Michelle Garza Cervera’s The Hand That Rocks The Cradle delivers a near-total reimagining of Curtis Hanson’s 1992 domestic thriller about an uncanny nanny who invades the sanctity of the American home. Releasing directly on Hulu, the remake turns Amanda Silver’s original screenplay inside out, reframing the story to foreground contemporary political themes, surveillance culture, and the erosion of trust within the family unit. This bold update modernizes the premise for a new era, but at times it overreaches—its atmosphere and ambition outpace a few plot beats—producing a thriller that promises more than it consistently delivers.
