The Housemaid

Trying to escape her past, Millie Calloway accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina and Andrew Winchester. But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous—a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.
What critics thought
A knowing, gleefully lurid throwback to the erotic thrillers of the 1990s, The Housemaid lands mostly well thanks to committed performances and a willingness to get genuinely strange — though critics split on whether its twisty climax delivers real satirical bite or just campy surface fun.
“The Housemaid has its twists, and you'll probably see some of them coming a mile off, even if you don't know exactly how the secrets will be revealed or what form the danger will take. On more than one occasion, the twist is that The Housemaid is even weirder and funnier than you expect — and that's a welcome surprise.”
William Bibbiani·TheWrap
“The Housemaid is a delightful hall of mirrors in which reality turns out to be subject to infinite modification.”
Kyle Smith·The Wall Street Journal
“This is a full-tilt throwback to 'erotic thriller' tropes from the 1990s.”
Tim Robey·The Daily Telegraph
“The Housemaid's twist is a doozy, but it falls just short of being a deconstruction of tradwife values.”
