Short description

Far away from the site of a gruesome murder, a teenager named Jill Johnson arrives at a luxurious home for a baby-sitting job. With the children fast asleep, she settles in for what she expects to be an ordinary evening. Soon, the ringing of a phone and the frightening words of a sadistic caller turn Jill's routine experience into a night of terror.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the urban legend "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs".
  • Camille Belle had to train with weights and run for two months to prepare for the role of Jill.
  • Camille Belle almost turned down the role of Jill because she never wanted to appear in horror films. She agreed when Simon West convinced her that it would be a psychological thriller, not a horror film.
