Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
There's wit but never a wink in this smartly shot production, which pays homage to the 1980s without fetishizing the era.

The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
If nothing else, Ti West’s retro “Satan rules!” thriller The House Of The Devil gets the look and tone of early-’80s horror schlock exactly right.
80
Time Out - Keith Uhlich
West is far more adept at and interested in sustaining an unrelentingly ominous mood than in executing the genre-required spook shocks.

Los Angeles Times - Unnamed
The buildup is undeniably effective; for most of the movie, it provides the same kind of thrills as "Paranormal Activity," if somewhat less brilliantly.

Salon - Stephanie Zacharek
A clever picture, and something of a novelty -- it's not going to change the face or direction of horror filmmaking in any drastic way. But it's fun to watch something that's so obviously made with love.
