Viewing Notes
Ti West’s throwback horror flick The House of the Devil (2009) divided critics as some called it terrible (“nothing happens”) to others exclaiming its accurate note-for-note depiction of 70s era slowburn horror. Knowing this going in didn’t alter my reaction because this is the film I wanted it to be. I love it. This film captures what I miss most in modern horror having grown up in the 70s and during heyday of the supernatural & slasher film.
