William Friedkin, the Academy Award winning director of The Exorcist, delivers a new kind of fairy tale for adults.

When a wealthy young couple (Carey Lowell and Dwier Brown) hires a beautiful nanny (Jenny Seagrove) for their newborn baby, the cradle will rock with a secret of unspeakable horror. Based upon the best selling novel The Nanny, and featuring gruesome state-of-the-art special effects, The Guardian is a classic chiller of erotic intrigue and shocking twists.
