Playing as party our Retro Boutique Cinema's 90s Femme Fatale Spotlight, playing all through April.
Desperate for a nanny after her second child is born, Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra) is immediately impressed when Peyton Flanders (Rebecca De Mornay) shows up looking for a job. Peyton seems ideal: tuned in to Claire and the baby’s needs, without a family of her own and more mature than the other contenders. But when everything begins to unravel for the Bartels, Claire realizes that Peyton may have other motivations driving her.
A sharp domestic thriller with more cringe content per second than even the most lurid of 90s erotic-tinged fare, THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE is a terrorfest of motherhood anxieties and expert-level gaslighting.
