The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) - Curtis Hanson
Listen to the podcast here: LINK
Yellowjackets director and producer Jamie Travis joins me to talk about the 1992 “lady thriller” The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Ernie Hudson, Matt McCoy, and Julianne Moore star in this wild, upsetting, and incredibly entertaining movie about a psychotic usurping nanny.
Why did I watch it?
- Heard about it on an episode of the podcast Filmspotting. It was listed as one of the host’s Top 5 Paris Movies.
- My interest is piqued for anything Edgar Allan Poe related.
Random IMDB Trivia:
Netflix Rating: 2 out of 5
1 Thing I Liked About It: The cast. Surprisingly strong cast for a TV movie. Particularly Val Kilmer and Ian McShane.
1 Thing I Didn’t Like About It: Low production values. I guess I shouldn’t have expected much more, but the gorilla suit reveal near the end is almost as bad as the intentionally fake-looking gorilla suit from Trading Places.
