Nanny Nightmare

2017 · 90 min

A tidy domestic thriller that slowly tightens the screws as a helpful stranger becomes unsettlingly familiar.

Overview
Between working full-time, raising a young son, and trying to maintain a relationship with her detached husband, James, Lauren Bell desperately needs some help in watching her newborn, Riley. Thinking she's found the perfect solution, she hires her neighbor, Owen, to be their nanny. Owen is exactly what the Bells need and Lauren couldn't be happier. It isn't long, though, until Owen crosses the boundaries between hired help and man of the house.
