El secreto de los Crawford

Waste of time. Amateur story/screen writing/music/directing. Thriller? You gotta be kidding! All predictable cliché. Not worth the release in theaters or DVD rental. I was hoping for a certain twist to the plot. But the story just keeps dragging until at the very end you are left wondering what the production team was thinking when they made this movie. This is more of a story in the newspaper, sad but not worth turning into a feature film. I'm giving it 2 stars for the effort. The main characters are all badly acted. Any college student studying filming would have just as easily directed and written this script. You're better off watching reruns of past hits.

Although it's amateur in many ways, the moods the movie takes you through is a creepy journey making have elements of a thriller but hidden deep within the story line. It is basic in nature as other reviews say, it is predictable. But the cinematic experience is great with plenty of intense moments

Ok it's not gonna win an academy award. But it was well crafted and suspenseful. It's not a big budget but it kept me interested the entire time. I see way worse movies with higher scores that this. It's a good thriller to sit down and watch with the wife or husband. We enjoyed it I'm giving it an 8 because if the low score but it's a solid 7.

Can I say first, wow the woman who plays the maid is very beautiful. I read somewhere they were criticized for "demonizing the rich"? No, this shows quite frankly, exactly what rich white people are like, so not sure where that came from. However, they make the maid look like a complete moron, so that kind of made me angry. There is so much with that, I can't begin, but basically, they make her out to look like a complete dumb****. So, like what, immigrants are too stupid to out think the white rich people? There is countless of things that she did in this movie, that would never have been done by a real woman, any woman, other than a ditsy rich white girl, would do. So, I guess that's where they got their inspiration for her character from. With that said, like I said, this movie had potential, but it stops about 10 to 15 minutes in. So, I guess if there is nothing else you can watch, then do so, but this is not a movie you'd seek out to watch, no. Nice try though.

"The Maid's Room" is a surprisingly decent little psychological thriller that came and went without anyone noticing. The maid in question is Drina whose knowledge of a crime forces her employers to take rather drastic action to prevent her from going to the police. It's stylishly made and at one point seems to be paying something of a homage to Mr Hitchcock and there's a good performance by that fine and underused actress Annabella Sciora as the mother who will go to any lengths to protect her son though, unfortunately, her part is never really developed. If the plot's a tad on the thin side, at least it feels original and it's better than the critics suggested. In fact, 50 years or so ago this would have been a B-movie and we would be singing its praises for being so much better than other B-movies of the period.
