- DirectorKim Ki-youngStarsJeon Moo-songYeong-hie NaJi-mee KimThis is a remake of the classic "The Housemaid" (aka Hayo). This time it takes place on a chicken farm run by the wife. This gives a new animal horror to add to Kim's trademark rats (see The Insect Woman). Kim also gives the philandering husband a clock fetish. Before he has sex with the maid for the first time, he winds up a wall of clocks. These chime the hour in a cacophonous crescendo that matches the pace of their sexual passion. As in the first movie, most of the characters are murdered or commit suicide, including the children.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssNg3hDGH_o&list=PLC9AB9E77C6A42135&index=6
