If you want to know how a psycho views you, especially very innocent/pure people, watch this. It is chilling. I have met a workplace bully like this and it's the eyes that are piercing - it feels like that eyes are dead, have a void for...life force energy?! It's as piercing as one of those wooden - sit 'em on the knee and make 'em talk - style puppets! In this film (and it real life) it seems as those…

I miss Ernie Hudson.

There is a lot of cheese and gimmicks in this movie, but Rebecca De Mornay makes it easy to overlook with her bizarre character.
-
When I think of the late 80s/early 90s "Yuppie In Peril" genre, I think of this movie and Pacific Heights. This one moved along capably enough, but Rebecca De Mornay as a psychotic menace was wildly implausible - both as written and as played.
-
A guilty pleasure that is pretty good too."The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world!"
-
Decent little thriller. Rebecca De Mornay is sensational and this is fitting precursor to her role in Mother's Day. Ernie Hudson is lovable and a half.

Rewatched after at least a decade. Yeah it's trashy and has the most ridiculous premise with situations to match........but I can't help loving it. I think the combination of trashy soap plot mixed with that 90s "psycho whatever from hell" just works here. The whole thing is lifted by a brilliant Rebecca DeMornay who obviously makes the most of a brilliantly exaggerated character.
And.........Death by greenhouse, what more could you want?
