THE HOUSEMAID - NEW Official Trailer [HD]

NEW TRAILER for the Korean movie that stormed Cannes 2010, and currently featured on the CPH PIX Festival in Copenhagen.

The remake of the Korean horror classic, 'The Housemaid', moves the story to a luxurious, well-to-do home, where a maid is hired to look after the couple's young girl and, as it turns out, the husband's sexual needs. All the important elements from the original 'Housemaid' are twisted according to a new logic, while various new characters are introduced and the film is given a different tone, but at its core, 'Housemaid' is just as freaky and violent as the original. But it is also far more sexy and cool, and it steadily progresses towards a finale that is worthy of the naturalistic horror of the Grand Guignol. This ending was much discussed in Cannes last year! Im Sang-soo, one of Korean cinema's most poignant social critics, has directed this film, which follows all the conventions of the horror genre, but nevertheless only presents the unexpected on the genre-level.
