The Nanny

I do understand if some people get disappointed if they believe it is a horror movie they are going to watch. This movie is not scary unless maybe for kids.

I believed myself I was going to watch a science fiction movie and it is even less that except for some weaponry.

But if you like me love a good or is it bad fairy tale then this may be the right movie for you. This movie is not a gem but it was fine entertainment for me and I do not regret spending my time here. So if you are into fantasy creatures of the night you may have a movie for you here. I did also enjoy the way the actor played the nanny that was kind of spooky.

If you are looking for a sci-fi or horror movie you should look other places

Started off promising but took a turn towers corny fast.

"Never forget who you are....."

I am surprised by the low reviews because I really enjoyed this movie. It is a slow-building chiller, set in modern times, about a fragile family trying to hold it together. The single mother works double shifts and needs some help caring for her emotionally-fragile (i.e. probably clairvoyant) son, and wayward daughter. Enter the nanny, who I found to be hypnotic. She is beautiful and chilling at the same time. The daughter is leary from the start, but unable to convince Mom that the woman is not right. In the meantime, mom befriends a local neighbor man and we soon learn of his history and motives, which prove to be rather disturbing. I did not find this movie confusing, nor did I find it leaves you hanging. If you listen to all the dialog, everything will make sense in the end and no one is who they appear to be. Their motives are not so transparent as we thought. It was very atmospheric, no jump scares, no gore. Just a beautiful and chilling story.

The movie started out really awesome and the concept was amazing but things got bad pretty quick. Jaime Murray was fantastic!!!! But the girl who played Noa had this constant smirk/grin on her face like she was about to burst out laughing at any moment and was trying to restrain herself from doing so........just BAD acting on her part. Towards the end it gave us a cheap Sci-Fi feel. Another one of those movies that could have been REALLY good if ONLY someone had thought it through and cast a good actress for the lead instead of someone who obviously did not know how to act......who auditioned her?????

Started off good, and had an interesting story throughout. But, as it went along things became a bit jumbled and low budget. The nanny's costume towards the end was awful - they would have been better off without it. So, so close to a good movie.
