A Forbidden Love Awakens Dark Spirits In The Trailer For ‘The Housemaid’

A forbidden love awakens dark spirits in the trailer for Derek Nguyen’s The Housemaid, starring Kate Nhung, Jean-Michel Richaud, Kim Xuan, Svitlana Kovalenko, and Rosie Fellner. In the film, “A forbidden passion awakens vengeful spirits within a haunted mansion in this bloodcurdling, erotic tour-de-force. Vietnam, 1953: Linh (Nhung Kate), a poor, orphaned young woman, finds employment as a housemaid in a crumbling rubber plantation presided over by the emotionally fragile French officer Sebastien Laurent (Jean-Michel Richaud). Soon, a torrid love affair develops between the two – a taboo romance that rouses the ghost of Laurent’s dead wife, who won’t rest until blood flows. Submerged in moody Gothic atmosphere, this stylish supernatural saga confronts the dark shadows of Vietnam’s colonial past while delivering heart-stopping scares. The Housemaid arrives in select theaters, VOD, and on digital in the U.S. on February 16, 2018, from IFC Midnight.
