Caregiver

Paige starts a new job as a care giver for a home for delinquent and troubled girls. All are there for a reason and have suffered emotional turmoil in their pasts. Paige is of a quiet, caring disposition and feels that guiding the girls gently will lead to the best hopes for rehabilitation and security. It is not long before she has to take a "firmer" approach.

This film reminded me a bit of Joseph Ruben's 1987 The Stepfather. Someone who comes across all sweetness and light, but in reality is the main perpetrator of the violence on the screen.

The story is quite good and the performances aren't too bad. A special mention must go to a piece of music that is played throughout the film called "shed no tears". It is a choral piece and is genuinely haunting and added great empathy to a suicide scene. Worth the price of admission alone.

The director Dennis Divine is still working in the horror film business today (and previous to this).

Some gore included, but not over the top. A solid effort.
