Jocelin Donahue stars as a young college student named Samantha. She is tyring to get out of her tiresome dorm life and find a place of her own.
She manages to find a nice place, but must come up with 300 dollars by the following Monday in order to keep it and move in. She sees an ad for a babysitting job and gets accepted.
When she arrives at the house she is spooked by the people who live there. A man named Ulman (Tom Noonan) and his wife played by Mary Woronov.
At first she balks then accepts when Ulman offers her 400 for 4 hours work. Then the terror starts as Sam discovers more than she ever wanted to about the house and the couple who live there.
Tgey are Satanists who want to use her as a vessel for an evil spawn. The ending is heartbreaking and bizarre. The last 40 minutes of this filmnare exactly what a horror film should be....fast paced and scary.
There are some shocking scenes in this film, but the climax is something else indeed. I won't spoil it, but it's classic. This is another horror film I would recommend very highly.
The rest of the cast includes Dee Wallace, Greta Gerwig and AJ Bowen.
