Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
AleksandertheDraconian I think this is one of the best thrillers i've ever seen, really this movie has shock suspense scenes, is one of those movies where you don't know what is going to happen in the next scene.Well the movie started as a low budget movie that makes you think that it won't be good, but then it starts with the crazy obsession of the Nanny with her boss, and then the boss' daughter knows what she is planning but nobody trust her, because everybody is trapped with the charm of the nanny, and then Nanny is taking out all the obstacles in her way to get the doctor's love.It is a very frightening movie, i liked it very much, i really think that a 4.6 is not a good rating for this excellent movie.
cassiecastaway Loved this movie. I thought it was superbly DONE! I know this might shock some movie goers but it was totally entertaining. The lead actress was delightful. I enjoyed seeing her try to get her way come hell or high water. I couldn't believe I was actually cheering her on in her exploits. She was exceptional and totally believable. I disagree with the comment that it was poorly written. Loved it! Bruce B and Katherine H couldn't have been better in their roles. The Great Katherine H displayed just the right amount of creepster and made you understand why the lead actress was the way she was. I think she got the shishkabob just like she deserved. Then at the end it was fantastic when Bruce turns into the love that she dreamed so much of having.
chaplins_charlie This movie was poorly written and poorly acted. The plot was so lousy and didn't make sense. A huge rip off of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle". Tracy Nelson plays a young woman who tries to commit suicide and after being released from a mental hospital, goes out and finds a job as a nanny for a widower. She's obsessed with her romance novels and wants to live her life as in her novels. She begins to kill whoever gets in the way of her chance at the doctor and his children's lives. The whole movie itself was trash and yet again we have to cringe when we find out what good money is being used for. Tracy Nelson was the only good actor in this one but that was about it. I'd rather you stare at your walls then watch this snoozer. Give me a B-O-R-I-N-G!! What does that spell?? THIS MOVIE!!
moviewiz-4 Fantastic movie, pity if the story can be extended longer and this will make it more interesting.Some same plot with other movie except this one glues me to the seat. It happen to be premiere on HBO.By the way, the beginning and ending are perfect, that is what i like in a movie.
