The Housemaid: DVD Review
The Housemaid
Rating: R16
Released by Madman
Just what is it with
rich families?
So much money, so much opulence and
luxury - and clearly so many issues -this remake of a Korean classic sees a
young divorcee given the role of a housemaid in the Hoon family house.
The man of the house suddenly starts taking the master
and servant a little too far (despite a daughter and heavily pregnant wife) and
soon, all manner of problems are on the way as she becomes pregnant.
Soon the mother in law is poisoning her daughter and
the duo plot to get her our of their lives for good-and however they can.
It's quite a slow building film but one with some racy
moments and some wonderful visual touches; there's plenty of starched white
around as well-from snow to shirts, this is a house which stinks of repression.
But it's a believable story, well told (aside from
the final few scenes which take away some of the overall feel of what's gone
on).A strong thriller and one which you can sink into and watch unfold thanks to
the strong central performances

6/10
