It is the late '70's/early '80's. Cash strapped babysitter Samantha Hughes agrees to take on a very well paid job by rather creepy home owner, Mr Ulman.(Tom Noonan.) As the Night Progresses however, Samantha comes to realize that Mr Ulman and his no less creepy wife(Mary Woronov) may very well have a sinister plan for her...
The House Of The Devil may very well divide audiences and fans, as it's a slow burning film, which takes its time to get to its payoff. However, I thought it was a fairly decent throwback horror film, that captures the feel of its setting perfectly. It's also got great performances from Noonan and Woronov as the sinister couple. It does indulge in one or two unlikely scenarios, but is overall a decent and solid effort from director Ti West.
Well worth a look for fans seeking something a bit more offbeat.
