Good thriller that tells the story of a vengeful woman who, by taking the position of nanny, seeks revenge on the family she holds responsible for the loss of her husband and her unborn child.
Rebecca De Mornay is very convincing as Peyton, the widow whom we firmly believe is capable of anything, while Ernie Hudson is good as mentally disabled social worker Solomon. Graeme Revell's music is good too, even if it is reminiscent of Howard Shore's "Silence of the Lambs".
The plot is predictable from the outset, and relies solely on suspense. Director Curtis Hanson makes this work well though, and keeps us on the edge of our seats.
