own to make it worth a watch.
