The Housemaid (2010)
7/10
Servant problems
18 April 2012
The Housemaid is a remake of a 1960 film of the same name. The new version tells the story of a young woman, Eun-yi, who is hired too look after twin babies for a wealthy woman, Hae Ra, and her small daughter, Nami. The husband, Hoon seduces the servant and begins an affair. Another maid sees the two and reports her discovery to Hae Ra's mother who also uncovers the mistress's pregnancy.

An "accident" occurs but is unsuccessful and so a large sum of money is offered in order for Eun-yi to undergo an abortion, but she refuses and so the Lucretia Borgia solution is tried by these lunatics. I found myself caught up in the behavior of these people and the ending is a pretty good one that will stay with you for a while.
