The House of the Devil

The House of the Devil

2009

Directed by Ti West

I really wanted to enjoy this film more that I did. I really loved the 80s feel to the film. The font of the opening credits... the freeze frames... 80s fashion and hair. What I was disappointed by was the narrative. I felt that the film was too obvious... it was too similar to many other film about cults that kidnap young women. The film had a slow eerie quality to it, but this was undermined by the cliched plot.

Back after a long time!

I've been a bit neglectful of this blog. I need to get back into the habit of writing again! It will pretty much be the same format as before - reviews of film, plays, and musicals... and other things that strike my fancy!
