Un enfant diabolique

I actually really enjoyed this, as a made-for-tv rainy afternoon film. It's much better than your average film.

In good thrillers like "Deep Red" by Dario Argento, you probably don't see it coming until the very end. When you know exactly how a movie is gonna end by the 20th minute or so, it can't be much of a "thriller". That said, music and atmosphere would be the only points worth saving here.

I fail to see how this rates a 5.5 When better but still cobbled together shambolic films are rated lower. So much that is wrong with it . Easier to rate the good bits. Only one. The friendly chat between the two young women at the start of the film. That was believable People who contributed to the 5.5 must have questionable taste in films.

There are 10 minutes left of the movie, but the ending is pretty much a given. One thing that struck me throughout much of the movie was the old-fashioned looking house-inside and out-and the old-fashioned hairstyle of the housekeeper. This made me think of both "Rebecca" and "Jane Eyre", and I cannot help but wonder if this movie was an attempt at an homage to earlier mysteries such as those. I miss movies like those. These newer ones rely a bit too much on violence. That being said, I mostly enjoyed this movie, and I wondered for awhile which character was the villain. Some of the acting was pretty good, some was not.

This is movie about killer of nanny, not vice versa, in case of misunderstanding. It is a bit too typical, that is only reason why there is no 10 stars rating. It is filled with fear, worry, mystery, enemies, lies, crime, disappointment, misunderstanding, jealousy, hate, and evil. In the end mystery is resolved thanks to main character. Truth came into light. Lesson is to beware of lies, enemies, neighborhood, and suspicious relationships. Sometimes our feelings will tell us if something is wrong, then we should take matter into our hands. We should take care of children, as they can be damaged by criminals.
