A Gothic Thriller for a New Generation
The Housemaid trailer plunges viewers into a world where privilege corrodes judgment and secrets turn deadly.
Sydney Sweeney plays the young woman hired into a wealthy household, while Amanda Seyfried embodies the kind of fragile elegance that can shatter into menace without warning.
Seduction, Suspicion, and Shifting Power
The trailer builds tension through silence: glances exchanged in hallways, footsteps echoing across marble floors, whispered promises that feel more like threats.
It’s as if every room of the house is listening — and waiting.
Performances That Carry the Film’s Weight
Sweeney oscillates between innocence and quiet cunning, while Seyfried brings a psychological sharpness reminiscent of Gone Girl.
Brandon Sklenar rounds out the triangle with a performance that feels both inviting and deeply unsettling.
Fun Fact
