It wasn't notably terribly, it was written adequately enough and all, but it was just...a little unimaginative. Some things happened THEN THERE WERE MONSTERS! I personally just didn't feel it succeeded in the creepiness department at all.

And more to the point of needlessly picking things apart, no one would believe a babysitter who was mutilated herself and had her blood all over one room with a window that was smashed inwards that there was something crazy going on when it looked like a freaking bomb went off in the other room? That doesn't make any sense. Even if people refused to believe some kind of what I'm assuming is werewolf creatures broke into the home, they couldn't reasonably believe it was her. Maybe she COULD have saved more people if rather than running away like a clown she'd calmly told people about what really happened while getting some medical attention.

And I'd assumed it would be insinuated that the parents were the creatures themselves, but it rather looks like the whole thing was supposed to be entirely coincidental. That seems like a very wasted opportunity from a narrative perspective; the parents hired a babysitter to deflect attention from them before turning into werewolves and mercilessly attempting to devour the babysitter and their children would've been a more clever plot, but the seemingly entirely random appearance of the creatures doesn't make a lot of sense.
