| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A truly superb throwback to eighties horror.. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA fine example of how a talented filmmaker can tackle a horror sub-genre in a way that's stylistically reverential but also original in its own way. |
| UGOJordan HoffmanA group of people old enough to remember VHS parties may very well have flashbacks of the old days - for better and for worse - should they visit The House of the Devil. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergMade for those who have fond memories of low-key '70s devil chillers that focused on mood and atmosphere |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIt's full of meat and marrow. I'm going in again. |
