The Nanny: Directed by Joel Novoa. With Jaime Murray, Nicholas Brendon, Schuyler Fisk, Nick Gomez. A young girl, Noa, suspects her new nanny isn’t from this world. Noa fights to reveal the nanny’s identity, which is more twisted than she imagined in this dark fantasy tale.

“The Nanny was a pick and mix movie for me, I went in knowing nothing but was happy to see Jaime Murrays name pop up on the opening credits. I would class her as one of my favourite actresses and just donu0026#39;t think she gets the recognition she deserves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHere in The Nanny she puts in a career best performance, but in the end it simply didnu0026#39;t matter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Nanny tells the story of a single mother who (Shocker) finds herself needing a nanny for her two children. In comes Ms Murray who is a mysterious woman that everyone deems perfect for the job, except the daughter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTruth be told the first half of The Nanny is excellent, itu0026#39;s so well crafted, beautifully shot and gripping. Then the second half comes and it all falls apart, I mean really badly! A combination of silliness, poor sfx and rushed concepts ruin what was primed and ready to be an excellent film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePart horror, part fantasy this dark fairytale also stars Nicholas u0026quot;Xander from Buffyu0026quot; Brendon and Schuyler u0026quot;Country Singeru0026quot; Fisk. Itu0026#39;s heartbreaking to me when a film with such potential falls apart as badly as this did. I would love to see someone reshoot/rewrite the second half as it has unlimited potential!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSadly itu0026#39;s potential squandered, though Murray is excellent and the first half is very enjoyable the rest of the film is an utter mess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst halfu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJaime Murrayu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMasterfully shotu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSecond halfu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome goofy sfxu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLots of unanswered questionsu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThings I Learnt From This Movie:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJaime Murray seems to connect herself to flawed moviesu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s always nice to see Nicholas Brendon take time out of his busy schedule of prison to make movies”
