Amanda Seyfried's Erotic Thriller 'Chloe' Hits Free Streaming

The Housemaid is continuing to build on its success at the box office, but more than 15 years before starring in this erotic thriller with Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried starred with Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore in another sexually charged thriller that is coming to free streaming on February 1. While fans of The Housemaid wait for the movie to come to VOD and then streaming services, 2009's Chloe could well be the movie to scratch an itch as it arrives on Tubi on February 1, 2026. With the same kind of dark psychological thrills and a steamy undercurrent, Chloe was a critical disaster, and a box office flop with a $13.6 million budget that barely covered its budget of around $14 million. However, everything gets a reappraisal when it lands on a free streaming platform, so this could be the chance for many to see if the film is as bad as they remember it, or was a little harshly treated on its original release. The movie's plot goes a little like this: "Catherine and David Stewart (Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson) are a well-to-do couple living in a posh area of Toronto, but all is not well in paradise. Catherine suspects that David, a music professor, is cheating on her with his students. She hires a prostitute named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to meet David and see if he gives in to temptation, but events spin out of control when Chloe spills the details of her torrid encounters." Chole is a movie that received little attention on its original release, but many movies from the noughties are suddenly becoming popular with those who were too young to watch them at that time. It could be that Chloe could gain a lot of attention in February on the back of the popularity of Seyfried's current cinema hit. 'Chloe' Is a Divisive Movie If You Expect Too Much Like many thrillers, there are some plot beats that automatically scream rinse and repeat. In Chloe, there are elements of Fatal Attraction and several other simmering psychological movies of the late 1980s, and in the capable hands of Neeson, Moore, and Seyfried, it should have been an easy watch. Instead, the film's erotically charged art house sensibilities were lost on many audiences, as the 38% score on Rotten Tomatoes proves, but critics did find something to like in Seyfried's "sensational" and "spooky, authentic poise." Meanwhile, both Neeson and Moore were praised for "elevating the pulpy material put in front of them." What does this all mean? According to Metro's Anna Smith, "a guilty pleasure of the highest order." Now with The Housemaid putting Seyfried in a very different kind of role to Chloe, but drawing quite an audience to the dark and sensual world of slightly over-the-top erotic thrillers, fans of Seyfried could pass the time in worse ways than checking out Chloe when the film is added to Tubi's library in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, The Housemaid is still holding strong in cinemas, but will also be coming home on VOD services in the near future.
