Beautiful and chilling....

"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.
