The Housemaid

About This Movie

So, Paul Feig takes a turn into dark territory with 'The Housemaid.' It’s not the usual comedy you’d expect from him. Instead, we get this twisted game of cat and mouse. Millie, played with a subtle intensity, is drawn into the opulence of the Winchester home, but things spiral quickly. The atmosphere? Thick with tension and secrets, almost suffocating at times. The pacing keeps you on edge, with clever dialogue that reveals more than it conceals. I appreciated the practical effects they used—there's something so much more raw about them, you know? The performances really sell the unease, especially the dynamics between the leads. It's a fresh take on familiar themes of power and manipulation.
