This was the first William Friedkin film I had seen. Knowing that he had directed the Exorcist, I was expecting a 'scary' film and unfortunately it wasn't. Oh well, the film however was exciting and creepy and Jenny Seagrove played the part of the nanny with ease, presenting a brooding yet somehow likeable character, until of course, the end. Those looking for a gore film may be slightly disappointed, although there are a few good gore scenes but they are few and far between as the film contains a low body count. However, those looking for a horror thriller will revel in the films delights as it achieves this substantially and the film's last moments will have you on the edge of your seat. Oh and she keeps getting naked for those of you who like that sort of thing, i wasn't complaining!
