Synopsis

Sam is a pretty college sophomore, so desperate to earn some cash for a deposit on an apartment that she accepts a babysitting job even after she finds out there is no baby. Mr. and Mrs. Ulman are the older couple who lure Sam out to their creeky Victorian mansion deep in the woods, just in time for a total lunar eclipse. Megan is Sam’s best friend, who gives her a ride out to the house, and reluctantly leaves her there despite suspecting that something is amiss. Victor at first seems like just a creepy guy lurking around the house, but quickly makes it clear that Sam will end this night in a bloody fight for her life.

Reviews

"It is a fine little old-school thriller."

   - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

"There's wit but never a wink in this smartly shot production, which pays homage to the 1980s without fetishizing the era."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"If nothing else, Ti West’s retro “Satan rules!” thriller The House Of The Devil gets the look and tone of early-’80s horror schlock exactly right."

   - Noel Murray, The Onion (A.V. Club)

"The buildup is undeniably effective; for most of the movie, it provides the same kind of thrills as "Paranormal Activity," if somewhat less brilliantly."

   - Andy Klein, Los Angeles Times

"West is far more adept at and interested in sustaining an unrelentingly ominous mood than in executing the genre-required spook shocks."

   - Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
