The Guardian
Tonight,
while the world is asleep...
an ancient evil is about to awaken.
William Friedkin, the Academy Award winning director of The Exorcist, delivers a new kind of fairy tale for adults.
When a wealthy young couple (Carey Lowell and Dwier Brown) hires a beautiful nanny (Jenny Seagrove) for their newborn baby, the cradle will rock with a secret of unspeakable horror. Based upon the best selling novel The Nanny, and featuring gruesome state-of-the-art special effects, The Guardian is a classic chiller of erotic intrigue and shocking twists.

Well made film but a bit weird - Coconut_Willy
I thought this movie had an interesting atmosphere of suspense and was very well made but I also thought the story was not so good. It is supposedly inspired by druid mythology but honestly, I don't think that it works so well in the '90s. The way the story is written, it also demands some very odd special effects that did not work so well either. The cast is appropriate doing a fine acting job with a good dialogue. The sets and locations are quite good, the soundtrack is interesting and the camera work is good. Overall, this film directed by William Friedkin had all the required ingredients to be good but the story is so odd and difficult to put to the screen that the result is rather poor. Of course, the transfer to DVD is of excellent quality this being a rather recent movie. Not really recommended.
