A Review of "House of the Devil" — 21 weeks ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
In these days where gore is the new horror, I have a lot of respect for the filmmakers for making an old-school, just plain creepy horror movie. My main problem with the movie was the usual horror movie cliche of characters doing randomly stupid things – “Oh, I want to smoke a cigarette. I guess I have to pull over in this cemetary.” This was probably intentional, as the classic horrors definitely deal with this issue in spades, but we live in a post-Scream world, where most viewers are fairly savvy and writers need to step it up.
