New on DVD: Become entangled with wealthy family in 'The Housemaid'

Tribune News Service on

Published in Entertainment News

A steamy thriller tops the DVD releases for the week of March 17.

"The Housemaid": A young woman with a troubled past takes a new job as a live-in housemaid and finds all is not what it seems. Starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, with Paul Feig directing.

"'The Housemaid' is like 'Gaslight' meets 'Jane Eyre,' with a dash of 'Rebecca,' with all the various roles lightly scrambled, and a much sexier, nastier streak than any of those mannered mindbenders," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Feig stylishly waltzes us through this steamy, twisty mystery with ease, but not necessarily sophistication — this is the kind of frothy entertainment that you can still enjoyably comprehend after a glass or two, which in fact might enhance the experience."
