The Babysitters (2007) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a high school teenager who begins an affair with the father of the children she babysits. He starts paying her which gives her an idea to stat an escort service called the babysitters. It does every well until her network of babysitters and clients begins getting so big it will be hard to keep her business a secret.
This movie is written and directed by David Ross, in his directorial debut, and stars John Leguizamo (Spawn), Ann Dowd (Hereditary), Alexandra Daddario (Percy Jackson), Lauren Birkell (Van Wilder) and Adam LeFevre (Storm of the Century).
This movie is ultra creepy, awkward but feels possible and authentic. The cast is really good and everyone delivers solid performances. The intensity and risk of the circumstances are felt throughout the movie as are the obsessions and depiction of what could go wrong and how it would be handled. The film is well paced and while the content makes you uncomfortable, it also reminds me you of the evils that humans surely do.
Overall, this is a movie with a unique premise, taboo content but realistic scenarios. I would score this a 6/10 but only recommend it if nothing better is available.
