“Things get messy when you make a deal with the devil.”
Babysitters occupy a unique place in society. Somewhere between child and adult, they step into the family system for a brief moment in time to hold the line of parental responsibility. Of course people of all ages and identities can and do babysit, but when we think of the amateur profession, it’s a high school girl that usually comes to mind. She is polite, demure, and responsible, young enough to kick back and have fun with the kids, but old enough to take charge in the event of a crisis. Cosplaying the role of mother, she often becomes an object of sexual desire and stereotypical temptation for discontent fathers and curious young boys. McG plays with this enigmatic archetype in The Babysitter, a satanic horror comedy featuring one of the coolest and most endearing antagonists in recent horror memory.

Last month, we learned that the North American distribution rights to the action horror film Azrael are in the hands of IFC Films and the Shudder streaming service, with IFC Films having chosen a date for the theatrical release: September 27th. (The movie will then be making its way to Shudder sometime later in the year.) With the theatrical release date now just one month away, a trailer for Azrael has made its way online and can be seen in the embed above.
Directed by E.L. Katz (The Haunting of Bly Manor) from an original screenplay by You’re Next writer Simon Barrett, Azrael has the following synopsis: In a world in which no one speaks, a devout female-led community hunts down a young woman who has escaped her imprisonment.

I did recieve your E-mails and yes I realize we missed Tuesday Knight in Part 4 of our Women of Elm Street Nude series... Shame on us! Knight of course played Kristen Parker in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and got naked in the 1995 Alicia Silverstone flick The Babysitter. I also didn't realize Knight is still working today and has made appearances on some of my favorite TV shows; Veronica Mars (Tracy Holden 3 episodes, 2006), Weeds (Mrs. Fletcher 7 episodes, 2005-2008) and three episodes of Heroes!
