    What a stinker

    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.

    Pretty outstanding for an indie thriller

    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.

    This Movie was absolutely great.

    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.

    A different one for Tubi

    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.

    An engaging film throughout

    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.
