The Housekeeper

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
