Review by richardchatten

Generally considered the definitive screen version of the oft-filmed legend. Once again she does remarkably little crying, but at least in this telling she makes a much scarier noise and the film also dispenses with the bizarre digressions of the first version and makes dramatic use of locations.

But what really gives it the edge is the extraordinary presence of Maria Elena Marques reincarnated as a black-clad nanny in black with incredible eyebrows combining the craziness of Bette Davis in the title role of 'The Nanny" (who had an equally weird scene bathing her young charge in the Hammer production) with the elegant menace and craziness of Billie Whitelaw in 'The Omen'
