BRAD RADBY’S SYNOPSIS
At the start of the movie, Rachael Lee Cook is a teen babysitter for American kids, and she lives in the desert, so she’s always thirsty.
Because she’s brave and independent, Rachael decides to go to have her college experience in Seattle, and she gets a new babysitting job through her teacher, who is Tony Todd, who was Candyman, and is also mysterious, like with the jobs he finds for his students.
She goes in her tight tank top to the new job, and the parents are Japanese, and have Japanese kids, but two of them are dead from an accident at the old well, and there’s only one kid left for Rachael to do her babysitting on. The first night she’s there, it’s all fine, except that the house creaks and she hears screaming on the roof, and it sounds like the ghost kind of screaming.
Rachael’s old house uses solar power.
The next night the roof is making noises again, so Rachael takes a look, and the Japanese kid is up there screaming, and then he pours a glass of water on his head and starts chasing Rachael around the house.
As he runs after her, he says, “Gonna get you! Gonna get you!” and Rachael is in a real hurry to get out of the house now, because she doesn’t want him to get her.
But then the kid’s dead brother and sister are there, and they pour water on their heads and chase her, too. So there are three kids chasing her, and they’re all going, “Gonna get you! Gonna get you!” Rachael turns on the lights and they’re gone, except the first one, who is in the kitchen having a backwards milkshake.
Rachael goes to talk to Tony the next day, and he says that if she goes back there, she’ll die, but if she doesn’t go, he’s going to give her a sad face on the big term paper.
This is all so ominous, so she takes a steamy shower, and there are grabby hands in the mirror, so she stops taking the shower and calls the police, but there are no dial tones.
Water is coming under the door of her apartment, and she tries to throw towels at the scary door water. The water goes backwards out the door, and Rachael is scared, but she goes back to the babysitting house because the rent for college is due in the morning.
Because her hair is still dirty from her shower, she takes a bath, and the electricity goes out, and the Japanese kids are back with their water glasses! The youngest one uses a sippy cup, like for babies.
They pour the water on, and start chasing Rachel like, “Gonna get you! Gonna get you!” but she turns a corner, and she has a garden hose, and then chases them, and she’s like, “Gonna get you! Gonna get you!”
Outside the house, Tony is with the Japanese kids’ parents, and he’s like, “Place an ad for a new babysitter,” and this gives him a creepy smile, because the curse won again.
BRAD RADBY’S PRODUCTION NOTES
1) That Fuji kid scared the heck out of me in real life!
2) Probably the scariest thing is no memes at all in this movie and that was like the first time for me on that.
3) I wanted the catchphrase to be like, “GONNA GET THIS!!!” like in The Exploders but I couldn’t get Rachael to say it. wtf
4) They made a sequel to this but I don’t see how because the water got turned off in the house in a deleted scene.
5) The last day of moviemaking I was like to Rachael, “GONNA GET THIS!” anyway and I pointed at my wiener. LOL!!!
