THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE1992
The film
After her sex offender husband gets caught in the act and kills himself, an embittered pregnant widow loses her child, and embarks on a mission of vengeance against one of her husband’s victims and the woman’s family.
They really don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Absolutely bonkers movie. Rebecca De Mornay is perfect and I’m honestly not sure why she wasn’t a bigger star. Highly recommended, a wildly entertaining 90’s thriller.
On Netflix.
