Take Me Away, I Don’t Mind
Easily the keeper of the coolest horror poster I’ve seen in a while, The House of the Devil seems like an 80s horror film post a 1.21-Jigawatt jump through time. It’s almost eerie how well they mimicked the style, not just playing off of the rawness, the pseudo-cheese of 80s indie horrors but really seeming to capture what they were all about, the smaller scale, low-budget look, the dark religion, the simple setup. They really nailed it. Trailer’s attached at the bottom.
But it’s that tagline…that’s what really gets me. Honestly, I’m interested by the trailer; I think the movie looks to be a creepy and spot on kind of throwback. But that tagline! “Talk on the phone. Finish your homework. Watch TV. DIE.”
Are you kidding me?! How great is that!
The House of the Devil hits theaters the day before Halloween.
“…clearly the American indie-horror flick of the year. Sure, the year’s only half over, but I have a very hard time believing anyone is going to beat this slow burning throwback to 80s religio-terror.” – Todd Brown, Twitchfilm
