Known by it’s USA VHS title as The Housekeeper, I had considered this for BTSNAT b/c it has all the right elements but when I started viewing earlier this month I felt it was just too much of a slow burn and that holds true after finally watching the entire movie. It’s just too long to fully deliver on the excellent premise. If 15-20min was trimmed this could be a taunt and creepy thriller. Still a good viewing but not for BTSNAT.
