It was an interesting thriller that could have spent a little more time in the editing room to take out some length. Positives - it's got those Thriller moments - interesting love scenes with Sydney Sweeney Negatives - less than believable: young highschool girl jailed for 10 years then gets live-in housekeeper child caregiver job?…

**The Housemaid** is an absolutely amazing thriller. The environment created in the **first half** is so intense that you are convinced the house owner, Naina, is the one who is **manic and mentally unstable.** It creates a perfect trap where you don't suspect for a second what is coming.…

The Housemaid is a visual powerhouse that deserves a 10/10 rating, primarily due to the captivating lead performance by Sydney Sweeney. She is undeniably the highlight of the film, looking incredibly hot and pretty in every frame. Her fair complexion and striking features are emphasized by the cinematography, making her presence on screen magnetic and aesthetically perfect.…

The plot of this movie is very ordinary. I got bored while watching it. The acting is okay, the effects are good, the script is slow, heavy-handed, and dialogue-based. I skipped forward through some scenes. Is it worth watching? If you like this type of production and the subject matter, I recommend you check it out. Other than that, I don't think it's a production that deserves much time.…

This is a masterclass in psychological thriller! Kim Ki-young's 1960 classic is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of class, desire, and madness. 😊

After seeing endless trailers for The Housemaid at recent cinema visits over the last few months I caved and purchased a ticket. And boy that was money well spent! Based on the 2022 novel by Frieda McFadden, this thriller is an absolute twist filled, psychological nightmare. Think Gone Girl for the Taylor Swift obsessed with some brutal scenes.…

This movie was genuinely exciting to watch. Millie is a bold and interesting character, and I liked the idea of her targeting creepy, psychologically disturbed men. There is something satisfying about how brave and calculated she is, and the way the film presents her at first makes you think you are watching a completely different kind of story.…

“Millie” (Sydney Sweeney) is on parole and sleeping in her car when she applies for a job housekeeping for the wealthy “Wentworth” family. After her first meeting with the jovial “Nina” (Amanda Seyfried) she doesn’t hold out much hope, so imagine her surprise when she is back in their luxury kitchen with a centrally heated, if somewhat airtight, attic bedroom and a phone replete with a limitless credit card.…

In with a whimper and out with the trash A friend recently suggested to me that 2025 has seen a reduction of left wing politics in popular culture. I politely asked him if he had gone both deaf and blind. The Housemaid is a case in point.…
