"The Housemaid" is a title associated with different works, but the two main stories are:
- The 2010 South Korean film "The Housemaid" centers on Eun-yi, a young woman who becomes a housemaid for a wealthy family. She gets involved in a destructive love triangle with the husband, Hoon, resulting in pregnancy, forced abortion, and escalating conflicts with the family. The story explores themes of power, betrayal, and revenge within an upper-class household.
- The 2025 psychological thriller novel and upcoming film "The Housemaid" by Freida McFadden follows Millie Calloway, a woman with a troubled past who becomes a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Winchester family. The household is dysfunctional and menacing, with a controlling, erratic matriarch Nina and a charming but abusive husband Andrew. Millie uncovers dark secrets and endures psychological torment, eventually leading to a dramatic confrontation.
