Directed by Ti West • 2009 • United States
Starring Jocelin Donahue, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov
Director Ti West tips his hat to the slasher classics of the 1970s and ’80s with this intense, stylishly retro satanic shocker. Desperate for some quick cash, college sophomore Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue) takes a babysitting job in the isolated mansion of the creepy Ulman family. Ignoring the warnings of her best friend (Greta Gerwig), Samantha has no idea that a nightmare of unspeakable fear and torment awaits her within these walls. At midnight, in the shadow of a full lunar eclipse, the ultimate evil will be unleashed.
