It is almost an obligatory opening scene in a Lifetime film when a desperate woman is racing through a forest with someone in hot pursuit. In this film, the stakes were even greater because one of the women was carrying a baby!
"Beware the Night Nurse" unfolded the circumstances of Claire and Zach Mitchell, a pair of successful attorneys, who are starting to raise their baby Owen. The child was born by a surrogate, Liz Chenowith, who worked as a paralegal in their law office.
The character of Liz Chenowith was intriguing because she vanished early into the film after she was frightened. There is a good payoff when Liz's story is revealed and what was the source of her fear.
Another strength of the film was the tension between the night nurse, Vera Ivanov, and Judy Mitchell, the formidable mother-in-law of Claire. It soon becomes apparent that with the antagonism between Vera and Judy, something has to give!
The only loose end in the film was when Claire was rifling through a batch of old photos she located at the home of Liz Chenowith. One of the photos was that of a boy alongside Vera. The identity of boy was never made clear in the film.
The direction was crisp with excellent location footage, especially in the cabin setting at Gravenhurst, where the race through the forest will occur. There was also good feeling in the relationship of Claire and Zach and their connection to their new baby. Little Owen was a screamer, and there was no doubt that the couple was in need of a night nanny.
The only lesson to be learned was the importance of conducting a more thorough background check before hiring a night nurse!

That's a real horror in terms of production, acting and the script. I think I need a therapy after watching this. Honestly, I haven't seen any movie that bad as this one and I was watching a lot (my first job was VHS and dvd rental ages ago).
I started watching as a thriller, then I was googling a lot and I thought it's a comedy but it turned out to be just a nightmare of cinema industry.
I am aware of b movies type kinda business but this is beyond.
I truly Beliave some people tried to make it any better and frame it differently but seems like absolutely everything in here went wrong and out of control.
