The Housemaid exceeded every expectation I had. Amanda Seyfried as Nina Winchester and Sydney Sweeney as Millie brought this twisted tale to life in the most captivating way.
You could tell Seyfried threw herself completely into the character of a deranged mother and housewife. She embodied Nina’s unraveling with such commitment that it was impossible to look away. Sweeney matched her intensity scene for scene, making Millie equally compelling. The chemistry between them crackles with tension throughout.
As someone who read the book, I’m thrilled to report they nailed the adaptation. They stayed faithful to the source material while making it feel fresh and cinematic. The suspense is relentless – I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I'll be keeping it forever, it's just so handy. I don't go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could...) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it's so handy! It's great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there's anything after the credits which is very handy.

Plot
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.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
