You know, it's been an awful long time since I've seen a movie that struck me so hard that I felt the need to write a movie review, but tonight I watched the movie "House of the Devil" and it has moved me to the point where I just HAVE to say something.
When I saw this movie sitting on the shelf at Blockbuster I thought "Oh wow! I have to see this!" as it's theme is pretty much right up my alley: Demons and Satanic cults. A big plus was the review on the cover from USA Today, which said "Unbearably Suspenseful!" which I thought was a pretty good sign. I snatched it up.
Little did I realize that the phrase "unbearably suspenseful" literally meant "unbearably suspenseful". I waited for almost 75 minutes for the film to actually do something. It was little more than creepy music set to the theme of a college age girl wandering around a fabulous Victorian Mansion.
Such promise, such a serious disappointment. Don't waste your time on this stinker.
