Our take
Bringing Hitchcockian flair to this nostalgic ode to the heyday of the slasher film, Ti West’s terrifying third feature favors menacing atmospherics over shock effects. Featuring a cusp-of-fame Greta Gerwig, The House of the Devil ekes nail-biting suspense from the things that go bump in the night.
