Nikyatu Jusu's proficient debut horror Nanny seeps into your pores with a tragic authenticity. DoNatoBomb's review:

Nanny

Anna Diop stars as transplant Aisha, the hired nanny to an Upper East Side family struggling to maintain their lifestyle. Amy enlists Aisha to care for her daughter Rose while her photojournalist husband Adam is away shooting another conflict. Everything seems copasetic, Rose adores Aisha, but Adam’s return home causes tension amidst the altered apartment ecosystem.

When Jusu dips her toe into subtle-to-freaky horror imagery, she proves herself in command. Should Jusu ever decide to helm a straightforward Blumhouse fright flick—maybe a sequel to the newly announcedremake, as a tease slash warning—the announcement would be met with total confidence.
