Sydney Sweeney'snewmovie"The Housemaid" is absolutely wild.

There has been serious buzz surrounding "The Housemaid" prior to it hitting theaters on December 19, 2025. It's not hard to understand why. The cast is stacked with Sydney Sweeney leading the way. She's become one of the biggest stars in the world, but let's be honest.

She hasn't had a monster box office success in a minute or two. That changed with "The Housemaid." The filmhas earned more than $336 million at the global boxoffice as of February 10, 2026.

I'd heard from a handful of people that the movie was absolutely wild. So, my fiancée cooked a great dinner Monday night, and we decided to rent it on Apple TV+ for $20.

I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was based on a book, but I obviously never read it. The trailer indicated it was going to be a sexually-charged psychological thriller.

Folks, that's putting it lightly. "The Housemaid" is bonkers and off the wall.

The plot revolves around a housemaid named Millie (Sweeney) who is on parole and takes a job with a wealthy New York family as the live-in help.

The wife Nina (Seyfried) immediately comes off as a scheming psycho while the husband, Andrew (Sklenar), comes off as the more rational and caring person.

The tension is off the charts right from the jump as Nina begins playing mental and psychological games with Millie. Very little is what it appears on the surface.
