"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.

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

"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."

"8.7. Digiboxi Ihan kiva kauhuleffa, jossa oli mukavan painostava tunnelma aina välillä. Juoni oli kuitenkin melko ennalta-arvattava joten sikäli leffassa ei pahemmin jännitystä ollut. Pääosannäyttelijä oli kuitenkin aivan uskomattoman kaunis nainen joten siitä ekstraa."

"@ DVD As a throwback to the classical 70/80's horror films it is excellent. If I had to guess, without knowing when it actually came out, I would be way off the mark. It does have a solid build up, that does get on the edge of being bit boring sometimes (or maybe I was just a bit too tired?), but it does create a fine atmosphere. Sadly, the climax is disappointing. Everything turns out to be more conventional, more modern, and something from any ordinary horror film the last years. It's just s"

Uneventful, mostly banal horror film

“"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 Saw Massacre so much, in fact, that House of the Devil claims to be based on true events even though the story is almost entirely fictional. 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. Thus, while definitely atmospheric, The House of the Devil is an uneventful, m” read more
