The Merry Maids of Madness is a horror-comedy film from 2016, directed by Joe Cash and starring Jenn Daugherty, Amy Baklini, and Rebekah Wiggins. The movie revolves around a group of struggling actresses, who take on a job as maids in a remote mansion, hoping to be discovered by a famous director. Little do they know that the mansion is haunted by the vengeful spirits of former maids, who were brutally murdered by the cruel mistress of the house.

The movie begins with the three main characters, Emily (Jenn Daugherty), Rachel (Amy Baklini), and Angel (Rebekah Wiggins), attending a casting call for a low-budget horror movie. They are all disappointed to learn that they didn't get the parts, but their luck changes when they meet a mysterious man named Mr. Tightly (Joshua Shiver), who offers them a job as maids in his mansion. The girls are excited about the prospect of working in a luxurious mansion, and they eagerly accept the job offer.

When they arrive at the mansion, they are greeted by the eccentric Mrs. Tightly (Doston Darius), who gives them a list of strange rules they must follow while working there. The girls soon discover that the mansion is haunted by the spirits of former maids, who were murdered by Mrs. Tightly when they failed to follow her rules. Emily, Rachel, and Angel are initially skeptical about the ghosts, but they soon realize that they are very real and very dangerous.

As the girls start their cleaning duties, they encounter several strange and terrifying occurrences, including ghostly apparitions and mysterious voices. They also find clues that suggest that Mrs. Tightly is not what she seems, and that she may have supernatural powers of her own. The girls are determined to uncover the truth behind the mansion's haunting, but they soon realize that they are in way over their heads.

The Merry Maids of Madness is a unique blend of horror, comedy, and mystery. The movie manages to be both scary and funny at the same time, with plenty of jump scares and witty one-liners to keep viewers entertained. The main characters are likable and relatable, and their chemistry is great. Jenn Daugherty, Amy Baklini, and Rebekah Wiggins all give strong performances as the three maids, bringing a lot of energy and charm to their roles.

The movie's visuals are also impressive, with some great cinematography and special effects. The mansion itself is a character in its own right, with its intricate design and creepy atmosphere. The movie uses a variety of different camera angles and lighting techniques to create a sense of unease and tension, which is very effective.

Overall, The Merry Maids of Madness is a fun, fast-paced, and refreshingly original horror-comedy. It's not a perfect movie, and some viewers may find the humor a bit cheesy or the scares a bit predictable. However, if you're a fan of horror movies and you're looking for something a bit different, this movie is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to have a few laughs and a few scares along the way.
