Mini-review: House Of The Devil (2009)

House Of The Devil
Directed by Ti West



Though it doesn't match up to the quality of his two follow-up films (The Innkeepers and The Sacrament), it's hard to deny the obvious talent displayed here by Ti West in his feature-length directorial debut. Practically the dictionary definition of "slow burn", this movie is both menacing and subdued (well...mostly) in a way few directors are capable of pulling off this early in their career. Mature, ambitious, and very '70s, but not in an obnoxious or stupidly corny way (I'm looking at you, Hobo With A Shotgun).

★★★★★★★☆☆☆
