Young babysitter Amanda arrives at the Lloyd residence to spend the evening looking after their young son. Soon after the Lloyds leave, a series of frightening occurrences in the gloomy old house have Amanda's nerves on edge. The real terror begins, however, when the child's biological father appears after recently escaping from a nearby mental institution.

31 On 31: 70s & 80s Slashers

I like the switching between Helen’s face and Amanda’s face shots. Obviously we know Brian’s brain is tricking him into thinking Amanda is Helen, but I appreciate that they flashed their two faces so we see what he is seeing.

I feel a bit bad for Brian, but… to be honest, I really don’t know how to feel about him. However, that just reminds me that I love a good complex character.

Towards the end, it does drag a bit and I got distracted a little, but for the majority of the movie, I was 100% engaged.

Last thing: damn. I feel for Amanda. Now she has to live with all this for the rest of her life. She has to carry that guilt, for both Tara and Helen.
