I love films with realistic villains. Heck, I love films in which an outsider destroys what is shown as the 'perfect family'. Hell, I love these films even more when that said villain is a female!

Granted, this film wasn't Oscar material but both the lead females sure gave great performances with Annabella playing the housewife who has Asthma & Rebecca De Mornay playing the twisted & ... read more

Description: A suburban family chooses seemingly sweet Peyton Flanders (Rebecca De Mornay) as their newborn's nanny. Only much later does the infant's mother, Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra), realize Peyton's true intentions -- to destroy Claire and replace her in the family.

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"Hanson creates the occasionally effective shock effect to satisfy those who want to squeal in mock fright. More often the devices he uses are such tired tricks... to create the illusion of suspense that can't be sustained. - Vincent Canby, New York Times"

"It wasn't scary, but then I think it's meant to be a thriller, not a horror. It was my last film that I used Netflix for (I cancelled at the end of my free month). The cast is fantastic, Rebecca De Mornay is wonderful, and Julianne Moore was in it! Yayy! :)"

"Rebecca De Mornay pulled a textbook example, in the 1990s classic The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, as an ice-cold, vengeful but seemingly sweet and inoffensive au pair out for the blood of the woman who got her obstetrician husband charged with sexually molesting his patients (by way of her family).
