Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco (A Not So Pleasant Surprise) work together once again on The Night Sitter, a horror film about a con artist who pretends to be a babysitter in order to steal from a wealthy occult enthusiast. Things don’t necessarily go to plan, however, when the attempt at the theft is interrupted by the awakening of three witches. The results aren’t so good, as The Three Mothers begin to snuff people out. The babysitter, Amber and the two kids she’s babysitting, Ronnie and Kevin, do their best to survive. Ambers friends also join in the fun, and perhaps begin to wish they hadn’t.

This premiered at a few genre festivals last year and is getting a release this summer. It's hard to figure out what's going on in the trailer, but it certainly does look freaky and unsettling.

This is somehow the third Christmas horror movie I have reviewed for Nerdly and watched this year. A fact that is only surprising because I will only watch Christmas movies during November and December. And November is only included because I have too many holiday-themed films to great through in just one month!

My love for these films just come from my love of Christmas in general. At the risk of lots of horror fans groaning, I prefer it to Halloween! I think because as a child Halloween was nothing to me, I was way too scared to ‘Trick or Treat’ and I watched horror movies all year round so that time wasn’t any more special.
