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.

Solid story, flawless performance.. but yet it’s all orchestra and no music for me. The film works, & I enjoyed it in spite of that feeling.

A lot of movie logic that is kind of distracting, but it's well acted and there are plenty of thrills. Not unexpected, but still exciting

It’s predictable by today’s standards but is such a fun classic to revisit.

Great pace, some 90s character decisio-making tropes, but very satisfying watch
