American actress Maika Monroe, best known for the horror film It Follows which established her as a modern scream queen, continues to embrace darker roles. Her recent projects confirm that she prefers genres like horror films or thrillers, because she was just cast in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, an adaptation of a 1992 psychological thriller of the same name.
The story of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle follows the pregnant wife of a doctor who kills himself after he is accused of sexual misconduct by his patients. You thought this was dark? Hear this—after the wife miscarries, she decides to dress up as a nanny and infiltrates the accuser’s family. What’s next? You’re gonna have to find out yourself.
It’s apparent that Maika is super busy working on movies, since her latest horror Longlegs with Nicolas Cage is what everybody is talking about. But what others might not know is that besides The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, she also has another two movies in the making—one of them being In Cold Light and the other They Follow.
All there is to say is: Keep it up, Maika! We want more!
