Welcome back to Geekz 31 Days of Horror! Tonight, we're diving into one of 2025's most talked-about psychological thrillers — the chilling reimagining of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2025), now streaming on Hulu!

This modern update of the 1992 classic trades in suburbia for the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles, where Caitlin Morales (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) — a successful attorney and new mom — hires the seemingly perfect nanny Polly Murphy (Maika Monroe). But as Polly's calm, caring façade begins to crack, Caitlin and her husband Miguel (Raúl Castillo) uncover a web of manipulation, obsession, and psychological terror that turns their dream home into a nightmare.
