Bodies of Horror: Episode 88 - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992)

For this episode, Nichole dives into the messy thriller waters of 1992’s The Hand the Rock the Rocks the Cradle. Maybe not a film that wears the horror genre on its sleeve but there are twists, turns, and a couple fairly brutal kills.

This episodes focuses on Solomon, the family handyman with an intellectual disability played by Ernie Hudson. No matter how many years pass or how many rewatches, Nichole can never really decide where to land on the character of Solomon so let's pick apart some of the tropes and stereotypes that strip the character of nuance.
