The Housekeeper

So I have said this before but Tubi is literally one of my fave streaming services. I am a sucker for b-z list movies (truly my guilt pleasure) and I love free. They have been pushing out a lot of movies within the last two to three years and I have been loving them. Though some cheesy and I rate low, I still love it, ha.

This one was really different for a Tubi original. I love that! We have a live in housekeeper who gets hired for a wealthy married couple. I'm not going to reveal any spoilers but it was pretty good. It's a slow one due to build up of a lackluster reveal but it kept me interested enough. Though I don't quite understand fully the history behind the husbands secret, I don't care enough to try to.

It's a good one to watch to pass time.

If you waste your time watching this movie after reading the reviews, its your own fault. First, the movie is so dark in many scenes you cant see what is going on. I hate that. I have no clue why so many movies are made like this. You wait and wait for something to start giving a storyline and it does not happen. The movie drags and drags and drags and is very predictable. Denise Richards acting is horrible like another poster stated. I cant believe I wasted my time waiting for something to happen and make me like this movie. Nope, just another attempt at an overrated horror movie along with so many others.

Wow.. what a waste of time. There's not much in the way of character build up. The acting isn't believable and the storyline is very weak. I have watched many Tubi originals and this one was the worst. How anyone could have rated this a 10 makes me wonder.. did they watch a different movie or were they paid to post a positive review? Or maybe they were one of the cast members. If I was one of the cast members I would be embarrassed to say I was in this movie. I think that Tubi should scrap this movie and pretend it was never made.

I wasted my time, hopefully this review will keep you from wasting your time.

I can't believe I watched this whole movie. After I started it, I figured might as well. Keep going. Not much is explained the acting is terrible and so is the story . Denise Richards is not a good actress and with all the plastic surgery she even talks differently. I feel like I was watching a lifetime movie. The ending is rushed and still left me not sure of what actually happened. I would definitely skip this one. There are a lot of better movies on Tubi so don't waste time on this.

Don't know what else to say, but my review is too short to post. I think the woman who played the housekeeper was the best actor in this film. Really dumb and a disappointing ending.

Was impressed by how much the writer-director accomplished for such and indie level film for Tubi. We definitely need more directors like this one who have more subtlety and creativity than many give credit for. The set design and overall atmosphere of the film is really great. The camerawork and editing are solid and impressive in an understated way. The film reminded me a lot of Val Lewton's films that departed from standard shock shlock in many horror branded films of its time to focus on subtle human drama with a backdrop of horror. Really enjoyed Denise Richards in this role as well. Easy to hate on a film like this but we desperately need to stop comparing films like this, which are opening the way for new and talented directors with very small budgets, to films with exponentially larger budgets.
