10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices

10. Maika Monroe - The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

While pretty much nobody was asking for a remake of classic '90s horror-thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, it was much easier to see the value in it once the leading ladies were announced.

First and foremost, the role of vengeful nanny Mrs. Mott - as was played so brilliantly by Rebecca De Mornay in the original - will be played by the fantastic Maika Monroe. Monroe is one of the most compelling actresses in the horror space to make a name for herself over the past decade, and it's easy to see how she'll bring a uniquely uneasy intensity to the fore, in turn fully living up to De Mornay's iconic performance.

The fact that she'll be working opposite an actress as terrific as Mary Elizabeth Winstead - who will portray the new version of Annabella Sciorra's embattled protagonist Claire Bartel - is just the icing on the cake.

Even if this remake has questionable "necessity" - whatever that even means in Hollywood - in the very least, Monroe's clearly going to put on a creepy acting clinic.
