The first reactions to The Housemaid are in, but will the book-to-movie thriller end Sydney Sweeney's streak of flops?

Today, the first reactions to The Housemaid made their way onto social media, which are mostly positive. Check them out below:

COMINGSOON / JONATHAN SIM

#TheHousemaidMovie will leave you speechless. A shocking, twisted thriller. Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar are PHENOMENAL. A campy thriller that morphs into something dark and riveting with edge-of-your-seat tension. It will blow you away.

MAMA’S GEEKY / TESSA SMITH

The Housemaid is a wild, trippy, insane ride! An extremely faithful adaptation of the book, but with quite a few little additions for those of us that KNOW! I screamed, I cheered, I freaked out! Amanda & Sydney & Brandon are incredible together! WOW!!!! #TheHousemaidMovie

THE MOVIE COUPLE / WENDY LEE SZANY

Wow #TheHousemaidMovie is insane! Full of suspense & jaw dropping twists. I went in blind (haven’t read the book) and was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. This movie is unhinged - in the best way possible. Both Sweeney and Seyfriend are spectacular in this. GO SEE THIS!

POPTERNATIVE / CHRISTOPHER GALLARDO

THE HOUSEMAID: cutthroat and surprising in the best ways possible. Sweeney and Seyfried put on an incredible showing with this thrilling, if campy, film about manipulation and empowerment. The narrative is also consistently compelling with every turn! #TheHousemaidMovie

SCREEN RANT / TATIANA HULLENDER

The Housemaid was good, twisted fun! Amanda Seyfried is a force to be reckoned with, and she makes a meal out of every scene. And the soundtrack? Had me dancing in my seat as I waited for The Big Reveal.

WE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT / SCOTT MENZEL

The Housemaid is WILD. The first half leans into camp in the best possible way. It is playful, stylish, and an absolute blast before the film takes a sharp, gripping turn that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney are phenomenal as two women carrying more secrets than they let on, and watching them interact only adds to the fun. It also has big Paul Feig energy. If you are a fan of his films like A Simple Favor, I think you will totally dig this one. I will say that it definitely has some Promising Young Woman vibes, which is a big reason why I was so into it. It is absolutely a movie you want to see with a crowd too. #TheHousemaidMovie #TheHousemaid
