The House of the Devil News

It cements everything that the film does so well, from the uncannily spot-on period detail to the off-kilter hum of dread throbbing below the most banal of surfaces.

The House of the Devil opens Friday in select theaters Oh my gosh, is this movie terrifying.

Focus Features has released the first trailer for director Noah Baumbach's upcoming film Greenberg , which stars Ben Stiller as a jobless guy who doesn't really want to do anything with himself.

Avant garde composer Jeff Grace has credits ranging from The Lord of the Rings trilogy to Gangs of New York to Cronenberg's Spider , and most recently he has written two new scores for Ti West's spooky The House of the Devil and Graham Reznick's original thriller I Can See You .

Samantha, the cute college student, takes a baby-sitting job at a creepy old Victorian house in the boonies, and when she arrives, discovers the weird couple living there doesn't even have a baby.

The opening of The House of the Devil mimics the look and tone of late-model drive-in schlock so fondly, for a moment I could've sworn I was back at the old Marbro Drive-In in Murfreesboro - picking rancid popcorn out of my floormat, ignoring muffled cries from a nearby Chevy Nova .

From its freeze-frame credits onward, this indie horror flick by Ti West aspires to the silent, low-boiling dread of 70s drive-in shockers like Black Christmas and Last House on the Left .

Halloween's a memory, but Ti West's The House of the Devil - which David Edelstein, writing on The Projectionist , recommends as an "ode to seventies gothic, female-oriented horror films in which less is more" - keeps chugging away at the Angelika .

The House of the Devil Review Posted by Joseph Lee on 11.10.2009 Are you sure this is a 2009 release? Starring : * Jocelin Donahue as Samantha Hughes * Tom Noonan as Mr.

Michael Jackson's This Is It Posthumously-produced bio-pic chronicles the Prince of Pop's final days as cobbled from interviews with close friends and colleagues and from footage shot while he rehearsed for his sold-out series of London comeback concerts.

The House of the Devil Directed & written by Ti West The low-tech wonders of this detailed period film include a honking giant Walkman, cranium-cinching headphones, a wall-mounted rotary phone and a plot-twisting pay phone, chipper co-anchors on a local news program, high-waist mom jeans on college co-eds, and fake-out answering machine messages.

Having been bombarded with hype-filled reviews, I went into THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL with high expectations.

The list of limited releases is rather mixed this week with four films, half of which are earning great reviews, while the other half are... not.

Among other things, Tom Noonan is a musician , playwright, and writer-director of two acclaimed films , but most will sooner recognize this tall, reserved but eerily intense gentleman as a memorable character actor from films as diverse as Manhunter , Mystery Train , and Synecdoche New York .

Ti West sure digs his retro. In The Roost -- his tidy little horror film about a group of travelers threatened by some really nasty bats -- he added a wraparound featuring Tom Noonan in tacky butler drag, holding forth in front of a cardboard set as host of a local Saturday Night Chiller Feature broadcast.
