The one redeeming feature of the 80s erotic thriller genre was that we got to see attractive performers get their kit off and do their thing, albeit in a usually clichéd and highly derivative set up. Sadly, that doesn't happen here. We've got the clichés and the lack of originality but none of the eroticism.

3 stars for the cast for managing to keep straight faces but that's about it.

Mary Morrison is a bestselling author who writes novels about "passion, sex, lies, betrayal." In order to focus on writing her next novel, Mary Morrison hires a young, hot nanny to look after her children - and maybe her husband too. It's pretty obvious where this is going. Anna Elizabeth James' 'Deadly Illussions' is a silly, paint-by-numbers, third-rate 'Basic Instinct'-y thriller with its thin and definitely confusing plot. Anyone who can sit through this without cringing at least once deserves an honorary Oscar. Stream it!

Branded as a psychological thriller, it isn't psychological nor a thriller. The true horror is that this movie occupies space on Netflix servers. Who wrote this crap?
