After just two weeks in theaters, Maid dances on digital platforms. The vampire horror film about a bloodthirsty ballerina arrived Tuesday (May 7) on VOD.
Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Alisha Wier, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud and Giancarlo Esposito star in the horror film, which follows a group of criminals who kidnap a 12-year-old girl in hopes of making money. $50 million ransom. The kidnapping takes a horrific turn when they discover the girl is a vampire and the daughter of an underworld leader.
Maid is available to rent for $19.99 ($24.99 to buy) on Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play and Vudu.
The film opened April 19 in theaters, and despite positive reviews and a big social media presence — the trailer has garnered more than 4 million views on YouTube and viral threads are everywhere on TikTok — Maid failed to make a big debut at the box office, bringing in just $10 million in its opening weekend and finishing second behind the dystopian action thriller Civil War.
Maid run by Scream VIMatt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The film is produced by William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, Tripp Vinson and Chad Villella. Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher are executive producers.
The film has also been renamed, the directors revealed in an interview The Hollywood Reporter. “The first draft we got was called Abduction Maidand we later learned that an earlier draft had been called that we never saw Dracula's daughterBettinelli-Olpin said. “But we weren't his fans Abduction of Abigail title, and no disrespect to [co-writer] Stephen Shields, who we absolutely love and adore. So we just asked for it to be named Maid because we really liked that, and it stuck in production. In so many of the movies we love where you care about the bad guy, the bad guy is such an important part of the story, but he's not one of the “main characters” like Alien, Jaws, Finisher, Predator. But the title character is still the villain or the monster, so we used that design Maid.”
