It's obvious that this movie is low budget and almost anonimus production. But it's made in style of 90-s and I love it. I think that we need more that kind of movies. I gave 10/10 to support it.
Rachel (Kayla Ewell) is getting divorced from her cheating husband, who lets her know that he's low on funds and could lose their home. Forced to return to the workforce, Rachel must find daycare for their young daughter.
Upon locating a suitable facility, Rachel soon becomes suspicious when one of its employees acts in an odd manner. Her fears increase, as she feels that something just isn't right.
DEADLY DAYCARE is one of those frustrating movies where apparently intelligent people act as though their brains have suddenly evaporated. Many HIGHLY suspicious events take place while Rachel simply looks worried and takes no action, instead of immediately yanking Mia out of the place!
One such incident is so obviously serious, that when Rachel appears confused about what to do, it causes laughter rather than terror in the viewer! Ugh!
Poor Christy Carlson Romano tries her best to be creepy as Gabby, a role that Rebecca De Mornay would have had a field day playing! Alas, Gabby's just not crazy or intimidating enough, coming across as more crabby than eeevil.
This movie covers no new ground in the revenge / thriller sub-genre. It does call into question the whole idea of parenting by supermodels...

A nightmare awakens sexy brunette mother Kayla Ewell (as Rachel). The bloody accident in her dream turns out to be a big part of Ms. Ewell's "Lifetime" TV drama. Ewell lives in a huge and luxurious home, with her precious three-year-old daughter "Mia" (impersonated by sisters Ariella and Isabella Nurkovic). Heartaches in the household arise when Ewell's estranged husband Bryce Johnson (as Daniel Miller) calls his former home. A relatively poor city attorney, Ewell says he can't afford to keep paying for the expensive house and cars. Ewell is miffed. This means she must go to work. Gasp...
So, the demanding mother goes back to work. She's a courtroom sketch artist in, in cases with Mr. Johnson. They're officially separated, but not yet divorced. He wants to get back together with Ewell, but she refuses due to his cheating past. While she's working, Ewell, must put her doll-like daughter in daycare. It's preferable to hiring a nanny, which Ewell thinks would be a nightmare (and another movie). Doting daycare teacher Christy Carlson Romano (as Gabby) seems nice, albeit a trifle too personal. The title "Deadly Daycare" suggests things will go wrong, and they do...
Writer-director Michael Feifer should have received more support and advice in this effort. Someone with knowledge concerning special needs children and daycare facilities might have been helpful. The characters are incredibly stupid. Dumbest move may be when a central character places a "hidden" surveillance videotape camera in one of the daycare "cubbies" (where the kids keep their balls and books). That's really not the best hiding place in a classroom. One recess, and the camera's kaput. The little actresses playing the little girls are very cute, but they should be doing something else.

It wasn't the WORST movie I've ever seen. TBH it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. The acting was very dry even christy Carlson romanos acting was off which was surprising because she's been acting for 20+ years. It doesn't take long to figure out what's going on with this movie. There's little flash backs that show us what happened in the past to bring the characters where they are today. I love the character of Rachel. She's very beautiful and portrays a good mom. This movie is definitely twisted and has its problems which would explain why it most likely was a made for TV movie (I don't think it was in theaters) it was still entertaining though. One of my biggest gripes with this movie though is with the twins who played Mia. Mia is supposed to be 3 or 4 but they clearly used ADR to dub over their voices (clearly the twins can't act) but it sounded like they used a 2 year old with a speech impediment for the ADR. That was not the voice of a 4 year old. I don't know any 3 or 4 year olds that talk in a baby voice like that. It's actually very awkward and uncomfortable although the twins were very adorable! I was satisfied with the ending and glad that nothing worse happened.
This movie is the first movie I would never recommend under any circumstances, even if someone wanted to watch a movie about babysitting drama. The director for this movie made a seriously bad product I am sad actors had to act out. Not sure if the movie is suppose to portray it's ok to cheat, or maybe killing is ok, or maybe ruining someone's life is ok. You may find yourself wanting Gabby (the mother who had her child killed and husband paralyzed by the main characters) to win, whatever winning is to you. You may want the main characters to at least admit they're wrong and have a sincere moment where they understand just how terrible it is they did, you may at the very least want Gabby or the husband to have some relief or something positive happen, some of you may have even wanted the spoiled wife to not get back with the cheating husband and the husband who seemed the least concerned about anything they caused to not just get his perfect family back while the other family is as broken as can be. Well no one will get anything they want from this movie. There is no relief, there is no positive message, there is not a single redeeming quality about this movie. The biggest praise I can give to this movie is the quality is decent and it makes you at least watch till the end with hope that they will make a good decision of what direction to go which they never, and I mean never do. In fact they do the exact opposite near the end, showing the broken mother almost kill herself then yell at the main characters how they took everything from her, which is the last thing you see of her as she gets taken away and the main characters get their happy ending. Next we see the main characters together and the husband gets back with spoiled mother which not a single person felt heart warmed about for multiple reasons, and the husband who hit the co worker with the car is not seen again, because that completely makes sense.
Terrible movie, even if you wanted to watch a movie just to see all the things you should avoid if you want to be a Director, still dont watch this one. Just awful in every aspect, I'd give negative stars but I can't sadly
