Directed by Seth Holt
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Nanny, a London family’s live-in maid, brings morbid 10-year-old Joey back from the psychiatric ward he’s been in for two years, since the death of his younger sister. Joey refuses to eat any food Nanny’s prepared or take a bath with her in the room. He also demands to sleep in a room with a lock. Joey’s parents—workaholic Bill and neurotic Virgie—are sure Joey is disturbed, but he may have good reason to be terrified of Nanny.

Viewing Notes
Laundry & a movie: found this Hammer production at my library the other day. It’s the odd drama mystery that is horror adjacent (but not a horror movie, imo). It’s basically a BAD SEED story but you’re not sure if it’s just the rotten kid or if something is up w/the nanny, portrayed by Bette Davis. I guess it does have some shocking moments so sure it’s a thriller, too. Also bc it is a b&w feature I didn’t notice the line in my tv. haha
