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.

Decent movie! Great for a weeknight watch since it’s close to 90 minutes. Rising action adds to suspense, but some may find it slow at the beginning. Good jump scares throughout- sort of like VHS!
Ti West's original slow burn horror. This is a movie for horror fans who enjoy a slow immersion into uncomfortable and then the horror.
A+
When I watched this movie I was incredibly ecstatic to give it a shot. It was a sloooowwww build up and then things got intense with the "car scene" and then went back to slow. And then it remained slow. And when there was like 20 minutes left, it was STILL slow... NOTHING HAPPENS. The movie is just so frustrating and I don't understand how people can even like this. Literally nothing happens. I'm not asking for jump scares, those are boring, but NOTHING SCARY happens in this HORROR movie. I can't stand this movie and I want my 95 minutes of my life back.
Love this movie.
