this has been around on tape at me since i was a kid, and i saw it some years ago, and i think i was rather suprised at how good it was. at the time i found it quite a suspenceful piece if i recall right.


the temptress in this old house,
sorounded by pines and moon outside,
folks are tripping around inside of here,
but she said, peter, were going upstairs,
can't resist her, i'm trapped like a fool,
and all night she gave me a loving full,
had me moved in her spell til noon,
nothing i ever done,
to justify this love,
but this temptress, she catches me with her spell,
and holds me enchanted, until noon is here again.

It's been a couple of years, but I remember it being a great movie. Certainily frightening in places but worth seeing for some of the best shots of Susan George's legs.

"Ian Bannen was great at playing a complete wacko"

Agreed. He was truly brilliant, and I'd not been aware of his pre-90's movies, having assumed him as one of those actors who'd been in bit parts for 40 years then found himself alongside Mel Gibson in Braveheart and taking the lead in Waking Ned. But no - He'd been in lead roles for decades and was able to do horror and comedy equally brilliantly.

Check Ian Bannen out in The Hill for another excellent performance.

Such a pity about what happened as he was surely on the brink of a comeback.

Great film and apparantly the first 'babysitter' movie, shame our film industry fell by the wayside of Hollywood. Susan George was also great in Straw Dogs, she pants very well - a childhood pin up of many English men I'm sure.

its OK, I give it a 5

that's a pretty good score

reply

I gave it a 7. The acting is really great, with Susan George and the others turning in great jobs. But it lost points for me with plot stupidity. For example, Susan is a pretty smart girl for the firt half of the film, then she starts to see a strange man creeping around the outside. Then her boyfriend ends up attacked, and a stange man carries him inside, claiming to be a friendly neighbor...and Suasn belives it!! Of all the stupid things to do!

*****Spoilers*****

The first part of the film succeeds in building up the atmosphere but the second half is rather silly. I agree that Amanda the babysitter appeared to be smart and resourceful at first, but after the boyfriend got savagely beaten, she seemed to have lost it completely. What she did later was incredibly stupid. She was babysitting in a desolate mansion, but when she saw her battered boyfriend, suddenly a "neighbor" appeared within a few seconds. So wouldn't that suggest immediately that he was the one responsible?

Then later she had sex with the stranger who turned out to be the boy's biological father. I am not sure whether she did it willingly or was too frightened, but she did absolutely nothing to resist and did not even try to run away or scream.

When the crazy guy tried to strangle the mother, Amanda should have just killed him with the knife and she would have become the hero. Instead she just made a superficial wound on his face. Then when everything was under control, she suddenly shot him with the gun, and for that she would have been sent to prison or (if she was lucky) a mental hospital.

And where did she get the gun?! The ending made absolutely no sense.

reply

The only thing that made no sense to me is ¿Where did she get the gun? As to why she shot the psycho I have to say that she was traumatized and people dont always make the right decisions under those conditions.

reply

I kinda hope she wasn't raped, but they kinda implied that she probably was. I think they had a long shot of the staircase and then they cut back to the room and he was asleep. As far as not fighting back, I think she was playing along as Helen to protect the child.

Susan George was a beautiful woman.

I gave it a 7. It's good. Really creepy and atmospheric. And, in my opinion, very scary in places.

"Hey! Ladies! That was fun!"

reply

I'm a woman, but I swear, I'd go gay for either Susan George OR Honor Blackman!

I liked it quite a lot, I gave it an 8.

~Spoilers~

Still, I have the same complaint as others. To make the shooting more credible, perhaps she could have stolen or wrestled away a gun from one of the cops or something to make it less, "Huh??!"

Why didn't she kill him w/the mirror while she had the chance? Cutting his face didn't really help, did it?

And why in the hell did nobody rush into the house to get Helen after the gas bomb went off? Preposterous! The poor thing had to crawl out on her own!

I'm glad she killed him - I'd give her a suspended sentence b/c of all she went through.

I quite liked Chris too. Wish his fate would have been different.

Unbelievable: Amanda accepting the killer's word that he was a neighbor. Very convenient. She didn't even tell him that a minute ago someone was trying to break into the baby's room! WTF?

But the pros definitley outweigh the cons on this one. I'd watch it again.
