About this product

Sam (Donahue) 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 (cult actors Noonan and Woronov) are the older couple who lure Sam out to their creaky Victorian mansion deep in the woods, just in time for a total lunar eclipse. Megan (Gerwig) 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 (Bowen) 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

    HORROR: The Way It Was, The Way It Should Be

    This was a brilliant throw-back to the way horror used to be (before Hollywood took it over and completely drained the life from it). It had the look and feel of a 1980s movie but the awkward lines and pauses between lines are nowhere to be found. The effects are also pretty good as well. There is not really that much gore but at the brief moments that there is, it’s very detailed. A suspenseful masterpiece that deserves more attention from others. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a true horror fan. If you see this and thought you were a horror fan but end up not liking it then obviously you were not one to begin with. As far as the actual product, the special features are great but there could have been more. However, considering most DVDs now just have audio commentary it is definitely better than most. The cover art is amazing and you wont regret buying this movie. It truly is a worthy addition to any horror collection. This film has some content that (in my opinion) is not appropriate for children under the age of 15 years.

    good throwback horror

    This movie is a good warning to those who go around on campus and pick up random flyers thinking they'll make some fast cash. Scary situation. It's one of those old horror movies that makes you scream at the lead actor on the tv: "why are you going in there? look at how freaky/scary that guy looks! are you stupid?!"

    Vintage Horror

    House of the Devil is a modern day throwback to the early horror movies of the 70's. The opening credits are incredibly old-school and awesome and set up the movie perfectly. Director Ti West knows the horror genre very well and if you enjoy this film, checkout The Innkeepers.
