"The Housemaid": Korea can't stop making great films . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

A rather naive young girl seizes an opportunity to work as a housemaid in an upper class mansion owned by Hoon Goh and his young and beautiful wife, Hae-ra. Eun-yi Li reports to the elder and rather stodgy housekeeper Byung-Sik to learn her position and take directions. The lady of the house is pregnant with twins and the master of the house is the epitome of self-love in the final stage.

Eun-yi Li soon becomes a wide-eyed servant and sex toy of Hoon Goh which results in pregnancy and the plotting of the evil mother-in-law and daughter. Being forced into a drugged abortion, the housemaid is dismissed and becomes obsessed with a final revenge.

This is an interesting character study of innocence vanquished by evil that reveals the cold-blooded nature of the "upper class".

This film is another masterstroke of cinematography, art direction, and screen writing. It has a slow but steady pace that eventually leads to the Eun-yi Li's revenge only to go unappreciated by the family she served.
