About This Soundtrack

The film adaptation of Freida McFadden's bestseller The Housemaid (2025) presents a tense, domestic thriller that explores themes of class, deception, and psychological control. Directed by Paul Feig, the production translates the novel's claustrophobic atmosphere into a striking visual style, focusing on the isolated Winchester mansion. The music mirrors the main character's growing isolation and fear as she uncovers the family's dark secrets, using acoustic instruments and unexpected vocalizations to emphasize the growing domestic tension.

Composer Theodore Shapiro built the movie's score around string arrangements and voice contributions from Grammy-winning artist Caroline Shaw. Seeking to capture the feeling of a bright home turning into a nightmare, the soundtrack moves between melodic solo violin pieces and eerie, disjointed vocal textures. Licensed pop songs from contemporary artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Lana Del Rey are played during key scenes, contrasting with the dark instrumental score to enhance the film's thriller tone.

This page serves as an active database and guide for the complete musical score and song list featured throughout the film.
