Don't get me wrong. It is a chilling story, but it's about suspense, about the psychological states of the characters and the construction of a narrative.

I remember The Nanny was on TV when I was a kid, and we found the promotional ads terrifying. I was an adult before I saw the entire movie and understood just what was going on.
