Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried’s psychological thriller The Housemaid has officially made its way to digital platforms, allowing audiences to watch the film at home after its theatrical run.
Directed by Paul Feig, the film is based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel and features a dark, twist-driven narrative centred on power, secrets, and manipulation.
