I have to give credit to this film for effectively pulling off the look and feel of the late 1970s/early 1980s horror films. We didn't know anything about it when we watched it on Netflix, and believed that it was made during that time period. Even the poster art shouts out that it's not a new movie.Samantha decides to move our of her dorm because her roommates boyfriend always stays over. After finding an apartment, she looks for a job and agrees to do some baby sitting for a couple that live in the country.
Her friend warns her that the guy seems weird, but Sam decides go anyway. When it turns out the babysitting is for his elder mother, not a child, Sam decides to leave until discovering that she can get several hundred dollars for staying.
We know something is terribly wrong, but Sam has let the promise of a large sum of money overcome her common sense. At this point, the film gets really boring as Sam dances around with her walkman or walks around in the house.
The film is really nicely done, but it's sad to say my favorite part of the film is the freeze frame of the title with Sam is walking across the street.
