Sydney Sweeney makes herself at home in first trailer for the thriller The Housemaid

After proving he’s just as adept at helming fear as he is farce, director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, A Simple Favour) takes on another thrillingly entertaining best-selling novel for The Housemaid, a film that plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems.

Starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, The Housemaid focuses on Millie (Sweeney), who, in trying to escape her past, accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Also featuring Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins, The Housemaid will make herself at home in Australian theatres this Christmas season.
