A suburban family chooses seemingly sweet Peyton Flanders as their newborn's nanny. Only much later does the infant's mother, Claire Bartel, realize Peyton's true intentions -- to destroy Claire and replace her in the family. The nail-biting suspense builds quickly in this chilling psychological thriller about deception and bitter revenge.

Back in the 90s I only watched half of the film and glad to of watched the full film because it was great with plenty of action and with a strong plot and Rebecca De Mornay played her revenge villain role great! It reminds of her character In the film Mother’s Day. XD

At first I was a bit skeptic due to some very early, cheesy acting/lines. But I was surprisingly on the edge of my seat the whole time. I felt as a thriller it went above and beyond in the story line to keep audiences constantly guessing what the main characters will do next. I'm very glad I watched this film, I even got my sister who hates movies like this to be glued to the television!
