DVD. Feature film. Stars Annabella Sciorra.110 min. Rated R . A seemingly perfect nanny is hired by a family who doesn't realize that her husband was the mother's gynecologist who killed himself after being accused of molesting her. Now this nanny wants a family of her own--after a healthy helping of revenge.
Rebecca De Mornay stars as a nanny with an evil agenda in this psychological thriller directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL). When her new obstetrician Dr. Mott (John DeLancie), touches Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra) inappropriately during an exam, Claire reports him. The scandal ultimately causes Dr. Mott's suicide and his wife's miscarriage. Determined to have both a child and revenge, Mrs. Mott (De Mornay), now going by the name Peyton Flanders, poses as the perfect nanny and is hired by Claire and her husband, Michael (Matt McCoy), to care for their young daughter, Emma (Madeline Zima), and infant son. Seemingly sweet and helpful, Peyton slowly infiltrates the family's world. Once she has gained their trust, she begins to wreak havoc in their lives. Claire begins to doubt her husband's fidelity, her abilities as a mother, and virtually every other aspect of her life--including her sanity--as Peyton deliberately tries to ruin her life and replace her as a wife and mother. De Mornay is a delicious villain--all sugar and spice in front of the family but positively venomous when plotting and executing her revenge. Director Hanson crafts his thriller with great skill and attention to character, making this a must-see. Theatrical release: January 10, 1992.
Filmed in Issaquah, Seattle, and Tacoma, Washington.
The film features an early screen appearance by Julianne Moore.
Debut screenwriter Amanda Silver is the granddaughter of the late screenwriter Sidney Buchman. Hand That Rocks The Cradle Reviews: "...A terrific cast...De Mornay's Peyton is a deranged dynamo; it's a crackerjack performance..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE comes on like the FATAL ATTRACTION of child care..."
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today "...Rebecca DeMornay's performance is so fiercely felt that she makes you sympathize with the beast..."

YOUNG THUGS - INNOCENT BLOOD: This somewhat autobiographical film, set in director Takashi Miike's hometown of Osaka, is a coming-of-age story that contains the blood and violence characteristic of the work of this auteur. True to its title, however, the film retains an innocence that sets it apart from much of Miike's oeuvre. Three friends rob their teacher on the last day of school and set out to find their place in the world. Ryoko becomes employed by a hair salon, while his two friends find careers in law enforcement, of sorts. This fast-paced thriller was based on a novel by Toshikazu Nakaba, and is followed by a sequel, YOUNG THUGS--NOSTALGIA.
