Dark Sky Films is offering a Special Edition Blu-ray of Ti West's The House of the Devil (2009), starring Jocelin Donahue, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov, Greta Gerwig, and Dee Wallace. The release is available for purchase now.
Upon its initial release in October 2009, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL was hailed by critics everywhere. The New York Times' Manohla Dargis said West "has come up with a period pastiche that mimics the low-res vibe and look of early-1980s horror. And he's done it with more shiver than splat. … Mr. West doesn't just rise to the horrific occasion, he also revels in its simplicity, squeezing chills by turning on the lights, squeaking the floorboards and, in a heart-thumping scene, sending his heroine up the unavoidable stairs. … After years of vivisectionist splatter, here is a horror movie with real shivers."
A creaky Victorian mansion, a graveyard, a lunar eclipse and a pretty college girl: filmmaker West brought back all the elements of classic '80s horror – with a modern twist – in THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. West (The Innkeepers, Pearl, X) set his tale in the early 1980s and created an old-school atmosphere of dread and "satanic panic" that rivaled the best of that classic era of shockers.
The film has a classic, deceptively simple set-up. Samantha (Jocelin Donahue, Dead Awake, The Last Stop in Yuma County), a pretty college sophomore, needs to come up with extra cash to pay the rent in her new apartment. She accepts a babysitting job from Mr. Ulman (Tom Noonan, Manhunter, Robocop 2), a tall, creepy man who lives in a gloomy old house near a cemetery in the woods. Samantha soon learns that Ulman and his wife (Mary Woronov, The Devil's Rejects, Eating Raoul) don't even have a child, but Ulman explains that he simply needs Samantha to keep an eye on his elderly mother-in-law while he and his wife go out to celebrate the lunar eclipse. Also in the cast is the then-rising indie It Girl, Greta Gerwig.
