‘I Found My Mouth Agape At The Sheer Audacity.’ Critics Have Seen The Housemaid, And They Have Strong Opinions About The Campy Thriller

As a big fan of thrillers, I recently checked out The Housemaid, which is based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel. It’s about Millie, played by Sydney Sweeney, who takes a job as a live-in housekeeper for Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and her husband, Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), and quickly realizes things aren’t what they seem. What’s really cool is the author herself actually preferred the movie adaptation to her own book! Meagan Navarro at Bloody Disgusting seems to agree, giving it a solid 4 out of 5 skulls and praising director Paul Feig for letting the actors really go wild with the dark humor and violence.
