Find It...
Pretty university student Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) needs money for new accommodation, so she accepts a babysitting job posted on a notice board. (There. I just described the first 20 minutes of the film.) The people who hire her are creepy and weird, and oh, by the way, the job isn't really babysitting — it's looking after an elderly grandmother. Samantha accepts after raising the price of the evening's work to $400. (There. I just described the next 20 minutes of the film.) She bums around the house by herself for a long, long time, until — surprise! — the owners of the house turn out to be Satanists, and they tie her down to a pentagram.
Seventy minutes of this 90-minute film are nothing but grinding, infuriating tedium. That time is not spent developing characters or building suspense. It is just quiet footage of a bored, occasionally spooked girl listening to a Walkman and ordering pizza. Even the finale is weak, illogical and completely predictable to anybody who can read the title of the film. Unforgivable. Don't waste your time.
