Review of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) by Dj . — 28 Jul 2009
"The hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules the world.".
I call this a classic of the thriller genre and of the 90's. Its perfect if you're looking for a stalker movie. Great direction from Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential) and the movie scores some great performances, especially the psychotic Peyton played by Rebecca De Mornay. Her chilling role is worth seeing this movie alone.
I guess the best aspect is the dramatic irony. The whole cast is unaware of the antagonist's plans, and whenever an ally is close to discovering her, she destroys them without a second thought.
One of the best stalker thrillers of all time, check it out if that's your thing. A good watch for some great suspense with its bleak atmosphere.
