"Kauhuelokuva kärsii ja on kai aina kärsinyt alansa taitamattomuudesta. Se on genre, mikä tuntuu houkuttelevan ehkä enemmän kuin mikään toinen genre luoksensa innostunutta osaamattomuutta ja luonteiden pahvimukikarnevaaleja. Badie Ali, Hamza Ali ja Malik B. Ali, kolme Alia ovat tuottaneet kenties enemmän sontaa kuin kukaan Ali aikaisemmin. B-horrorgenre-elokuvien ystävät voivat mässäillä iloissaan sillä kaikella paskalla, mitä he ovat rahoittaneet. Läjästä saattaa löytyä helmi"

"Tunnelma oli kuin oldschool kauhuelokuvassa, jännitystä riitti ja mukaan mahtui pari helvetin kauhistuttavaa kohtausta. Tom Noonanille yläpeukku."

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.

Alas, it seems that West channelled so much effort into recreating the technical specifications of classic horrors that he neglected to write a script that's worthy of his inspirations.
