‘Nanny’ Actors Anna Diop and Sinqua Walls On Their New Horror Film [Watch]
Nikyatu Jusu’s feature film debut Nanny, yes, is a horror movie, but it’s also incredibly intimate. This is thanks not only to Jusu’s script, but the electric chemistry between actors Anna Diop and Sinqua Walls. Their evolving relationship grounds the film with a glimmer of happiness in a rather bleak film. We were lucky enough to speak with both Diop and Walls about this film and their own relationship off-camera.
But first, check out Nanny’s full synopsis:
In this psychological horror fable of displacement, Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal, is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York City. Haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind, Aisha hopes her new job will afford her the chance to bring him to the U.S., but becomes increasingly unsettled by the family’s volatile home life. As his arrival approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.
Dread Central spoke with Diop and Walls about Nanny, their on-screen chemistry, Black voices in horror, and more.
