Rachel (Kayla Ewell) is getting divorced from her cheating husband, who lets her know that he's low on funds and could lose their home. Forced to return to the workforce, Rachel must find daycare for their young daughter.
Upon locating a suitable facility, Rachel soon becomes suspicious when one of its employees acts in an odd manner. Her fears increase, as she feels that something just isn't right.
DEADLY DAYCARE is one of those frustrating movies where apparently intelligent people act as though their brains have suddenly evaporated. Many HIGHLY suspicious events take place while Rachel simply looks worried and takes no action, instead of immediately yanking Mia out of the place!
One such incident is so obviously serious, that when Rachel appears confused about what to do, it causes laughter rather than terror in the viewer! Ugh!
Poor Christy Carlson Romano tries her best to be creepy as Gabby, a role that Rebecca De Mornay would have had a field day playing! Alas, Gabby's just not crazy or intimidating enough, coming across as more crabby than eeevil.
This movie covers no new ground in the revenge / thriller sub-genre. It does call into question the whole idea of parenting by supermodels...
