"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.

I thought the concept of the movie was interesting but there were plot holes. Had the story been more fleshed out I think it would've been better. I loved the fairy storyline and the acting is good. The fast climax at the end leaves the story feeling too rushed. It was nice to see that movie didn't turn out to be just the same old evil nanny horror trope we've seen before. I just think had there been more time put into developing the story it wouldve made for a much better movie.

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.

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?????

It was so stupid. The dialog was hilariously atrocious. You know that girl that really likes horses, adult coloring books, The Labyrinth, and considers herself a writer? She wrote this movie.
