MUBI's take

Influencing the Oscar®-winning Parasite, it has been said that Kim Ki-young’s The Housemaid changed the course of South Korean cinema forever. An immense success when released in 1960, this striking masterpiece is a blend of sexual obsession and class struggle, horror and social critique.
