Article Summary: The House of the Devil movie review explores the extraordinary and genuinely terrifying story behind one of the season's most critically acclaimed and

Published December 7, 2009

The 411:Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) is a pretty college sophomore, so desperate to earn some cash for a deposit on an apartment that she accepts a babysitting job even after she finds out there’s no baby.

The Good: I personally don’t like horror movies. This movie surprised me from start to finish as, first, it’s not just all about the “blood and guts” as alot of horror movies are today. The characters are just amazing and so are the special effects. Just how real it is from a broke college students perspective makes it believable.

The Bad: there’s alot of down time between the action. When it starts it goes “full on” from start to finish is when you’re sitting on the edge of your seat. The down time is the only bad aspect of this movie.

The Last Word: This is a horror movie that I actually enjoyed and would see again. The movie does have an open ending as with a lot of horror movies but you will need to see it to find out. Jocelin Donahue, a former model turned actress, does a fine job and will go far in this business if she watches what roles she chooses to ensure she’s not labeled another “scream queen”.

Theater, DVD, or Cable in a few years: Theater or bust! You MUST see this on Halloween.
