The Exorcist director William Friedkin returns to the supernatural thriller with The Guardian, a nightmarish tale of a young couple who moves to Los Angeles and seeks out a nanny for their newborn son. Unbeknownst to them, the British woman they hire turns out to be a Druid high priestess who sacrifices babies to an evil tree god!
“The Guardian is most assuredly a Friedkin joint, one in which you can repeatedly feel him grabbing the wheel… and veering the film into that psychological, seedy and totally 1970’s fastlane that the filmmaker once blazed upon.” – Chris Alexander, Shock Till You Drop
