This is why I do this! It’s gems like this that get my excited. I don’t do this marathon so that I can drone on about movies I’ve seen twenty times, it’s for me to find cool new movies. It’s for me people! It’s all about ME!!
So, when I discovered The House of the Devil, I knew nothing about it. Right off the bat, I liked that it was a period film, 1980s…(is that considered period?) it’s not too in your face, but it’s enough that I enjoyed the little details. Ti West the writer and director made the film on 16mm so it has that 80s horror movie feel and title sequence, I love all those details. IT’s really a fun film, halfway through when everything heats up it’s good, the effects are nice. To be honest, I wanted to love this, but I only liked it. There was something about the ending and what she does to the Satanic cult that I thought was okay, but it wasn’t compelling enough, she just started whopping butt. But still I liked it, I think it’s something new and fun and it’s stuff like this that I get stoked to find.
This weekend, I’m going to LA for a horror marathon filmfest thing and I’ll tell you all about it. Until then, watch this movie, it’s on Netflix.
I’ll give ya’ll a clue on some of the other films that I will talk about, I must see The Shining and Alien I always see them as they are my favorites. So see them too if you want to be ahead of the game.
