‘Nanny’ Trailer Places Terror in the American Dream

Nanny spins a tale of terror within the idea of the American Dream for a recently displaced woman. As she waits for her son to arrive in the States, a new sinister force begins to take hold of her waking life.

The synopsis for Nanny goes like this:

In this psychological horror fable of displacement, Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal, is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York City. Haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind, Aisha hopes her new job will afford her the chance to bring him to the U.S., but becomes increasingly unsettled by the family’s volatile home life. As his arrival approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.

Nanny stars Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector, Rose Decker and Leslie Uggams.

The film arrives on Prime December 16.
