Devious Nanny

Wuchak

**_A well-to-do family in Los Angeles… might not be too well_** Made in 2017 and released to TV early the next year, this is a drama/thriller that takes the set-up of "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle,” but knits-in bits of “The Crush,” “The Babysitter” and “Single White Female.” It smacks of the typical Lifetime flick, utilitarian with little sense of artistry, yet is proficient enough if you value the cast members or storyline. What places it above others is the inventive ending that holds a couple of surprises (so avoid spoilers), plus the inclusion of petite Moscow-born Olesya Rulin. However, if you want an inkling of hope or redemption, forget it. It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles. GRADE: B-
