Prime Video has added what a TV critic calls the 'most twisted thriller' of 2026, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. The film, adapted from Freida McFadden's 2022 novel, has already grossed over $400 million at the global box office.
Critic's Endorsement
Luke Eccleston, a TikTok film critic, urged subscribers to watch the film, saying: 'One of the most talked about films that went absolutely viral last year has just dropped on Prime Video. If you're a fan of mystery thrillers, you are definitely going to want to check this out.' He added: 'This is one of the most twisted films to drop all year.'
Plot and Cast
The movie follows Wilhelmina 'Millie' Calloway (Sweeney), who takes a nannying job for Nina Winchester (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). Eccleston notes: 'When Sydney gets there, nothing is at it seemed. His wife is absolutely insane.'
Box Office and Reception
Released in cinemas in late 2025, the film earned over $400 million (£299m). On IMDb, it holds a 6.7/10 rating from 172,000 reviews. One user review reads: 'The Housemaid is ridiculously fun, so contrived but ever so entertaining.' Another added: 'The Housemaid twist is insane!'
Availability
Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers. The platform describes the film as: 'A struggling woman is happy to start over as a housemaid for an affluent, elite couple.'
