Devious Deeds

Mariela is determined to leave her native Venezuela for the United States but is struggling to secure an au pair job until she meets Chase and Lori Collins. After a successful video interview, the couple hires Mariela to care for their young daughter, Abbey, and arranges for Mariela to stay in their home. When Mariela arrives, she finds everything about the family is perfect except that Chase and Lori are a bit overprotective with Abbey. One night, while Mariela and Abbey are playing hide and seek, a suspicious man breaks in and warns Mariela that "not everything is as it seems." Shaken, Mariela starts to notice odd things about the Collins-from Lori's constant cough attacks to a secret locked door in Chase's office-and shares her concerns with her new friend, Sarah, who is a nurse. Concerned for Lori's health, Mariela recommends that Chase interview Sarah for a caretaker job. But then Sarah gets killed ... And Mariela's life is in danger.

An above average thriller that ticks all the boxes, has some creepy atmosphere in the house and woods, keeps its cards close to its chest - the finale is genuinely suspenseful, thorough the doctor's secret operation bunker is like a Bond villain's lair - well not quite. It kept my attention and was well acted by all.
