The Maid (2020)

Avid thriller/ horror fan approved!!!

I support rights and wrongs! The plot of a little sister figuring out what happened to her older sister and getting revenge, so satisfying! After the first hour, it was boring for me, but I had whiplash for those last 42 minutes. Plot twist after plot twist, it was like watching the dominos put in place and finally watching in anticipation as it falls over. I won't lie I felt some scenes were unnecessary or too long. I would listen to some songs from the movie on my own ( especially the jazz ones). The leading actress did an excellent job of selling this role and everyone else on the cast as well. Putting it into 3 "Chapters" made sense and added to the movie. I don't want to give too much more away but as an avid horror fan, I enjoyed watching this. If you liked the girl from Nowhere you will definitely like this movie.

One of the most satisfying 2020 asian releases...

Initially, I didn't expect anything to this film, I didn't read anything about this film but instead this film become one of the most satisfying 2020 releases for me.

This film is divided into 3 chapters, of course it's like orientation, complications & resolution. The orientation was so boring, actually it was good because we can get to know the character better but it's too cliche and standard, in this I thought it would be a horrible but I am patient and already bear almost half the duration of the film I watch.

When the complications started, i felt no regret to stay and keep watching this film because gradually the story started to get interesting and the quality of the execution has also improved in this Chapter 2. If you ever played or watch the gameplay of The Dark Pictures: Little Hope, you know when the ghost or the spirit touch the characters. it's gonna be bring them to flashback to the past to see the truth behind something, and in this film it's pretty much the same and wow, I didn't expect it, and it's used really well to explain the past of Joy's boss, Uma & Nirach.

Lastly, Chapter 3, the resolution here it shows what Joy is actually like, and it really shocks me, but that's also what makes this chapter 3 feel satisfying, really all-out, bloody, it ends the story very well and Ploy Somarin's performance as Joy is really crazy but good.

It's been a long time since the last time I saw a great Thailand horror, and I'm happy after watching this.
