Synopsis:

One night, she encounters the maid who is haunting and terrorizing the family. Joy works to uncover the reason behind the former maid’s disappearance.

The Maid is directed by Lee Thongkham from a screenplay penned by Imillya Irwani Roslan; the film stars Savika Chaiyadej, Theerapat Sajakul, and Ploy Sornarin.
