A twisty, seductive thriller is coming to the central Adirondacks this winter. The Housemaid screens at Indian Lake Theater from February 5–8, offering movie lovers a suspense-filled reason to head out on a cold February night.

Based on the best-selling novel and adapted for the screen by director Paul Feig, The Housemaid delivers sharp psychological tension, glossy performances, and a story that keeps tightening the screws until its final moments.

A darkly addictive thriller.

Hoping to escape a troubled past, Millie accepts what appears to be a dream job: live-in housemaid for the wealthy and glamorous Winchester family. But perfection, as it turns out, is an illusion.

As Millie settles into the opulent home, she begins to realize that her employers harbor unsettling secrets—and that her new position may be far more dangerous than she imagined.

What unfolds is a stylish, slow-burning thriller filled with power plays, buried motives, and shocking twists.

The film leans into suspense and seduction in equal measure, making it a gripping watch for fans of modern psychological thrillers.

Standout cast and creative team.

The Housemaid stars Sydney Sweeney as Millie, delivering a performance that balances vulnerability with quiet intensity. Opposite her is Amanda Seyfried as Nina Winchester, whose polished exterior hides something far more volatile. Brandon Sklenar rounds out the central cast as Andrew Winchester.

Director Paul Feig, known for his deft handling of tone and character, brings a sleek, controlled energy to the film, leaning into atmosphere and tension rather than jump scares. The result is a thriller that feels both entertaining and unsettling—perfect for viewers who like their suspense smart and stylish.

What critics are saying.

Critics have praised The Housemaid for its performances and its ability to keep audiences guessing. Reviews highlight the film’s “deliciously twisty plot,” its “electric chemistry between leads,” and its knack for turning domestic spaces into psychological minefields. Many note that the film’s biggest strength is its commitment to suspense, steadily building tension without giving too much away too soon.
