The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992)

This week on Cinema Callback, Andy and Michael hit play on Curtis Hanson’s suburban thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Told through a volley of voicemail reflections, they peel back the film’s glossy exterior to unpack Rebecca De Mornay’s icy performance, early ’90s paranoia, and the domestic dread simmering just beneath the surface.
