The Turn of the Key
Young woman takes up her dream post - live-in nanny in a beautiful luxurious house in a remote, picturesque location. But the kids prove to be a handful, never mind the garden full of toxic plants and the constantly malfunctioning hi-tech house. And whose footsteps can she hear overhead, when there is no way into the attic?
OK, not bad. Clever ideas, a bit slow at times maybe.
