The Housekeeper

Where to begin.

I give credit to anyone that can write, direct and get a movie produced.

So that is the credit I give this film.

It is lifeless at the best of times.

Not sure if they didn't have a proper sound tec for Denise Richards, but most of her scenes seem to be over dubbed. Many scenes are our overdubbed, but it was most noticeable for Denise Richards. And well we don't need to go into her performance. I'm going to guess they got what they paid for. The shining light is that Ilean Almaguer is a very good actor. She even made the poor writing workable. If you're looking for a cheesy 90s thriller, you're not even going to find that here. The jump scares don't make you jump. If you can make it to the end good for you. I was always hoping for something by the end to redeem it, but it didn't happen. I would guess a lot was lost on the cutting room floor between William and Sandra to show how their relationship grew into a friendship.

The movie over all was poor, but Ilean Almaguer do a great job.

This movie was awesome I believe it was one of the greatest productions of the year. The way that nothing happened at all until the end credits really kept me on the edge of my seat. Im not going to say to much but the acting in this movie really made me think that it was happening right now. And don't even get me started on the sound the "SUSPENSFUL MUSIC CONTINUES" really helped me understand the message this artwork was getting across. This movie i would say really does show you why tubi is free because everyone should have access to this movie. All in all i would highly recommend best movie I've watched in a while.

Tubi has some interesting titles. This one was interesting.

It kept me wanting to know what was going to happen.

The ending was ok and strange but I liked the film overall for it's atmosphere. It was like a throwback 90s thriller, so it was a sort of tongue and cheek wink and nod at that old genre.

The acting was pretty good. Ilean Almaguer was the best.

Of course Denise Richards was good as well. It's nice to see her in more movies. I hope we see more of her.

Overall, it was an interesting, weird, throwback film, that wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it for what it was. I liked how it was a sort of throwback vibe to the old thrillers. Thumbs up.

I love a good thriller, something that keeps you on edge and makes you feel something inside. I definitely felt that with this film especially when the gears get going and they get going at a good pace.

The deal with the housemaids and the Ash family and their secrets while they run for office and how it all ties together is an intriguing one, that once it all culminates to the surprise at the end it leaves you feeling sick (in a good way)

The ending left me wanting more and I mean that in a good way, it definitely has a satisfying enough conclusion but boy do you want more from these characters, it left me feeling gutted.

I loved seeing Denise Richards and Ilean Almaguer is a fantastic star I wasn't familiar with but would like to see more of her.

Overall go watch, perfect for thriller lovers and people wanting to get introduced to the genre.

Can't wait to see more from Stuart Altman who is director of this picture.

A young Latina maid discovers that her rich and well-connected employers are hiding a family secret. "The Housekeeper" is strong on atmosphere and effective at characterization thanks to some good acting by the principals and a gothic enough setting to inspire unease in the viewer. Unfortunately the film's ultimate, rather predictable revelation is too clichéd (and too dimly lit) to justify whatever buildup its creators invested in it. They seem to have striven for classic (if well worn) horror tropes, and succeeded after a limited, less than nightmarish fashion. But that's a little unfair - most of "The Housekeeper" is intriguing in its own right, and if audiences aren't amply rewarded for their time, neither should they feel cheated.
