The first trailer for Sydney Sweeney's gripping new thriller has arrived.
The Housemaid stars Sweeney alongside Amanda Seyfried and It Ends With Us star Brandon Sklenar.
Sweeney plays Mille, a young woman looking for a fresh start in life after a difficult past.
She accepts a position as a live-in housemaid for wealthy couple Nina and Andrew Winchester in what sounds like a dream job.
But as the trailer shows, things aren't quite as they seem.

What to Read Next
The film's synopsis warns that "behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end".
In the trailer, Millie is seen being welcomed into the couple's opulent home by Nina. But when Andrew arrives home, he seems less than thrilled at the idea of a live-in housemaid.
Soon, things start getting a little uneasy, with Nina offering Millie a lock for her door, and Millie finding a full medicine cabinet.
Millie is also heard saying: "I need this job, I can't lose it. I don't want to go back," hinting that she might have some dark secrets of her own.
As the trailer ramps up, we see police at the Winchester home, a freaky dollhouse and a bloody knife as we are asked to "see what lies behind closed doors".

The trailer is given an extra layer of intensity thanks to an eerie version of Sabrina Carpenter's hit 'Please Please Please,' which plays throughout.
Based on the bestselling novel by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid is directed by A Simple Favor’s Paul Feig.
Rebecca Sonnenshine adapted the novel, with Feig describing her script to People as a "faithful interpretation," but sharing that there were "a good number of added surprises along the way".
The Housemaid arrives in UK cinemas on 26 December.
