The first trailer for the upcoming thriller The Housemaid has been released, offering a glimpse of Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in a tense drama set to premiere on Boxing Day, Friday, December 26.
The film, based on Freida McFadden's novel, follows Millie (Sweeney), a housemaid hired by Nina (Seyfried) to work in her stunning home. The trailer opens with Nina giving Millie a warm welcome and a tour, but the atmosphere quickly turns menacing as Nina assures Millie she wants her to feel safe, handing her a key to lock her bedroom door.
Disturbing scenes follow, including Nina hurling crockery and screaming in her car, police surrounding the house, and a final shot of Nina holding a blood-stained glass fragment with a chilling smile. The trailer also hints at Millie's own dark agenda as her smile fades once she leaves the house.
The cast also includes Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone, and Megan Ferguson. Fans have praised the trailer, with one YouTube commenter noting, 'The attention to detail! As someone who has read the book, this trailer does justice.'
The Housemaid will be released in cinemas on Boxing Day, 26 December.
