What You Need To Know:

THE HOUSEMAID is a lurid thriller about a young woman, Millie, who turns out to be older than she looks, who gets a job as housemaid and nanny to a friendly blond lady married to a rich man. However, things are not as they seem in the Winchester household. The wife, Nina, appears to have more than a screw loose. This leads Millie, who has some secrets of her own, into having a torrid adulterous affair with Nina’s husband, Andrew. A big plot twist occurs, leading to extreme violence and revenge.

THE HOUSEMAID is suspenseful, with plenty of plot twists. However, the plot twists and sex scenes are rather lurid. They also involve deceit, betrayal, adultery, revenge, and some extreme violence. They’re also a bit unbelievable. Eventually, the plot twists reveal that the story has a Romantic, lawless, politically correct worldview. As such, it promotes a strong feminist, anti-capitalist view of rich white men. THE HOUSEMAID also has lots of strong foul language and some brief explicit nudity and other non-explicit nudity in the adulterous sex scenes.

More Detail:

THE HOUSEMAID is a lurid thriller about a young woman, who turns out to be older than she looks, who gets a job as housemaid and nanny to a friendly blond lady married to a rich man, but things are not as they seem in the Winchester household and also with the young lady, who faked her resume. THE HOUSEMAID is suspenseful, but the plot twists and acting are rather lurid and involve deceit, betrayal, adultery, revenge, and some extreme violence, with a strong Romantic, politically, feminist worldview containing anti-capitalist content, lots of strong foul language, and brief explicit nudity.

When Millie accepts the job as housemaid and nanny, the lady of the house, Nina, comes across as super friendly. She even gives Millie a new smartphone to use for her job because Millie’s phone is so old. Nina is very self-conscious about keeping up appearances among the other rich ladies in the local PTA.

However, the first morning after a nice dinner, Nina turns out to have more than just a screw loose. She’s super angry and accuses Millie of throwing out the PTA speech she was working on the previous day. Nina’s husband, the handsome Andrew, intervenes and tries to calm his hysterical wife.

As the days pass, Nina seems to have it out for Millie. For example, she makes Millie order tickets to a hot Broadway show Andrew wants to see and to a hotel in the city afterwards while Nina’s daughter, Cecelia is away to camp. Then, when the tickets and hotel reservation arrive, Nina denies order Millie to order them. She lies to Andrew, saying that she told Millie that she was driving to visit Cecelia at camp the Saturday that she had ordered Millie to buy the tickets. Andrew tries to calm Nina again, saying that he’s sure he can get the credit card company to cancel the order, even though the tickets are supposedly “nonrefundable.”

Nina drives to Cecelia’s camp for same day. While she’s away, Andrew informs Millie he was wrong, and the credit card company couldn’t refund the ticket and hotel. So, he suggests that he and Millie go see the play, have some dinner, and drive back home.

Of course, the plan involves Andrew lying to his wife. Worse, the stage is now set for a torrid affair between Andrew and Millie.

This situation is bound to go off the rails at some point.
