Nanny Killer

About This Movie

Nanny Killer (2018) directed by Jeff Hare offers this quietly unsettling atmosphere right from the get-go. It's a thriller that plays on familiar tropes—like the seemingly idyllic summer job—but weaves in a tension that feels palpably off. The pacing keeps you on edge, with moments of stillness that amplify the creeping dread. The performances, particularly by the lead, are solid, showcasing a mix of vulnerability and determination. Themes of trust and deception run deep, and the practicality of the effects adds a rawness to the horror elements. It’s not ground-breaking, but it stands out in how it handles its premise and builds a sense of foreboding that lingers long after the credits roll.
