IN THE TRADITION OF SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE AND
HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW
BABYSITTER MASSACRE
With Babysitter Massacre, director Henrique Couto (Bleeding Through, Faces of Schlock)
embraces the tropes of ‘80s cinema -nudity, dark humor and gratuitous
body count – to deliver a new and surprisingly nuanced take on the
gruesome micro-budget slasher genre!
Synopsis:
Years
ago, on Halloween night, a group of childhood friends watched in horror
as a member of their Babysitter Club was abducted by a masked stranger. Now, haunted by their tragic past, the young women plan a bittersweet reunion before heading off to college. But
on that night, a sinister guest brings chaos and fear as one-by-one the
women are stalked, mutilated and murdered…is the killer a specter from
the past, or is there a new Babysitter Club Killer?
Shot
in Dayton, Ohio, the film attracted a robust cast of experienced
independent actors and fresh faces, and is director Couto’s most
ambitious to date. Getting the right balance between gore and complexity of character was a real challenge for the director, who commented,
“I
grew up loving the slasher films of the ‘80s for all the obvious
reasons, but also because they were real stories that made you care
about the people whose lives were at stake. With Babysitter Massacre,
I didn’t want to simply reference its influences; I wanted it to sit on
a shelf next to them by telling a very serious story about friendships,
loss and leaving childhood behind.”
Independent Entertainment release of the Babysitter Massacre DVD is chock full of extras including feature film, audio commentary, behind-the-scenes and more!
