What film is this???

It’s driving me mad! The only thing I can remember is a young boy and his older sister are at their babysitters house. Babysitter who is a middle aged woman is distracted by phone/tv/something and the little boy falls in the pool. He’s fished out (possibly a dog is involved?) and is fine, the older sister (11ish?) calls mum and mum comes raging at the babysitter and drags kids away which sets the scene for the premise of the movie which is ....... I can’t remember!!

The setting is those one story homes with large front lawns out door pools and space between houses, somewhere hot in America, California/Texas/Arizona.

Ring any bells with anyone?

(It’s entirely possible it was a TV episode, but I think it was a film)

I should add, I think I watched it as a young teen so it would be an 80s/90s film.

Beethoven?

Red haired little girl? Horror film of a ‘killer’ gene making a grandmother & granddaughter psychopathic killers, late 70’s tv movie?

@UselessTrees

Beethoven?
Well bloody hell you got it in one!!! 🤣

Thank you!

I was wrong about it being a boy, I would have sworn it was. Isn’t memory a funny thing?

That does sound like a scene in Beethoven

Grin We watched it fairly recently, and that bit stuck in my mind because I was imagining the AIBU thread about the negligent babysitter!

100000% Beethoven.

I’ve spent hours googling different phrases containing film/babysitter/pool with no success. I should have come straight to mumsnet! Grin
