Review of The House of the Devil (2009) by Lokesh J — 20 Jan 2011

The movie fails on one thing. Delivering a good suspense. It creates enormous suspense through out the movie but takes it far too long.

Nothing really happens in the whole movie until the last 15 minutes or so. Really disappointed by this one.. Could have been amazing horror movie but it took stuff too far. Also the climax wasnt that great. Premise of the climax was promising but it wasn't really well executed to jump you from the chair. Not that I prefer gore, but there was like only 5% of horror substance in the whole movie. Recommended only if you have great patience for something meager in return. I give it 60% for creating a bit of suspense(would be 80+% if it did not take it too long) and a few good scares.
