Based on the global bestseller by Freida McFadden, the twisted tale stars Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.

Looking for a fresh start, Millie quickly accepts a position as a live-in housemaid for the affluent Winchester family. Things take an unsettling turn when it becomes clear that all is not well behind closed doors. That\u2019s largely thanks to Seyfried\u2019s character, Nina.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer becomes increasingly intense as we see Nina\u2019s unhinged nature, switching between emotions on a whim. One scene has her screaming and throwing things at Millie one second, then crying and calmly telling her to \u201cbe more careful\u201d the next. Things only become more terrifying as we catch glimpses of Nina holding what seems to be a bloodied shard of glass. Another shot has her standing next to police lights. The trailer wraps up with a blood-strewn Sweeney proclaiming she \u201cneeds a f-king sandwich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"info-target-blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/sydney-sweeney-christy-trailer-boxing\/\">Sydney Sweeney Becomes a Boxing Icon in CHRISTY Trailer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"window.nerdistCallbackImageOnError &amp;&amp; window.nerdistCallbackImageOnError(event)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/thehousemaid.webp.webp\" alt=\"amanda seyfrid and sydney sweeney in the housemaid\" class=\"wp-image-1030069\" width=\"775\" height=\"484\"\/>Lionsgate<\/p>\n<p>Written by\u00a0Rebecca Sonnenshine and directed by Paul Feig (A Simple Favor), The Housemaid is \u201ca sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.\u201d Frieda McFadden gives the adaptation a big thumbs up from, claiming the movie captures everything readers loved about the book.
