Beginning today, IFC Midnight takes horror fans back in time to 1953 Vietnam in the new horror film The Housemaid, and to celebrate the release of the Derek Nguyen movie, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.
Reminiscent of a memorable scene featuring a ’58 Plymouth Fury scorned from John Carpenter's Christine, our exclusive clip from The Housemaid can be watched below.
Directed by Derek Nguyen, The Housemaid stars Kate Nhung, Jean-Michel Richaud, Kim Xuan, Svitlana Kovalenko, and Rosie Fellner. The Housemaid is out now in select theaters and on VOD and digital platforms from IFC Midnight.
Synopsis: "A forbidden passion awakens vengeful spirits within a haunted mansion in this bloodcurdling, erotic tour-de-force. Vietnam, 1953: Linh (Nhung Kate), a poor, orphaned young woman, finds employment as a housemaid in a crumbling rubber plantation presided over by the emotionally fragile French officer Sebastien Laurent (Jean-Michel Richaud). Soon, a torrid love affair develops between the two – a taboo romance that rouses the ghost of Laurent’s dead wife, who won’t rest until blood flows. Submerged in moody Gothic atmosphere, this stylish supernatural saga confronts the dark shadows of Vietnam’s colonial past while delivering heart-stopping scares."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
