Weekend of Fear (WOF) is a "cult" festival for all fans and makers of horror, thriller, science fiction, and obscure movies.  Former guests of the festival include, Peter Jackson, Joerg Buttgereit, Lloyd Kaufman, Olaf Ittenbach, Timo Rose, Uwe Boll, Paul Spurrier and many more.

"We’ve held back selling the film into the German market as well as many other major foreign territories until we unveil the completed 35mm print of the picture at this year’s Cannes International Film Market.  Having the film screen at Weekend of Fear 2008, a few weeks before Cannes, will certainly increase German exposure and should benefit our sales across Europe," stated BSEG CEO Kimberley Kates. 

LionsGate UK recently purchased "Babysitter Wanted" for the UK for release this fall.

"Babysitter Wanted" will also screen at the Horrorfest in Denver, Colorado from April 18-20.  The festival runs in conjunction with the STARFEST Sci-Fi convention.  Nana Visitor is one of the film’s stars.

STARFEST is honoring Nana Visitor, as well as the 15^th anniversary of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."   For seven years, Nana played second in command Major Kira Nerys on that show. 

"We’re honored to be a part of this festival, and to showcase Nana’s talents by screening ’Babysitter Wanted’," said BSEG president David Zappone.

"Babysitter Wanted" stars Sarah Thompson (Seventh Heaven) Matt Dallas (Kyle XY), Bruce Thomas (Legally Blonde), Kristin Dalton (The Departed), Nana Visitor (Star Trek:DSN), Monty Bane (Sleepwalkers) and Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Devil’s Rejects). The film was directed by BSEG’s Michael Manasseri and Original Film’s Jonas Barnes.

I`m the type of person who judges a book or movie by the cover. When I received this movie for review, it had no case and a really great drawing of a girl with a hand over her mouth on the disc. Having seen so many low-budget flops from graduate students, I was afraid this might be another one of those. Then I heard the good reviews coming in so far, and I had to check it out for myself as soon as possible. "Babysitter Wanted" is a very nice film, fresh and engaging! Everything was professional, Hollywood-grade here. No cheesy sound effects or using Jello and spaghetti for guts. And trust me, there`s guts! Hacked limbs, ball peen hammer to the face...  Read Full Review Now!

Sometimes after watching a fantastic film you get that sudden rush of enjoyment and sheer excitement that the horror genre is head in the right way again. After watching Babysitter Wanted I had that feeling and I knew that the horror genre is still capable of pumping out fantastic films on a budget. This is one of those films that I am very proud to be able to review and let everyone know that this is a film that you have to keep your eye on. It is without a doubt one of the best films I have seen in the past ten years. So may this review serve as an open letter to all the horror fans, distributors and fellow horror critics hunt this movie down and watch it. You won't regret it. Read Full Review Now!

Another positive note is that BABYSITTER's production value was astounding; the film looked and felt like a high budget indie horror film, quite possibly theatrical worthy. The acting on most occasions was top notch, even though the dodgy attempt to trick us forced some odd and unrealistic moments. But in the end I feel that BABYSITTER is a satisfying picture, one that many of you will enjoy quite a bit. Read Full Review Now!
