Directed by Curtis Hanson • 1992 • United States
Starring Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Matt McCoy
A seemingly perfect suburban family’s idyllic life is shattered when they hire a new nanny in Curtis Hanson’s precision-crafted, VHS-classic thriller. At first glance, Peyton (Rebecca De Mornay in a villainous tour de force) seems to be the perfect caretaker for the two young children of Seattle housewife Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra). But beneath her warm exterior, Peyton harbors a chilling vendetta against the unsuspecting mother she blames for her own personal tragedy. As Peyton insinuates herself into the family’s life, trust turns increasingly to terror.
