The House of the Devil
This was a film that really was a throwback to 80′s horror, from the way its was filmed to the way the characters were portrayed, even the opening credits reminiscent of that made 30 years ago.
It begins with Samantha who desperately needs some money to afford the rent for her new apartment, she comes across an add requesting a babysitter from 9pm till 12:30am. She’s approved for the job, on the night she and her friend Megan travel to the isolated house in the sticks. They are greeted by Mr. Ulman who has definitly got a creepy arua surrounding him. Mr Ulman soon comes clean and discloses that, he doesnt need a baby sat, but needs a sitter for his Wifes Mother, Megan quickly thinks thats bizarre and trys to get Samantha to leave but she thinks its “to good to be true”, and Megan leaves by herself.
From this point in the film to the end there really isnt anything frighteningly scary, but it is very suspenseful, she’s in the house all alone, Samantha is now a little creeped. She trys to watch TV but doesn’t like the horror, orders a pizza and is even frightened of the delivery guy.
Toward the end it does take a turn and get bloody, she does have to fight for her life, and try and escape the satanic Mr. and Mrs. Ulman and the ultra creepy Mother. It had plenty of headshots, and one in particular which made me jump, and some bloody throat slices and some creepy camera work.
It was good i really loved the 80′s feel to it. It is worth checking out.
The Trailer
I really thought this scene captured the 80′s very well.
