Amanda Seyfried wants fans to go into The Housemaid movie without having read the source material. "Do not read it until you've seen the movie," Seyfried, 40, told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the film's release. "Then it will ruin the twists for you." Seyfried recalled seeing a screening of The Housemaid "a couple of months ago" with a friend who had "no idea" what was going to happen - despite making some guesses. "This is exactly what we needed, especially around the holidays," Seyfried told Us of the thriller.
