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!

After hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was definitely eager to check it out.

View all The Hand That Rocks the Cradle reviews
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. The nail-biting suspense builds quickly in this chilling psychological thriller about deception and bitter revenge. Julianne Moore co-stars as Claire's sassy real-estate-agent friend.

"13.7. (DVD) #leffahaaste2018 Tässä oli sitten elokuva vanhemmuudesta, joka oli kyllä niin vitun ysäriä kuin olla voi. Ydinperheen arki revitään riekaleiksi, koska lääkäri on kosketellut naista herkistä paikoista. Loppu on painostavaa kamaa, vaikka kukaan ei oikeastaan osaa näytellä. Silti pidin tästä jotenkin turhan paljon."
