The new footage frames Paul Feig’s adaptation of Freida McFadden’s bestseller as a twist-driven psychological thriller arriving in theaters December 19.

Overview

  • The trailer introduces Sydney Sweeney as Millie, a former inmate who takes a live-in housemaid job with the wealthy Winchester family and senses danger behind their polished exterior.
  • Amanda Seyfried portrays Nina Winchester with Brandon Sklenar as Andrew, as Paul Feig directs from a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine based on McFadden’s 2022 novel.
  • Lionsgate sets a December 19, 2025 theatrical release following earlier CinemaCon footage, teasers and character posters in the marketing rollout.
  • Feig emphasizes a blend of tension, scares and humor, with the trailer showing rattling doors, breaking teacups, a creepy dollhouse, knives and a bloodied glimpse of Millie.
  • The first look uses a rendition of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” and lists production by Hidden Pictures and Pretty Dangerous Pictures in association with Media Capital Technologies.
