‘The Housemaid’: Paul Feig on Why He Wanted to Direct the Steamy Thriller

Paul Feig, the director behind comedies like Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor, recently told MovieWeb why he was interested in making The Housemaid. He saw the original story as a great foundation for a big, exciting movie. He also felt it would let him use his skills to create a really suspenseful and twisty experience for viewers, something he enjoys doing. He wanted to take the suspense “to 11” and play with audience expectations.
