The Housemaid (2025)

On this episode of Movie Torture, Brad, Jacob, and the legendary beach-dwelling MTD set out to review The Housemaid, but as usual the movie takes a backseat to discussions about dispensaries popping up on every corner, Brad’s aunt accusing him of being gay at family gatherings, and a deeply philosophical debate about whether it’s acceptable to “duke on top of a duke” in a gas station bathroom.

Things spiral quickly.

Brad debuts a new sponsor called Sweeney Suppressant, a spray designed to help men focus on the plot whenever Sydney Sweeney appears on screen, while Jacob questions how anyone in Hollywood stays married if their job description involves making out with coworkers for millions of dollars.

Eventually they remember there’s a movie to talk about.

The Housemaid starts with Sydney Sweeney taking a job cleaning a mansion where the family appears normal for about ten minutes before the wife begins screaming, firing her repeatedly, and trashing the house like a raccoon on espresso. Meanwhile the husband turns out to be a manipulative psycho who locks women in attic bedrooms and assigns bizarre punishments like pulling out 100 hairs or cutting yourself with broken china.

But the twist?

Sydney Sweeney isn’t the victim.

She’s basically Dexter for abusive husbands.

The guys break down the wild third act where teeth get ripped out with pliers, fancy plates get smashed out of pure revenge, and the villain gets locked in his own torture room like a DIY Saw trap.

Along the way the conversation somehow detours into:

1. Brad’s dad getting locked inside a car at a dealership
2. Whether Betty Rubble was hotter than Wilma (again)
3. Kirk Cameron and the Left Behind franchise
4. The possibility of Movie Torture reviewing Christian apocalypse movies next
5. MTD’s inevitable death in every episode scenario

By the end, everyone agrees The Housemaid is actually good — which almost never happens on this show — earning a rare Movie Gold rating and immediate excitement for Housemaid 2.

In summary:

A thriller about a killer housemaid somehow turns into a podcast about dispensaries, church movies, gas station bathroom ethics, and why Brad believes hiring Sydney Sweeney as a house cleaner would destroy most marriages.
