It was meant to be a new beginning.
Millie only needed a job, a place to live, and something to keep her going. But when she came into the Winchester estate, she didn’t simply walk into a house. She walked into a jail full of whispered threats, closed attic doors, and a beautiful woman who grins with her teeth clenched.
The Housemaid isn’t simply another scary story. Fans have been waiting with bated breath for the adaptation, and it’s the kind of movie that makes you wonder who is really in charge.
Paul Feig, who is best known for his switch from comedy to sophisticated suspense in A Simple Favor, directed this movie. It stars Sydney Sweeney, a pop culture darling, and Amanda Seyfried, who is always alluring. Early word says the movie is both haunting and fascinating.
When Is The Housemaid Coming Out?
The Housemaid will officially come out in theaters on December 25, 2025, according to Lionsgate. Yes, a psychological thriller is coming smack in the middle of the holiday season. This is some really messed up counterprogramming.
CinemaBlend says that some in the business say that the dip on Christmas Day isn’t simply a strategy; it’s also a signal. A gift that is elegantly packaged but has something bad within. There are currently no official announcements on streaming availability, although there are reports that it will be available on Starz or another Lionsgate-affiliated platform when it leaves theaters.
Sydney Sweeney’s Stunning Transformation
Sydney Sweeney has portrayed a lot of different roles, from fragile to furious to everything in between. But nothing can compare to The Housemaid’s Millie.
Sweeney said in an interview on the red carpet earlier this year, “This character is so much more than she seems.” “She’s not good, and she’s not bad either.” That is what makes her scary.
Sweeney and Seyfried work together to convert this psychological thriller into a power struggle of women’s anger, class friction, and silent manipulation.
