I watched a horror film when I was younger. It was quite interesting and scary. I only saw it once which was on TV. I've been trying to search for it ever since because I missed the beginning and the end (my parents stopped me from watching most of it). The problem is I don't know the film title. But I remember scenes from the film. I was hoping you could help me find out.

The film is in colour and it looks as if it's set in the 90's.

There was a family. Two parents with one young daughter. They needed help from a nanny with their young girl. The little girl has dark brown hair or it might be black but it wasn't red or blonde. The nanny was in her 20's probably near her 30's. She had blonde hair and wore glasses. In one scene she is in what seems to be a lab, she might have been in a college. She gets hit from behind by this woman who sort of looks like her but doesn't wear glasses and is more beauitful. The mysterious woman steps outside and suddenly the whole building is on fire with the other woman still inside, probably dead. The mysterious woman takes the other woman's place as the new nanny.

In another scene there is a convent. A nun and a priest are in a bedroom talking about the priest's daughter (the mysterious woman) who had lived in the convent and then had disappeared. The priest goes on to ask if an amulet had been taken and found out it had.

In another scene the woman is showing the little girl these gothic scary pictures she has painted. One of them is a painting of herself and the devil. The devil is holding a necklace with a what looks to be a ruby amulet attached. The woman explains to the girl that she once was plain until she meet her "prince" who gave her the amulet promising her that it would give her great power. In another painting there is a temple. On the wall near the roof is four scary looking carved Gargoyle like faces of the woman, the girl, the girl's father and the girl's mother and they each have large goat like horns.

The mother sees the scary paintings for herself when the woman and her daughter are out somewhere, she gets very frightened. Soon the mother gets very suspious and joins up with the priest to save her daughter and stop the priest's daughter. I don't know what happens after that but my guess is the woman is demonic and the little girl is her sacrifice.

My mum thinks it's Rosemary's Baby or one of The Omen sequels. I don't know, what do you think?

It kind of sounds like "The Gurdian" but IDK if it was made for TV or not.

He watched it on TV, doesn't mean it was made for TV, really. So that widens the search.

The Omen IV, would be the best fit IMO, though I have not seen it. It seems like that sort of stuff would happen in it.

In Omen IV : The Awakening, the nanny dies by falling from a second floor window and impaling herself on a merry-go-round.

The devil is holding a necklace with a what looks to be a ruby amulet attached. The woman explains to the girl that she once was plain until she meet her "prince" who gave her the amulet promising her that it would give her great power. In another painting there is a temple.

no such amulets in Omen IV. This might be some B movie.

joshaube: First of all, I'm a she, not a he!

I'm not even sure whether it was a horror movie, it might of been a thriller for all I know. I've looked up Omen IV and although it seems closely related, I doubt that that is it.

I remember the scene of nanny being killed. She was definetly in a school or a library or somewhere else. In Omen IV, it's one of the children that kills her. In this movie I'm thinking of, it's another woman that kills her. The nanny is killed before she gets to meet the family, which is why the other woman is able to take her place without there being any suspisions (until it's too late). At the end, writing on a blood red screen appears, explaining what happened in, what wasn't seen in the last few minutes.

I remember half of two different quotes. "Maybe someday you will meet your prince." "You see, my daughter has taken your daughter..."

Now do you know any horror or thriller movies that have gothic scary pictures or paintings within them that shows some kind of symbolism to the plot of the movie?
