The House of the Devil
Directed by Ti West
A stranger lures a babysitter to a house with an unusually large sum of money. But when she arrives, Samantha doesn’t find any kids. Just a large and very creepy house, that may not be as empty as it seems. Indie horror director Ti West (THE INNKEEPERS) made his mark with this terrifying ‘80s throwback, featuring cult horror legends like Dee Wallace (THE HOWLING), Mary Woronov (NIGHT OF THE COMET), plus Greta Gerwig - before she hit it big. You’ll never bop around listening to headphones in an empty house again after watching what happens to Samantha. Contains violence and gore.

really good movie
perfect film no reason not to watch it
Excellent mood setting, I appreciate the grain effect. I do appreciate the lack of lore/background like an actual real event. I have some gripes about the silliness of the kills but still good.
Remains Ti West’s best film to date, (which is high praise since he rarely misfires). “The House of the Devil” has a lightning-in-a-bottle energy to it, with an A-tier cast having so much fun with their respective roles. Will never forget the first time I watched this back in 2009.
Nice 👍
