Plot

It's back to the 80s and student Samantha, desperately needing some dosh (as students in those days did), takes a one-off well paid job as a baby (OK nanny) sitter. Stuck on her own for a night in an isolated, spooky cottage deep in the Connecticut woods she gets a severe case of the heebie-jeebies, and not surprisingly as she's in mortal danger. This highly credible frightener combines elements of the haunted house, slasher and occult themes from an earlier era, and it's no satire - trust me.
