What to Read Next<\/p>\n

Directed by Mexican filmmaker Michelle Garza Cervera, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle will feel “very different” to the original, which is widely regarded as a ’90s classic. <\/p>\n

Starring Annabella Sciorra, Rebecca De Mornay, Matt McCoy, Ernie Hudson and Julianne Moore, the movie holds a rating of 67% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, with critics lauding De Mornay’s performance in particular. <\/p>\n

Joining ScreenRant<\/a> for an interview, Cervera clarified that her film isn’t exactly a remake. “We kept the plot, we kept some of the dynamics [of] having a 10-year-old girl, a baby, [and] the ages of the characters, but the whole thing, the city [and] the themes particularly are very different,” she said. <\/p>\n

Unlike the 1992 version, which was set in Seattle, Cervera’s reimagining will take place in Los Angeles, while delving into some of the characters’ backstories. <\/p>\n

“The motivations for revenge and the way the conflict grows in the film \u2026 it’s particular to this new story and characters,” she began. <\/p>\n

Cervera also noted that the film is “pretty dark”, adding, “It puts the characters more in grey areas, and there’s a mirroring thing between the antagonist and the protagonist.”<\/p>\n

Echoing this sentiment in an interview with People<\/a>, Cervera explained, “We build a whole different kind of thriller. It’s actually more of a slow burn.” Reflecting on Maika Monroe’s performance as Polly, the filmmaker raved, “She brings a very evil, contained tone to the film that I’m super proud of.”<\/p>\n

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle will premiere on 22 October. Fans in the US can tune in on Hulu, while UK viewers can tune in on Disney+.<\/p>\n
