    Creepy movie about a nanny.

    Wonderful classic British thriller which still keeps you hooked in now. Bette Davis creates a wonderful 'Nanny', which really gets you involved in the character. With a wonderful supporting cast, Horrors don't involve you anymore like this did.

    NANNY!!! That's all I would have to say for this review, but I will elaborate. It's cheesy and very mockable, but a few of the scenes are quite shocking content wise.

    Bette is masterful as always, the movie is chilling.

    a very strange horror film that is truely creepy and one that deserves to stand out in the Hammer hall of fame. Very creepy as one doesn't know whether to argue that the nanny is evil or is it the child....contemplate, wonder and enjoy.

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

    Bette Davis is the glue that holds this popsicle house together. She deserved a more worthy cast. The supporting players were not horrid actors but they simply take away from the storyline. As is the case in many films where children play a central role to plot development thus r...( read more)equiring most of the dialogue.

    I admire the choice to shoot this film in black and white even the direction seemed to be nearly absent at various points of the film. The story itself is fine but they didn't explore the psychology of the nanny enough to make us feel completely sympathetic towards her plight in the end.

    Be that as it may it's certainly a good Bette Davis performance.

    I saw this movie a long time ago and I loved it. If you love Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" and "Hush. Hush Sweet Charlotte" you will love this one!

    The kid in this film is so annoying that you just hope that something vicious happens to him
