Unhinged (compliment).

Narration was bad, but it does give the movie more of a novel feel, which helps considering it's an adaptation. Just not sure Sweeney's narration performance got there.

Fun to see Seyfried unhinged in a popcorn horror-thriller like this, and then see her do something like Ann Lee.

best movie ever

Not steamy enough, too predictable, and all around difficult to watch.

What do you get when you have 3 gorgeous people living in an extremely posh house? You get THE HOUSEMAID, based on the very popular 2022 book written by Freida McFadden. This is directed by Paul Feig, who has made some of my favourite female-led comedies, such as THE HEAT, SPY, and BRIDESMAIDS. He takes a different approach with this one, which is an erotic thriller. Millie (Sydney Sweeney), desperate for a job, gets one as a live-in maid for Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). No, not the supernatural Winchesters. These Winchesters are very rich and fancy. All is not what it seems though, as is often the case. I had such a fun time watching this unfold. The first half slowly sets things up while the second half has a payoff that is extremely satisfying. It’s best to go in blind for this one. This movie knows exactly what it is and doesn’t hold back. It also really knows what audiences want from this experience. It’s a true guilty pleasure. It’s the equivalent of sneaking to the fridge at night and diving into a tub of ice cream. You know it might not be good for you, but damn it you deserve it. It’s a satire on class. While Sweeney is the main actress of the movie, Seyfried steals the show. She is delightfully unnerving in this. There’s great chemistry between the 3 of them. There are a couple side characters that are underutilized, one of them played by Elizabeth Perkins. Whatever you think of Sweeney as a person, she finally picked a good one here. Despite the pointed dialogue and it being a little too long, I had a great time with THE HOUSEMAID. Bring your girlfriends to this one, and remember, actions have consequences.

BUENISIMA

No puedo compararlo con su material original; la verdad espero el libro sea mucho mejor que su adaptación. Iba a mitad de la película y sabía como terminaría gracias al sentido común de este tipo de historias.

Amanda Seyfried fica ótima em papéis assim, agora, eu não sei se tenho algo a comentar a respeito da Sweeney.

Me pareció una muy buena película, donde todo era muy misterioso o sea no te esperas que sucederá luego la interpretación de la protagonista o sea la actriz tuvo un papel ya que es muy juzgada ya que según los críticos solo es una rubia tonta que solo sirve por su físico. Pero la película, muestra muy bien el abuso de una manera realista.

Es una buena película para ver si te gusta la intriga.
