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 Film's Suggestive Takeaways - rich people are all twisted and evil - jailed people are all innocent but tried to do good things - Italian men are trustworthy, American men aren't Rating 7/10

**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. While the trailer might make you think it’s just a simple story about a maid entering a house and a conflict starting, the **twist** here is massive. As the **second half** begins, the mystery unfolds through the background story Naina tells her daughter. You realize how helpless she was and how she was being exploited. The real villain is her **obsessive and mentally unstable husband.** He is a perfectionist who loves his family's antique belongings more than people. The **maid’s acting** was phenomenal; in the first half, her performance makes you believe Naina is the crazy one. However, the root cause of everything is the husband’s mother and the way she raised him. The climax, where the maid captures the husband and leads to his murder while helping a female police officer, is a powerful ending. This is where I end my review a must-watch!

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. Beyond her appearance, the film is driven by a strong, interesting, and great story that keeps the viewer completely engaged. The narrative builds a thick, suspenseful atmosphere that culminates in a truly mind-blowing twist that shifts the entire perspective of the movie. This high-level storytelling and the brilliance of the plot execution make it a top-tier recommendation for anyone who values a sleek, modern thriller experience with a deep and rewarding narrative.

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. I gave it a score of 4 out of 10.

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. We follow Millie (Sydney Sweeney), currently on parole and eager to move on with her life. She thinks she's found the perfect job after interviewing with bubbly, effervescent trophy wife Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried). She's offered a live-in position as a housemaid in the spectacular home Nina shares with her husband Andrew (Brendon Sklenar) and daughter Cece (Indiana Elle). But it's too good to be true. Millie's living in a tiny attic room with a deadbolt lock on the wrong side of the door, Cece goes out of her way to be difficult and there's creepy groundskeeper Enzo (Michele Morrone). It's clear from the trailer Nina is unhinged. We learn early on she's on medication for schizophrenia and see sudden vocal and physical outbursts, followed by frenzied apologetic monologues. Seyfried is the absolute star here in this turbulent role. She steals every scene with a truly believable, guttural and raw performance which I was not expecting. In contract Sweeney's portrayal of Millie feels downplayed, however this is a perfect choice. In a volatile situation where she needs to keep a job, this character does what anyone would do - keep calm and carry on. The Housemaid takes its audience through many narrative twists. From the outset we're on the back food, as it unveils one secret after another keeping you guessing throughout. Fans of melodrama, frantic storytelling and shocking scenes can rejoice as you'll find these in abundance. The second act of this film is also incredibly steamy which, with a cast that looks this good, is absolutely welcome and expected. The film loses points for its soundtrack. There are needle drops at pivotal moments where they choose bubblegum pop which imbalances the film's tone completely. Ultimately it's the third act that ties this film together. We discover the true plot and those lose ends you've spend the previous hour trying to figure out are woven together in a jaw dropping sequence of events. As someone who's not read the book, I found this adaptation unravelled in an impactful way with a satisfying ending and was left wanting more. This is a novel I'm adding to my read list along with it's sequel as I will absolutely be checking that out when it releases. The Housemaid is a must see, ideally with an audience as the reactions in my screening were almost as wild as the film itself.
