The House of the Devil

[Stefen]

Trailer -

Has anyone else seen this? I wish I knew about it for Halloween because it's seriously one of the scariest movies I've seen. It's filmed in 16mm and looks exactly like an 80's slasher film. I mean exactly. It starts off a little slow, but it never gets boring because it's very atmospheric.

Awesome, awesome movie.

One of the year's ten best for sure. Even though they misspelled my name in the credits. : )

Was lucky enough to see it early in the day on Halloween. Very good, hits all the right notes, slowly inching toward its inevitable conclusion. Gets suspense right. That said, I'm not sure the payoff worked, but I'll give it a pass just because all that precedes it is kinda perfect. Best scary movie in a bit. (Top 20).

They should have called this The House of Wasted Pizza.

I liked it.

Just saw this. What a perfect little horror movie. Its out on dvd and on netflix instant so everyone should see it. The music is fantastic as well, all of the elements add up to make it feel like it could've been made in 1985. First movie in a long time that actually made me jump.

Yeah, I was definitely surprised by this.  It manages to ease in the tension and shifts really smoothly into frightening panic mode and the ending is such a great sendup to the bleak nature of 80's slasher pics.

One of the year's ten best for sure. Even though they misspelled my name in the credits. : )

What did you do in the movie?
