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.

so slow, 2 skulls the first 3/4. 3 skulls the last 1/4
Ti West is a visionary and im so glad to see his early work streaming here!
Great throwback, heavily quoting Black Christmas and a slew of early 80s horror/slashers. Lightly meta, like Greta Gerwig’s performance feels like she’s playing the actor playing the character and she’s all coked up
Such a slow but good build up and then almost nothing at the end of the movie. What a waste of time. 80% of the movie nothing happens.
YES! Holy shit, this movie is so good. I caught it in 2017 and have been waiting for Australia for I release it on ANY platform.
