Rebecca (Kat Foster) hires Millicent (Morgan Saylor) to care for her troubled son Johnny who is apparently allergic to everything. Almost immediately, Millicent is sexually obsessed with Rebecca's husband Jacob (Myko Olivier). It turns out that she's having sexually disturbed hallucinations brought about from LSD micro-dosing prescripted by Dr. Welsh (Keith Powell). Welsh is reducing her dosage, but Millicent has other ideas. This is made by Shudder. Blumhouse has made a business out of movies like this except they would get a bigger star for the lead. That's the largest missing ingredient. Morgan is fine for the role, but I don't know where she's been. There is no excitement of seeing a Disney star trying to grow or a big movie star slumming it. It's an unknown actress doing fine work. I would also like it a more straight horror. With the hallucinations, this is more psychological surreal and sexually disturbing. It's messier. Some may like it. I like something cleaner.

At the beginning of the movie it hooks you and the whole idea of the movie is interesting, but within less than 30 minutes into the movie it was obvious that the writer is a woman who has no idea about men, the male characters are written poorly and and empty like men are brainless and one sided. There are a few logic problems in the movie, the lighting was beautiful but had many logical problems. Color grading was great. Ending was good and satisfying. Plot twists were great, especially the one in the end. So in conclusion only logline of the movie and color grading was good, the cinematography was good too if you don't include the logic problems and the whole character writing and storytelling, and directing and acting was awful. So I think 3 stars out of 10 is ok.

We first meet our babysitter (Morgan Saylor) calling herself Millicent as she meets her new employers. She is to help watch over Johnny (Danilo Crovetti) who is allergic to everything. The mother (Kat Foster) is overly cautious. Her husband Jacob (Myko Olivier) is eye-candy to the young Millicent and agrees with him that the issue may be more psychological than physical. We discover in the next scene, Millicent misrepresented herself to her employers and is also being treated with LSD and carries with her an eye dropper bottle full of it. Her relationship with Johnny becomes close and she shares her medication with him and her body with his father. She confesses to her psychologist she has violent thoughts. We get a good idea where this "Hand that Rocks the Cradle" type of film is going, but we feel there is more of a back story that is not being explained. We get this during the final credit roll and realize there was a clue in the picture. Credit roll was worth watching the whole film. Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity (Morgan Saylor)
