You know the ones, flicks like Basic Instinct (1992), Single White Female (1992), Poison Ivy (1992) and Sliver (1993).

“The Housemaid” marks a devilish return to the decade of erotic psychological thrillers, including “Single White Female,” “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle,” and “Poison Ivy.”

Promising Young Woman poster
The media coverage of 16-year-old Amy Fisher’s supposed “affair” with a man 40 years her senior (and the resulting shooting of his wife) and the release of Katt Shea’s Poison Ivy in 1992 gave rise to images of vulnerable young women as master manipulators, taking advantage of grown men who might otherwise have been seen as predators.

Road Trip poster
In the female department, Amy Smart (1999's "Outside Providence") is fresh-faced and proves to have a knack for humor, as Beth, while Rachel Blanchard (1999's "The Rage: Carrie 2") is underutilized and mostly wasted as the object of Josh's affections, Tiffany.
