Editorial Reviews

A psycho thriller that slashes away at the façade of a perfect family, The Sitter is anything but your typical lifetime movie. When prosperous California Couple Carter an Meghan search for the perfect nanny, they believe they've found their answer in sweet Abby Reed. But no sooner does she arrive than she begins to arouse suspicion in friends and neighbors who, one by one, start dying. By the time Meghan looks deeper into her past, it's too late. Abby's work has already begun. Starring Emmy Nominee Gail O'Grady (NYPD Blue) and a haunting performance by Mariana Klaveno (Though None Go with Me), The Sitter does its job to deadly perfection with terrifying suspense as the children sleep!

4.0 out of 5 stars For all those who love B type Thrillers !, December 7, 2009

This review is from: The Sitter (DVD)

This was a nice and suspensful B type Thriller movie that I really enjoyed. If you are into Thrillers in general, and don't mind low budget ones, you'll really like this one.
The plot is certainly nothing new; we've seen it all before with such thrillers as "The Hand that rocks the Cradle", and the like. But yet the story manages to get exciting every now and then. The acting was really convincing, and I always like to see new faces, which also made this movie likeable.
All other things, like picture & sound quality were good to excellent with this DVD. Go and see it if you're into thrillers, because you won't regret it.

But in the end you will see or it will make sense why she was so into the husband.

3.0 out of 5 stars THE HAND THAT TIPPED OVER THE CRADLE, June 5, 2011

This review is from: The Sitter (DVD)

Psycho babysitters are nothing new. Remember Rebecca DeMornay's HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE?
This Lifetime movie was originally titled WHILE THE CHILDREN SLEEP is one of those guilty pleasures. Every move is calculated to be predictable: the lecherous partner of our ignorant dad; the nosy neighbor who knows too much; the workaholic mom who loses her child's affections; the mom's sexy and suspicious best friend. All fall prey to the malevolent sitter. The movie does have a twist at the end I didn't see coming.
Mariana Klaveno is quite good as Abby, the sitter, effortlessly switching from sweet to savage at the drop of a shovel. Gail O'Grady, William R Moses and Stacy Haiduk are good if not memorable.
THE SITTER is actually alittle better than most Lifetime flicks--nothing great but enjoyable.
