Nanny Cam
Linda has a seemingly perfect marriage with her rugged and handsome husband Mark and an adorable 8 year old daughter, Chloe. But when Chloe is injured by an elderly babysitter who has slipped into dementia, Linda wants to ensure that her child is never hurt again. Initially, Heather, the new babysitter, seems like the ideal addition to this practically perfect family. But Heather is a schemer who exploits the cracks in Mark and Linda's relationship, and delights in the resulting chaos. As Linda later learns, to her horror, Heather's intentions go far beyond the mischievous.

Absolutely the worst movie.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
I didn't expect great things, but beyond the predictable and absurd story line, the acting is, for the most part, pretty ordinary to out right horrid, and the direction and editing pedestrian at best. And please don't even start me on -spoiler- the scene with the old baby sitter, who is watching TV when she suspects someone is in the house. You can hear dialogue from the TV but when we cut to the TV it's the iconic shadow on the wall shot of Nosferatu walking up stairs. A silent movie. Silent. And really, could it be any more clichéd? Cut to scary, shadowy tree branches, creepy statue.... Blergh. Basically.
This film sounded like it was going to be like.. basic instinct or fatal attraction but it was nowhere near as good. The film starts with busy mum and dad needing to replace the dementia suffering nanny.. and of course a hot seemingly perfect teenage heather comes along at the right time. The dad and child love heather and that's her plan. Meanwhile the mum is becoming increasingly suspicious of little miss perfect - and with good cause. When left alone heather is poisoning the little girl against her mum, then drugs and sleeps with the dad ensuring it's all on the nanny cam. I didn't enjoy this movie because the story was slow and predictable with no excitement at all. From start to finish you can guess what will happen next . acting was OK. Not great. It doesn't compare to similar movies and I. Would not recommend
Working mother Laura Allen and handsome, well-built husband Cam Gigandet (as Linda and Mark Kessler) leave their little girl with elderly, hard-of-hearing babysitter Carol Herman (as Barbara Highsmith) and a mishap occurs. The couple reluctantly hires attractive young India Eisley (as Heather Lambert) as a new babysitter for gap-toothed little Farrah Mackenzie (as Chloe). The teenage babysitter shows off a hickey on her upper thigh to bond with the little girl, who is scarred from the opening incident...Because she and Mr. Gigandet are often out working and don't want another unexplained incident to occur, Ms. Allen sets up a hidden camera to monitor events in the home. Of course, the sexy babysitter becomes a star. There are also some startling revelations...This formula has been done before, and much more memorably. "Nanny Cam" stumbles around its titillating situation. The biggest thing caught on tape is disappointing; it's obvious the supposed male "abductor" is not even participating in the act, but nobody seems to notice. This is the first time producer Nancy Leopardi takes credit for directing a feature and she works well with the actors. As a seemingly psycho teenage sex object, Eisley shows a great range of emotions. The ending disappoints.**** Nanny Cam (12/28/14) Nancy Leopardi ~ India Eisley, Laura Allen, Cam Gigandet, Farrah Mackenzie
Lifetime Movie Network got it right this time with a great spin on the age old "hand that rocks the cradle" concept!I'll give no spoilers here, only to say that they did just enough tweaking on the thriller movie concept that was undoubtedly done best when played by the beautiful Rebecca De Mornay as the sexy-psycho-sitter, Peyton.LMN kept all the key factors that made this type of thriller work, and added a few, fresh concepts that really, really did work all in favor of the movie.All 3 of the key characters were, IMO, perfectly cast for each of their respective roles in the "love triangle", so to speak, with the husband/wife duo, and pulling up the rear is the devious lolita nanny, Heather.Impressive, IMO, when looked at for exactly what it is..a made-for-TV- movie!..Watch and enjoy, I say.
