The Housemaid (2025) stuck because it commits to its mystery premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Paul Feig's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The mystery and thriller blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
