“The Maid” (*1/2 out of four) was a predictable, by-the-numbers horror thriller about a college student (Kathryn Newtown) who soon discovers that her new maid (Fay Masterson) is a serious sicko and has been involved in many of the recent problems and wrongdoings at her school and in her house. Unfortunately, the writer and director are involved in many of the wrongdoings in this movie which is utterly generic and routine. Fran Drescher’s “The Nanny” had more scares and laughs than this does. Newton’s sincere performance is wasted.
