Lionsgate has unfolded The Housemaid as a first-sight-glance of the all-too-glamorous thriller that stars Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried and opens in cinemas nationwide on December 19, 2025. The movie draws the viewers into the world of beauty superficial and betrayal under every door, based on the best-selling book of the famous Freida McFadden.
The director will make the movie darker under the direction of Paul Feig with his style and tension not to mention the fact that he has his sense of character interplay. The screenplay is by Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries) who sharpened the sinister plot of McFadden into a film, and a film, which is sexually attractive.
The Target: Dream Job Nightmare.
The Housemaid is led by Millie (Sweeney), a desperate young woman who needed a fresh start, who gets the apparently dream job of becoming a live in housemaid in the house of a wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar).
But behind the glossy, idyllic life of the Winchesters lies a by-maze of deception. It starts as a simple domestic plot but turns out an emotional battle-ground of manipulation and seduction and threat. Once in that love triangle of scandalous games, Millie gets to see that sometimes it takes a bit more dark decisions than she had imagined in order to make the end.
It offers a sexy, alluring game of secrets, scandal and power where one shock leads to another and they are left wondering themselves until the very end.
The Cast: Movie Star Power and Peril.
The movie has a stellar cast:

Michele Morrone (365 Days) also played an unknown, but important role, most likely supplying the passion and excitement of the story.

Elizabeth Perkins performs the rest of the cast, offering old school gravitas to the high-stakes psychological play.
The Poetic Moment of the Lawlessness.
Under the guidance of Todd Lieberman, Laura Fischer and Paul Feig, The Housemaid is a blend of blockbuster sensibility and genre-delimiting tension.
The film is a joint venture between Hidden Pictures and Pretty Dangerous Pictures with Lionsgate as its associate and Media Capital Technologies, titles that are guaranteed to give a movie that is the populist but at the same time one that would sting or two.
Since Feig has the capability of visualizing elegant yet volatile stories and the filming Sonnenshine putting mystery to the densest of characters, The Housemaid dominates as a winter box office hit, the kind of film that people can talk and talk about even when the screen goes black.
