The House of the Devil (2009)
From the vintage opening title to the end, it captures the mood so well that if anyone see this movie without knowing its time of release then there is a good chance to believe that it was actually shot in the 80s!
Other than that it's a slow burning horror of "
80's" that bit falls down by taking too long on build up the tension or any solid shocker punch. The first 70 minutes leave you feeling unease, like the inevitable is coming...yet it's only a question of when. But when the end begins, it all kicks off...fairly graphic & twisted.
Overall, this is a good homage to the late 70's & 80's horror films. I liked the effort of showing the essence of what horror once was, and trying to give a kind of authenticity of the genre for a treat unseen for the last twenty years.
