The Housemaid: Psychological Thriller Breaks Sydney Sweeney's Disappointing Streak

After several underwhelming box-office results, including the boxing biopic Christy, which experienced one of the lowest wide-release debuts in recent history, Sydney Sweeney is back on the big screen. Her latest project, the psychological thriller The Housemaid, promises a change of pace. Early reactions suggest it might break her recent streak of disappointing releases.

Set to hit theaters on December 19, the film has already received praise for its intense, unpredictable storyline. Fans and critics alike are calling it a wild cinematic experience:

"The Housemaid is a wild, trippy, insane ride! Extremely faithful to the book, with some clever additions for fans who know the story. I screamed, I cheered, I freaked out! Amanda, Sydney, and Brandon are incredible together! WOW!!!!"
Tessa Smith, Mama's Geeky

"#TheHousemaidMovie will leave you speechless. A shocking, twisted thriller. Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar are phenomenal. A campy thriller that transforms into something dark and riveting with edge-of-your-seat tension. It will blow you away."
Jonathan Sim

"The Housemaid was good, twisted fun! Amanda Seyfried dominates every scene, and the soundtrack had me dancing in my seat while waiting for The Big Reveal."
The Distracted Tatiana

The Housemaid is adapted from Freida McFadden's 2022 novel of the same name. The story follows Millie (Sydney Sweeney), a woman with a criminal background who takes a live-in position as a housekeeper for the affluent Winchester family. The household includes Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), his wife Nina (Amanda Seyfried), Andrew's mother Evelyn (Elizabeth Perkins), and their daughter Cecelia (Indiana Elle). As Millie becomes immersed in the family's life, she uncovers dark secrets that ignite a twisted and perilous game.

Directed by Paul Feig with a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine, The Housemaid had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, signaling strong anticipation for its official release.
