At the Midnight Hour

CriticsCritics: 43
AudienceAudience: 5.2

Wealthy widower Richard Keaton engages young widow Elizabeth 'Liz' Guinness as the 4th consecutive nanny for his pre-teen, equally science-devoted son Andrew, with instructions to disturb neither. She learns of mother Alycia's fatal fall, an official suicide but was probably murder. Dad keeps Andy at a distance, so he draws towards Liz. Real danger starts when Richard's brother, novelist Blain, arrives with his friend Jillian, to sell the ancestral estate against Richard's will.

My take

A gripping 1995 TV movie that captures the tension and drama of a critical moment frozen in time. Arlo would dig how it builds atmosphere through that midnight threshold—when things either resolve or spiral. The vibe is dramatic introspection mixed with edge-of-your-seat stakes.
