As Halloween creeps ever closer, you might be feeling the mood for a scary movie as your nighttime watch. So, it works out that “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” is now available everywhere.
Directed by Michelle Garza Cervera, the psychological thriller puts its own twist on the 1992 classic. It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Caitlin, an upscale suburban mom who brings a new nanny, Polly (Maika Monroe), into her home, only to discover she is not the person she claims to be. What could possibly go wrong?
Here are all the details you need.
