    I saw this when I was in the 8th grade, during a young, impressionable time when the only job a 13-year old could get was babysitting. This was a totally freaky movie.

    The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world...
    This film is a scary tale about a woman whose husband commits suicide after being accused of raping female patients. The doctor's widow(played by Rebecca Demornay) now secretly goes to work as a nanny in the home of one of her husband's accusers(played by Annabella Sciorra) and tries to ruin the family's life to even the score.

    The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - is the hand that rules the world.

    Plot: A respected and successful gynecologist commits suicide when he is accused of having sexually molested five of his patients.. and his wife loses her unborn baby as a result of stress. She then takes on another name and applies to the nanny position that the first woman to make the accusation has announced. She gets the job and she's up for revenge in her sly ways, can the family figure out what she's up to before its to late?..

    Rebecca DeMornay gives the best performance in the film and who is truly convincing as Peyton, the newly widowed wife who takes it upon herself to manipulate her way into a family.. Annabella Sciorra gave a great performances as the asthmatic housewife..

    This is one of the best psychotic thrillers I have ever seen.. it started out really good, and ended great.. it has an interesting storyline and some spectacularly sinister moments..

    Curtis Hanson has made an excellent, sharp thriller.. I would highly recommend watching this movie and would encourage anyone who is interested in dramas to see this film and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!..

    Rebecca De Mornay needed some serious therapy. The scary part about this movie is there is some women out in the world right now who are just as crazy or much crazier than she is. You know there is some chick sitting around right now plotting on you to take your man and your kids as her own. Check the bushes and the phone records... You know you want to.
