The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Trust is her weapon. Innocence her opportunity. Revenge her only desire.
Directed by Curtis Hanson
Produced by Hollywood Pictures, Interscope Communications
A taut psychological thriller about a vengeful nanny infiltrating a family's intimate domestic life, built on escalating paranoia and the violation of trust.
A suburban family chooses seemingly sweet Peyton Flanders as their newborn's nanny. Only much later does the infant's mother, Claire Bartel, 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.
