Babysitter Wanted poster

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

The slightly familiar looking poster above is the
latest for the film BABYSITTER WANTED, a very cool, retro sounding horror
film that’s being directed by Jonas Barnes and Michael Manasseri, as well as
being written by Barnes.

First off, let’s get the synopsis outta the way.
BABYSITTER WANTED is about a girl named
Angie Albright,
who journeys far from home to attend college in a small mountain town. While
looking for a job babysitting, Angie learns about the recent disappearance of a
female college student and the horrific murder of another girl in the next town
over. After a number of unusual occurrences, Angie’s paranoia takes holds as she
suspects that someone might be following her. Angie’s suspicions turn out to be
true when she finds herself trapped by her strange assailant while babysitting
on a rural farm. However, things are even darker than they first appear. Angie
must fight to survive a night filled with unimaginable horrors.

I’ll admit that I dig the
sound of the film, and it reminds me of that sub-genre of 80’s ‘B’ horror. The
whole concept of the babysitter and a killer is solid gold baby and truthfully I
don’t think it’ll ever get old.

Now the poster. I can’t
believe how much it looks like the poster for

TURISTAS (seen below). It seriously looks like all they did was
change the eye color and add a hand. Is it just me, or does it seem a little
deliberate? There
are several other stills from the film over at
IMDB,
including a different poster altogether, so maybe this was made to
replicate the
TURISTAS one. So what are the thoughts from
ya’ll about this! Spit some bullets below to let us know.
