When it comes to getting excited for upcoming horror movies when we know that Maika Monroe is going to be the star of one, we’re always thrilled about what we’re about to see. The 32-year-old actress has spent the past decade of her career being in a ton of great scary movies, from It Follows to one of our standout favorites of 2024, Longlegs. It has earned the coveted “Scream Queen” status, which only makes her latest and very different role in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle even more satisfying. Some SPOILERS are ahead.

It started when she booked a movie called The Guest when she “had no money” to even get a flight back to her home in Los Angeles from New York. Not long after that, she also booked It Follows, and genre films have become her niche ever since. Here’s how The Hand That Rocks The Cradle came to the actress.
