About

You can stream The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) on Netflix with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.

A suburban family chooses seemingly sweet Peyton Flanders as their newborn's nanny. Only much later does the infant's mother, Claire Bartel, realize Peyton's true intentions -- to destroy Claire and replace her in the family. The nail-biting suspense builds quickly in this chilling psychological thriller about deception and bitter revenge.

The quiet safety of a manicured suburban home dissolves when a seemingly perfect nanny begins systematically dismantling a mother's life. This psychological chess match turns domestic bliss into a claustrophobic nightmare of identity theft and manipulation.
