[particularly horror]
There's been so many recently and they/it just seems to keep getting worse.
I'm watching the remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. I enjoyed the original from the nineties and really didn't think it needed a remake, but gave this a go anyway *sigh*.
If you haven't seen the original, it's one of those "Borderline Personality Disorder Horrors" that were popular in the late eighties and early nineties [think Fatal Attraction and Single White Female]. Pregnant woman is molested by her gynaecologist at an appointment. When she reports him, he kills himself. His pregnant wife is distraught and loses the baby due to the stress. She has a breakdown and deliberately becomes nanny/babysitter to the other woman to get revenge for ruining her life.
In THIS version, it's just a regular nanny/babysitter who ends up being crazy/obsessive. Like, zero character nuance and the entire narrative that drives the plot eliminated.
Just...why?
