The House of the Devil was an indie darling upon its release, praised for its retro style as well as its slow-burn build-up and wild climax, and seemed to signal Ti West as the next big horror filmmaking icon. After our coverage of The Innkeepers, we wanted to check out his most famous film to see how they compare, as well as maybe discuss why he never really managed to break through after two solid efforts. The halls of this house are dark and foreboding, its inhabitants odd and creepy, and its soundtrack hip and bumping, so put on your headphones and hit play on your walkman and join us on this episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show!
