Sitter Cam

It seemed interesting and the fake average rating on prime tricked me into thinking it might be worth it. Reviews say otherwise. Now i know why.

Plot holes from the beginning. Trope story line meets actors i didn't enjoy watching. Ugh. The twist didn't save it but made it more annoying.

Wasted my time completely. I consider myself fairly patient with B and C movies but this one, just stay away. I'm annoyed now and disgusted. I also consider myself more open minded that most and found this just tacky, disturbing and gross. Writing was bottom level thought process and cliché.

Triggers to audience: CP, SA.

I did not expect much as the actors were not that known to me. But I must say that the movie turned out to be suspenseful, entertaining and very much satisfying.

Two thumbs up to the cast and director 👍👍

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.

How many times have we seen this plot in a movie?

Also, there were times in this working woman's life when I wouldn't have cared if she slept with my husband, as long as she took good care of my daughter AND cleaned the house.

To start, there is something about this movie, just in the way it's shot, the music, the acting, that gives me very strong vibes of being something that Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" would have aimed for if Tommy Wiseau weren't a comic genius.

This film is unfortunately a genuine attempt at a straight-forward suspense thriller, and this is tragic because it ends up being unintentionally hilarious at so many points.

A couple, Linda and Mark, with a five year old daughter, Chloe, have an incident where their nanny has dementia and Chloe accidentally burns herself a little on boiling water. Both parents work so they need a nanny and one teenager who is absolutely perfect for it, Heather, shows up practically begging to be the girl's nanny.

From there, it follows all the usual predictable twists and turns of a "femme fatale usurper" type plot with the nanny obviously outdoing the mother when it comes to being a parent and a wife, only done with such huge lapses in logic that it almost feels like the entire movie were written and directed by an actual teenager with no real sense of how the world actually works.

This lapse of logic ranges from very small and stupid things (like police pulling over a woman in her car and not letting her make any calls whatsoever) to really suspect (like the father of the girl showing a complete stranger increasingly unusual photographs of his daughter in less and less clothing and leering like a pervert) to just really dumb nonsensical idiocy (like the nanny drugging and raping Mark and everyone just immediately forgetting it).

The "twist" at the end is so stupid it's almost genius. The least I can say is that it's extremely realistic that someone seeking out someone else based on extremely minimal information ends up not finding the right person and I greatly appreciate this being recognized.
