The Housemaid

2010 · 1h 47m · Thriller, Drama

IMDb 6.4 Metacritic 68 RT 69%

Skip this one unless you're a thriller completist—the premise trades on exploitation more than genuine suspense, and the power dynamics feel designed to titillate rather than unsettle. You'll find far sharper class-warfare dramas and psychological thrillers that don't rely on sexual coercion as their central hook.

Plot

Eun-yi is hired as a maid in a mansion owned by a wealthy businessman. He quickly starts seducing his employee who seemingly has little choice but to comply with his sexual advances. Soon the women of the family plot against Eun-yi who must fight an equally devious battle to protect herself.
