Storyline

After the unexpected and seemingly accidental death of their maid, the Collins family is on the hunt for a new babysitter to look after sweet Susan (Brooke Tracy) and her bookish teen brother, Mark (Christian Slater). Friendly and kind, Helen Giles (Lois Smith) is happy to take the job -- that is, until she discovers Mark's affinity for Nazi memorabilia and demented mind games. With his parents away, Mark mercilessly torments Helen and his adoring sister, leading to a shocking showdown.
