Review THE HOUSEMAID: A Psychological Game with an Unexpected Ending

THE HOUSEMAID follows the story of Millie, who is still on parole, working as a maid for the Winchester family, but from the start, there are many warning signs. Nina, the lady of the house, has a dark past and mental conditions that make Millie always a target of chaos. The situation gets worse when Nina manipulates Millie regarding weekend plans, while the neighbors reveal terrifying facts about the family's history.

When Millie and Andrew start to get close and eventually live together, things seem to improve—until a small incident changes everything. Andrew, who initially seemed caring, reveals his dark side. What’s the review like? Psst, beware of spoilers!

THE HOUSEMAID presents an intriguing psychological thriller that may make some viewers feel uncomfortable, yet it remains addictive to watch.

For over 2 hours, the audience will be treated to a roller coaster-like story. Guessing what will happen next, especially since many say this film will have a plot twist.

From the early part when everything feels normal, this film already cultivates a sense of curiosity and creepiness through acting, cinematography, and an appropriate musical score.

Character development does feel a bit slow, but it doesn't take long to regain attention with the conflicts presented.

In the middle, you might feel like you can guess who the villain is, especially if you enjoy films of a similar genre.

But it turns out that's not the end; there is still a plot twist provided. It's enjoyable when there is an unexpected additional surprise at the end of the film.

Amanda Seyfried's performance is top notch. It's hard to find a flaw in her performance. Sydney Sweeney also delivers a convincing performance.

FYI, this film is rated D17+ because it does contain some steamy scenes, similar to Sydney Sweeney's previous films, as well as some scenes involving blood.

Overall, a score of 8.5/10 is very fitting for this film. I can't wait to see the next action in The Housemaid’s Secret, which is reportedly starting production this year.
