Synopsis of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2025)

In the remake, Caitlin Morales (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her husband Miguel bring a nanny, Polly Murphy (Maika Monroe), into their family home in suburban Los Angeles. What seems like innocent help soon grows suspicious as Polly's mysterious intentions begin to seep through her calm exterior.

As Caitlin unravels the truth behind Polly's presence, she must contend with betrayal, twisted loyalty, and the fear that she invited danger into her own home. This modern reinterpretation updates themes of trust and invasion, blending psychological dread with new character dynamics in a haunting retelling for streaming audiences.
