According to FlixPatrol, the new version of the classic horror film The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, featuring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Maika Monroe, is now the most popular movie on Hulu.

It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Caitlyn Morales, a lawyer who recently had a baby and decides to hire one of her clients, Polly Murphy (played by Maika Monroe), as a nanny.

Martin Starr plays Stewart, the family’s neighbor, alongside Riki Lindhome as Bethany and Shannon Cochran as Rosanna. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle premiered on Hulu on October 22nd.
