Die! Sitter! Die!: Rupert


Last week I attended the Popcorn Frights Film festival in Miami Florida.  I saw several films, but I wanted to talk about a short I saw first.

Die! Sitter! Die!: Rupert was hands down one of the highlights of the festival for me.  The story is simple, a girl takes a babysitting job and things go wrong.  This is not a new concept in horror, but the twist the filmmakers drop on us is.

I was expecting an evil baby, or a slasher attacking the babysitter trying to kill her and the infant. What I got was something else entirely.

Directed by Sam and Lee Boxleiter and written by them along with Alex Holcomb, this short introduces a whole new kind of horror villain.

The short is now available online and you should definitely give it a watch.
