One highly specific form of cinema that’s been gradually eroded to the chagrin of many is the decently-budgeted psychological thriller geared towards older audiences, something that was all the rage in the 1980s and 90s, but stands out as a rarity in today’s IP-favoring landscape. One of the most popular examples was and still is The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, which is riding a renewed wave of momentum a full 30 years on from its initial release.
Rebecca De Mornay gives an iconically chilling performance (one that landed her an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain, no less) as Peyton Mott. Plunged into grief and despair after sexual misconduct allegations against her husband lead to him committing suicide and her losing their baby, she decides to seek a uniquely unsettling form of revenge by infiltrating the family of her late spouse’s accuser as the nanny.
