Well, usually there could be a spooky old house. Maybe the housemaid starts to notice strange noises at night, like creaking floors or unexplained whispers.
I'm not fully familiar with the exact plot of 'The Housemaid 2016'. However, if we consider common elements in stories about housemaids, it could start with the housemaid getting hired for a job. She might be excited for the opportunity to earn a living. As she starts working, she could face difficulties like being overworked or not being treated fairly. There might be a character in the household who is either very kind or very cruel to her. And as the story progresses, she might try to find her place in this new environment, and there could be a climax where she has to make a big decision, perhaps related to staying in the job or leaving due to some major event.
Since I don't know the exact details of 'The Housemaid 2016', I assume there would be the housemaid herself as a main character. There might also be the employer or the family members she works for.
Love and relationships might also be a theme. There could be unrequited love or complicated romantic entanglements between the housemaid and other characters in the story, such as a member of the household or another servant.
It's all about creating a sense of fear and dread. A horror story usually has elements like creepy settings, scary monsters or villains, and unexpected twists.
Sure. Horror stories have been a popular genre for a long time. They come in various forms like short tales, novels, and even podcasts. Some are based on real events, while others are purely fictional.
I don't think it's a widely known horror story in the mainstream sense. There are so many horror stories out there, and this one doesn't seem to be among the most popular ones that are commonly talked about.
