"This night changes everything for me!"

Ti West's fourth motion picture undertaking, 2009's The House of the Devil is an '80s-style horror film clearly inspired by the classic shockers of yesteryear, and it even begins with a grindhouse-style opening title sequence that would make Quentin Tarantino smile. West wanted to emulate the likes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chain ... read more

Shot to look like a classic early eighties slasher movie, The House of the Devil succeeds on all fronts, from the haircuts, to the cinematography, to the cover art, to the sweaters. The premise is refreshingly simple-- college girl in need of money for down payment on new apartment takes baby sitting job. College-age girls, large house on the edge of town, mysterious old couple-- very basic stuff.... read more

"Useimmiten 70-luvun kauhupastissit on melkoisen kömpelöitä ja turhia. Tässä oli moodiltaan jopa otetta ja hetkittäin välittyi jopa ihan oikeaa giallofiilistä. Keltaisia teskstejä myöten. "

" Date: 2/26/2021 Viewed: Shudder First Viewing Note: The reason why I never saw this movie for so many years because I always hear divisive things about this movie. People seem to like or hate this movie depending on who you ask. Better late than never, I finally watched this movie on Shudder and I really enjoy it. The House of the Devil is a solid horror movie in my opinion. I do love how this movie feels like a classic 80s horror movie without trying to be too gimmicky. The House of the Dev"

"Though The House of the Devil is so steeped in nostalgia for the genre films of yore that it seems to belong far more to the 1980s than to the present day, it nevertheless carved a perfect niche for itself in late-aughts cinema. Ti West deals in nail-biting suspense and dread, making him a welcome outlier among his more gore-obsessed contemporaries: Each time the filmmaker punctuates one of The House of the Devil‘s long periods of placidity and unease via an abrupt act of violence, the moment "
