MARSHA MELLOW

Hulu really said, “What if we remade a classic but took out the talent, tension, and logic?”

I’m actually furious right now. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to remake The Hand That Rocks the Cradle? I watched the original in the early 90s. It was iconic, unsettling, and flat-out brilliant. So I told Ernie, “Let’s check out the remake on Hulu.”

Biggest. Fu***ng. Mistake.

The acting is so bad it should be studied by scientists as an example of what not to do. Every single character is unbearable. I wasn’t rooting for the villain, I was rooting for the house to collapse on the parents. Ernie looked at me halfway through and said, “These are the worst parents on earth,” and keep in mind, we’ve both watched the 6 o’clock news and seen Mommie Dearest.

This thing makes Lifetime movies look like Oscar contenders. Who sat in a boardroom and said, “Yeah, let’s take a perfectly good film and light it on fire”? You had a blueprint! Did the writers or producers even watch the original, or did they just skim a blog post and call it creative vision?

After finishing it, the only thing they took from the original was the title. Maybe they should’ve come up with their own. I have a few suggestions: The Hand That Dropped the Ball, The Cradle That Needed Rocking, or my personal favorite, Bad Choices: The Movie.

And don’t even get me started on that little Jenna Ortega Temu version of a daughter. The way she talks to her parents? Let’s just say if she’d grown up in my house, she’d have been sitting on her plate to eat.

And the husband? Don’t even. The man gaslights by accident, like it’s his part-time job.

But the cherry on this dumpster fire sundae? They decided to toss in a line implying that if you’re Mexican, you like fireworks. In 2025. Are you kidding me?

No. Absolutely not. Don’t watch it. Don’t give it a click. Don’t even hover over it. This remake is a total insult to the original and to anyone who still has brain cells left after sitting through it.

Hulu, you owe me two hours of my life back.

I never claimed perfection, just entertainment value. 💋
