The Housemaid (2016)
Directed by Derek
Nguyen this film stars Nhung Kate, Jean-Michel Richaud, Kim Xuan and
Rosie Fellner. In 1953 a young Vietnamese woman goes to work as a
housemaid at a plantation for a French Captain.
Looking at the horrors
of colonialism through the lens of gothic horror has a huge amount of
potential but I felt the late twist in this film undercut the film's
script here. With out the final 10 minutes I think this would have
been a much better film. Otherwise this is a well made film and a
very solid genre entry.
4/5
