The Night Sitter

A bogus babysitter's plan to fleece a wealthy widower at Christmas hits a supernatural snag in this gleefully ghoulish horror. Walking Dead alumnus Elyse DuFour plays scheming minx Amber, whose curiosity about the valuable contents of a locked office unwittingly releases a terrible triumvirate of child-killing witches - known in legend as the Three Mothers - who then pursue Amber, her two young charges and other motley visitors all over a mazy mansion. A survival-of-the-fittest situation ensues, bathed in garish lighting straight out of a 1980s Italian fright film. There's also some joyously wry humour to go with all the blood-letting (human sacrifice, gouging, scalping, evisceration), while Amber Neukam really sinks her teeth into the role of a persistently vicious vamp.
