The Babysitter

Once I realized this one wasn't going to be as "fun" as the other Silverstone sleazefest, The Crush, the mood on this one fell rather quickly into the very, very dark and highly cynical . Essentially the message is that males, ranging across a broad age spectrum, really, really want to get a piece of Silverstone's pink, an act that would be, for some legal, others - very, very not. Either way we're treated to seeing these fantasies which range from sexual to murder (sometimes both simultaneously!), and rape to machoism. And no not masochism, though that could be argued.


I have to assume part of the motivation for Ms Silverstone's very strict health and vegan regimen (and then some ... it seems at times!), is to cleanse herself from the stain this left on her CV and filmography, and of every person involved in this effort.


It's one of those films that are SO bad, that they're ... TERRIBLE - an unpleasant experience all around.
