House of the Devil
AroView: A fully-fledged homage to the golden age of 70’s & 80’s horror that could easily be mistaken for the real thing, it follows a young college student (Jocelin Donahue) who takes on a strange babysitting job that coincides with a full lunar eclipse.
Muted colours in 16mm., Farrah Fawcett hair, a Sony Walkman, buckets of blood and the presence of Mary Woronov, Dee Wallace Stone plus the criminally under-used Tom Noonan make this a nudge-nudge, wink-wink affair for old-school horror buffs, and a must-see for those that appreciate deftly controlled, slow burn dread.
A young Greta Gerwig also stars and the soundtrack includes the overlooked 80’s power pop of the Greg Kihn Band, The Fixx and Thomas Dolby.
