This remake of the 1979 version, which gave its starring role to Carol Kane as the paranoid babysitter, now features a fresh, new actress who plays a more modernized version of the character, Camilla Belle. I thought that this new actress played her role very well, not only as the eventually crazed babysitter, but also as a caring and loving one who is willing to risk her life for the children she is watching over. Although, overall, the movie was just about a young girl wandering aimlessly throughout a humongous house which is tucked away in a secluded area of wilderness by a rather large pond. The title of the movie is an obvious dead giveaway on what it's about once you know it is a thriller film, so I won't waste my time telling you what leads up to its climax. Now, most people may have went to go see this movie with an already biased opinion about it being just another stupid horror movie about a teenage girl being harassed by a much older man; but this movie isn't really concerning that unoriginal material. I mean, of course, all of the movie isn't completely original because it is a remake, but I thought it was definitely much better than most other horror flicks that you see in this day and age. I think that I liked this movie more than I expected I would because it was really modernized and didn't try to fully copy the original. The thing that I found most specifically modernized was the structure of the house the young girl babysat in and the style in which it was decorated. There is one specific area of the house which I completely loved, it was this little room, almost like a greenhouse, that was inhabited by a small pond and trees and stones in which fish and birds lived. That part of the house was actually amazing. Other than the sets, the movie didn't really have much else to work with so they could grab the audience with interest and intrigue. The ending of the movie will especially make you upset because it doesn't really reveal anything about who the killer is, but more about different characters in the film. A definite more elaborate version of the original classic with a little less absorption for audiences.
