Movie Digest
Joy is the new maid of a royal family, whose previous maid mysteriously vanished and is now haunting and terrifying the household. Joy is on the lookout for the explanation for the former maid’s absence.
The Feel Good Part
The story’s twist was fantastic! And, as is customary in Thai Horror films, you will never be bored!!! Joy’s performances throughout the film will astonish and, of course, shock you! Definitely an award-winning film! In fact, The Maid is unmistakably Hollywood!!! The soundtrack was perfect for the horror atmosphere and giving the impression that something strange was going to happen. The film is divided into three chapters, the first of which introduces you to the child and the new maid Joy. The second chapter introduces you to everyone in the house’s complicated relationships, as well as a prospective relationship between the new and old maids. The third and final chapter is by far the most engaging, as the audience gets shown Joy’s genuine features, and Joy becomes more important to the tale than Ploy ever was. What sticks out the most in the film is the shift in narration from Ploy to Joy, as well as the relationship between the two characters.
The Disappointing Factor
The film’s creators appear to believe that gratuitous gore and bloodshed is vital for a decent horror film. The plot is shallow and predictable; one can probably foresee where the story is going after the first half hour.

Star Power
The woman who played Joy gave an outstanding performance; her reactions when she reacted to various events were adorable and well-acted. The suspense and thrill factor were excellent. The cinematography was so stunning and vivid that it gave each scene a rich look. The music was enjoyable to listen to and well-produced. Overall, it’s a worth-watching picture that’s a terrific entertainer, and we can see this film because of the actress’s (who played the character of Joy) incredible performance.
Overall Opinion
