Review

Young son is coming back to home after he has been away for two years because his parents suspected that he might be somehow responsible of his sisters death. The boy, Joey, does not want to see his Nanny or have anything to do with her and he blames her of his sisters death. Nobody is believing his claims, but could there be some truth on his claims anyway?

Nanny is interesting thriller/horror film from 1965 and it shows that people on 1960's had already talent to write psychologically interesting characters and stories. Hitchock's Psycho from 1960 is well known culturally even on the mainstream people who are not the fans of movies and its cultural meaning cannot be undermined. Still it was very refreshing to see that Hitchcock has not been the only good storymaker on this genre from that era. The Nanny is already quite old movie but it still have not lost its charm.
