Sorry, this movie sucks
MamaGravity
good back-story, and good acting

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

A family needs a babysitter and cute Heather (India Eisley) with a hidden past seems perfect. Wife (Laura Allen) installs cam. Dad (JCam Gigandet) enjoys cam. We have seen this genre played out ad nauseam.Lifetime didn't add anything to the mix.Guide: No f-bomb or nudity. Sex scene.

I didn't expect great things, but beyond the predictable and absurd story line, the acting is, for the most part, pretty ordinary to out right horrid, and the direction and editing pedestrian at best. And please don't even start me on -spoiler- the scene with the old baby sitter, who is watching TV when she suspects someone is in the house. You can hear dialogue from the TV but when we cut to the TV it's the iconic shadow on the wall shot of Nosferatu walking up stairs. A silent movie. Silent. And really, could it be any more clichéd? Cut to scary, shadowy tree branches, creepy statue.... Blergh. Basically.

I didn't expect great depth from this film, but thought it might be entertaining. Instead, it was annoying because of the corny lines and ham acting, totally unbelievable and largely predictable. I've seen better acting school plays than than this film. It starts, predictably enough from the title, with a working mum who wants to spy on her nanny after an accident the old one. Along comes a girl in the nick of time making cow eyes at her husband and being the new bf of her 5 year-old. Of course she's a psycho with a dark past, who tries to frame the wife, seduce the husband & abduct the daughter. The whole thing comes to a sticky, if predictable, end, although the last scene, the "twist", I hadn't guessed, although I don't think it added anything to the film. It was the lack of depth to the characters, the weak dialogues and wooden acting which make the whole thing rather risible and tedious. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law wanted to watch it to the end, along with gasps of "oh, what a bad girl" which was more amusing than the film itself. I'm glad she enjoyed it.

Sadly, I watched this whole movie hoping it would get better by the end. The movie is unbelievable from the beginning. Starting with the father who leaves a nail gun in the yard while his young daughter is outside playing in that same yard. The idea that this is as good as the hand that rocks the cradle movie is all wrong. 1. The couple that hires this girl as a babysitter calls one number as a reference and then hire her. Oddly, even though the wife suspects something isn't right, she doesn't fire the girl until late into the situation. Even when the babysitter goes against what she's told her to do. She just let's her work in her home all day as a nanny ... opting to just put in more cameras in the home. Really?2. The husband was a bit of a jerk the whole movie and never tells the wife about all of the suggestive behavior by the babysitter and that she had basically raped him? Really? He comes clean after the babysitter managed to put a recording of them having sex in the wife's work video.3. The babysitter kills the old lady who was the original babysitter, and no one figures out anything. Really? 4. The babysitter kidnaps the couples daughter in like 5 minutes from the upstairs bedroom? Really?5. The babysitter is pushed from the 3rd floor window and hits the ground ... yet she manages to get away? Really?There's more to say but I'm stopping here because there's nothing good to say.
