Title: Pass on this stinker!
Review: GRRRR.If you are looking for the much needed reinvention of the horror movie genre -- this is not the movie you are hoping it to be. The beginning of this film is very stylized and makes one think they are about to witness some great movie making. NOt so. The first hour and a half is slow paced -- even for those like myself who long for movies to slow down and build suspense. This would be welcomed if all that slow build up was leading up to something truly terrifying. Unfortunately, The House of the Devil doesn't deliver. The last few minutes is like a different, very badly made home horror movie. Much of it so dark and murky that it's hard to tell what is going on. It feels like the director had no budget left, or even a finished script and everyone involved made up the end as they filmed just to finish. I found the ending too fast, sloppy, ridiculous and disappointing in every way possible. It feels like two different films that both fail as they don't tell a cohesive story.
Is the review positive or negative?
