I Went in Blind… and The Housemaid Movie Completely Gagged Me

I went into The Housemaid movie completely blind—no book, no plot summary, no reviews—and that turned out to be the best decision I could’ve made.

In this episode of Now in Books Podcast, I’m breaking down my reaction to the film adaptation of Freida McFadden’s bestselling thriller.

We’re talking first impressions, favorite scenes, what worked (and what frustrated me), and why I walked out ready to read the entire book series immediately.

No major spoilers—just vibes.

If you love psychological thrillers, messy characters, and stories that slowly reveal their teeth… this one’s for you.
