SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Sadly Over-hyped

Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie of this year hands down!

"The Maid's Room" is a surprisingly decent little psychological thriller that came and went without anyone noticing. The maid in question is Drina whose knowledge of a crime forces her employers to take rather drastic action to prevent her from going to the police. It's stylishly made and at one point seems to be paying something of a homage to Mr Hitchcock and there's a good performance by that fine and underused actress Annabella Sciora as the mother who will go to any lengths to protect her son though, unfortunately, her part is never really developed. If the plot's a tad on the thin side, at least it feels original and it's better than the critics suggested. In fact, 50 years or so ago this would have been a B-movie and we would be singing its praises for being so much better than other B-movies of the period.

..the film was atmospheric and to some degree well acted and directed.The early half of the film was pretty good leaving me with a plot I was about settle into and in the main enjoy. I enjoyed the superiority of the rich against the poor. The lady of the house informing the maid 'my son has been sick in the garage, clean it up'I particularly enjoyed the early stand off against maid and wealthy owner .....there were some early clues of the rich kid attitude.Matters did take a predictable course but could I predict the conclusion, not really because I could not make out the action as most of the plot, unfortunately, was shot ...no pun intended... in darkness and I believe this really did spoil what could have been a thriller of worth.

This movie is not agonizing in the way the bigger part of modern USA horror is agonizing: there are no priest vs. demons vs. supernatural feels vs. very sweet children in a middle-class context. This immediately lifts this movie out of the realm of mediocrity, and sets it apart from all the Insidious-like crap that's floating around the JW player jungle. A good thing was the moral ambiguity in the son's character, as well as the lead actress'"maid".However, it's not really a scary movie for anybody older than 12. This shouldn't even be considered a horror film, imho. I liked the story, but found the execution somewhat flawed in that the main characters (other than the maid + son) could never really convince in their authenticity. Also, the sound-design/music is typical meh & Hollywood-esque (no creative montage, no purist electronic usage, sub-par interaction of visuals and audio etc). The tempo is kinda slow, but not too slow; the story is not very original, but original enough.All in all a so-so one-time watch, but nothing more.

Waste of time. Amateur story/screen writing/music/directing. Thriller? You gotta be kidding! All predictable cliché. Not worth the release in theaters or DVD rental. I was hoping for a certain twist to the plot. But the story just keeps dragging until at the very end you are left wondering what the production team was thinking when they made this movie. This is more of a story in the newspaper, sad but not worth turning into a feature film. I'm giving it 2 stars for the effort. The main characters are all badly acted. Any college student studying filming would have just as easily directed and written this script. You're better off watching reruns of past hits.
