I tracked this down after seeing Chabrol's "La Ceremonie," a later film version of Ruth Rendell's "A Judgment in Stone".
"The Housekeeper" takes more liberties with the novel - moves the setting to North America, updates it to the 80s, and radically changes the ending (for the worse). The biggest change is to make the housekeeper a fragile, nervous, sympathetic character, a victim of her upbringing and bullying employers. It's very different from the book, but I enjoyed comparing them, and the movie is a fun ride in its own right. The 80s decor and costumes have acquired a fun, trashy "period" look.
Viewer Reviews
Honestly, a movie with a subtitle of "She Cooks, She Cleans, She Kills" can't really be taken seriously. I really enjoyed this film because of such endearing moments of when she kills the dog for barking and when the kids yell at her for "Hoovering" too much and messing with their stuff. Some friends and I rented this for haloween a few years ago and has since been a cult favorite between us, I only wish more people would learn to love the housekeeper who captured our hearts randomly killing people so long ago!!
