THE HOUSEMAID is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on the best-selling book. From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous -- a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters' closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.

It’s Feig attempting Park Chan-wook’s Gone Girl and…yeah, I’m good, m’guy. Go to Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian Jan 5
3.5/5
It goes to places that might make Hannibal Lecter blink. The darker it becomes, the more implausible it is, but it’s held together by impressive perfomances by Amanda Seyfried, Sydney Sweeney and Brandon Sklenar. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Jan 1
3/4
It’s a goofily inspired romp through sex, violence, gaslighting, female empowerment, and bloody revenge, its core events centered around two titanically exuberant performances from stars Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney that are difficult to resist. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 11h
The Housemaid exists firmly in the not-bad/could-be-better realm. We expected nonsense, and nonsense we got, and appreciators of such will find plenty to gnaw on here. Go to Full Review Hannah Rose CBR Jan 29
7/10
The Housemaid, for all its flaws, mostly balances out its blatant domestic cruelty for equally cruel hilarity and weirdness. Go to Full Review Jonathan Sim ComingSoon.net Jan 28

This is a sleek, smartly constructed thriller that understands how to manipulate expectation, perspective, and fear. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aiden Beversdorf 5h The Housemaid is an untraditional psychological thriller that makes you question a lot of things. The acting, writing, and tension make for a fun and speechless time at the theater. See more Anonymous 5h Amazing movie. Suspenseful and kept my wife and i at the edge of our seat. We didnt read the book but highly recommend this!!! Also, the story line was well written too. See more Bridget W 6h A fun roller coaster ride from start to finish. Itll keep you guessing. One of the better thrillers you wont regret it! See more Steve M 11h Fun and fresh movie. See more John 13h Good movie. Not quite the psychological thriller I was expecting, but a good movie. See more kevin L 14h Definitely worth seeing and Sweeney and Seyfried were perfectly casted and created an outstanding performance. Obviously some degree of predictability as the movie evolved but nevertheless avoid taking potty breaks! And it goes without saying that Sydney is quite easy on the eyes! See more Read all reviews
