Synopsis
The Nanny (1965) is Seth Holt's quiet psychological thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Bette Davis plays the perfect English nanny — perhaps a little too perfect.
Ten-year-old Joey comes home from a children's psychiatric ward, where he spent two years after his little sister drowned in the bath. He insists the nanny was to blame, and he refuses to eat anything she cooks or be left alone with her. His parents are sure the boy is simply disturbed. But the calmer the nanny's smile, the harder it gets to write off his terror as illness.
Hammer set its gothic monsters aside for a slow-burn domestic horror, and Davis carries it without a single loud gesture — the menace lives entirely in her warm, unbroken composure. A black-and-white chamber piece where the real question is who you can trust. Stream The Nanny online on iFILM.
