Manny the Movie Guy Goes Behind the Scenes of "The Housemaid" with Director Paul Feig

Grab your popcorn and prepare for thrills! Our own Manny the Movie Guy sat down with director Paul Feig to dish on his latest psychological thriller, "The Housemaid." If you loved Feig's work on "Bridesmaids" and "A Simple Favor," you're in for a treat.

Feig shared what drew him to adapting the bestselling novel: "I love any story that has big twists and turns that are believable and could be fun," he explained. "I want people to go to movies and have fun together."

The film brings together an impressive cast including Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar—who came highly recommended by Blake Lively herself. Feig describes it as a deliciously twisty domestic thriller that'll have you laughing, gasping, and clutching your armrest.

"The Housemaid" is currently playing in Valley theaters. Feig's parting advice? Don't judge everyone by what's on the surface—and maybe be careful who you hire as a housemaid!
